The research objective is intended to measure the competitiveness of tourism in the Ambon City area to determine the contribution of tourism to the economy of Ambon City and Tual City. This study was done in an exploratory manner. The results of the Competitiveness Monitor analysis show that the competitiveness indicators (Human Tourism, Price Competitiveness, Infrastructure Development, Environment, Human Resources, and Social Development) in Ambon City was better than the ones in Tual City. However, the tourism competitiveness analysis referred to had completely changed along with the regional quarantine (lockdown) system implemented in various countries, and the Regional-Scaled Social Restrictions (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Regional (PSBR)) system implemented in various provinces in Indonesia – which also included a temporary closure of inter-province seaports in Maluku to limit the virus spread. Therefore, there is an urgency of the role of government and related stakeholders to prepare for a new tourism business order, especially in the provision of transportation, and availability of hotels, restaurants, human resources, and environment which are free from the COVID-19 virus.

The Impact

Introduction. The tourism industry affects the development of both individual countries and the world economy as a whole. With the expansion of international trade and other forms of international economic relations, raising the level of culture and education, tourism is developing rapidly. Significant impact on the activities of the tourism sector is caused by exchange rate fluctuations. As the tourism industry cannot adjust the exchange rate on its own, it has to adapt to currency fluctuations. Thus, the role of the tourism industry in the formation of foreign currency is significant, so the question of the impact of the tourism industry on the formation of foreign currency is relevant today. The purpose of thepaper is to determine the role of the tourism industry in the formation of foreign currency. Results. International tourism is the most numerous commodity in world foreign trade, and for some countries it is already the most important export sector and foreign exchange earnings. As the world is currently experiencing a global health, social and economic emergency with the COVID-19 pandemic, travel and tourism are among the most affected sectors with local aircraft, closed hotels and travel restrictions in almost all countrieіs. The exchange of foreign currency is associated with the purchase or sale of currency other than their own. The rate at which the currency of one country can be converted into the currency of another country is the unit price in terms of another currency in which the exchange takes place. For the tourism industry, a “strong” currency makes its country less attractive, while travel to countries with a “weak” currency is encouraged. A further fall in the dollar against the euro will mean that Europeans, inspired by the purchasing power of the euro and the low dollar, will be much more likely to visit the United States and countries whose currencies are pegged to the dollar as tourists. Conclusion. Thus, on the basis of the conducted analysis it is possible to define that really, there is an interdependence of development of tourist branch and formation of foreign currency in the country. Particular attention should be paid to further study of exchange rate changes and their impact on the intensity of tourism development. In countries where the local currency is pegged to the US dollar, the depreciation of the dollar will also depreciate the local currency. Changes in exchange rates affect the level of price competition in countries, as well as the growth rate of national income.

The New Deal

India has recently emerged as a major political and economic power in the world. The financial crisis that engulfed the world in 2008 needed developing countries like India to lead the rescue and recovery, instead of G7 westerns countries who dealt with such crisis in the past. Recently, discussions and negotiations are going amongst G20 countries regarding a new global financial architecture (G-20 Summit, 2008). The outcome will affect the relevant industries in India and hence it is a public interest issue for the actuarial profession in the country. Increased and more intrusive and costly regulations and red tapes are likely to be a part of the new deal (Economic Survey 2009-10). The objective of this paper is to study the perception of higher level authorities in Insurance sector regarding the role of regulator in minimizing the impact of global financial crisis. The primary data has been collected from 200 authorities in insurance industry. The data has been analyzed with statistical tools like MS-Excel. On the basis of the findings, various measures and policy recommendations for insurers have been suggested to minimize the impact of crisis.

The Impact

Uveal melanoma (UM) is currently classified by the World Health Organisation as a melanoma caused by risk factors other than cumulative solar damage. However, factors relating to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) susceptibility such as light-coloured skin and eyes, propensity to burn, and proximity to the equator, frequently correlate with higher risk of UM. These risk factors echo those of the far more common cutaneous melanoma (CM), which is widely accepted to be caused by excessive UVR exposure, suggesting a role of UVR in the development and progression of a proportion of UM. Indeed, this could mean that countries, such as Australia, with high UVR exposure and the highest incidences of CM would represent a similarly high incidence of UM if UVR exposure is truly involved. Most cases of UM lack the typical genetic mutations that are related to UVR damage, although recent evidence in a small minority of cases has shown otherwise. This review therefore reassesses statistical, environmental, anatomical, and physiological evidence for and against the role of UVR in the aetiology of UM.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the modern problems and the main trends of development of the health-improving tourism sector in the southern part of Russia and to identify significant factors in overcoming the complex challenges related to specific socio-economic conditions in the study area. Design/methodology/approach The material that served as the basis of the study comprises statistical data from the Southern Federal District and its subjects, as well as data about the development of tourism infrastructure on the official websites of governments, Ministry of Tourism and the population of the Southern Federal District. This information was systematized from a number of perspectives, including identification of the chronology of health-improving tourism infrastructure development in the chosen territory, as well as the advantages and disadvantages in this area. Based on the results of the study, the authors also developed some recommendations to overcome existing inactive trends in the field of health tourism. Findings This paper sheds light on the understanding of the challenges and changes that took place in the resort agglomerations of the south of Russia in terms of current issues and those that must be addressed in the coming years. It was concluded that health tourism in the south of Russia has old traditions based on the natural resource potential of territories that are included in the composition of the Southern Federal District. At the same time, the authors came to the conclusion that, unfortunately, not resort agglomerations are fully utilized. Furthermore, some historic resorts were not well maintained by local authorities and have suffered more recently because of lack of investment. At present, the financial results of health resorts and others related to health-improving tourism are precarious as most operations are unprofitable, and so complex decisions are needed to address the underlying problem of resource optimization because of the important social and economic role of the cities in this region. They have special natural and resource potential and preserve traditions related to health-improving tourism. Research limitations/implications The paper provides a conceptual analysis based on limited empirical data combined with some directions for further research. Originality/value The paper attempts to reveal the impact of social, economic and geopolitical factors, both negative and positive, on the development of the health-improving tourism segment, restructuring of the Russian tourism market and the emergence of promising opportunities and new directions for development. The findings also provide insights for practitioners and researchers, and the tourism industry can draw on this analysis to guide the development of strategy, increase investment attractiveness, make more effective use of the natural resource potential and maintain pressure on government partners to provide support to tourism.

The Impact

Purpose Library impact and how to evaluate it has been debated for a number of years. While the activity – the busy-ness – of the library is now routinely measured and described, the difference the library makes is less tangible and harder to measure. Libraries in all sectors and worldwide are grappling with this issue, and the purpose of this paper is to summarise international standards available to support them. Design/methodology/approach The first international standard concerning library impact, ISO 16439 Information and documentation – methods and procedures for assessing the impact of libraries, was published in 2014 after several years in development. Findings The standard describes a range of methods for assessing library impact which have been used across the world in a variety of libraries in all sectors. Originality/value This paper summarises the key methods described in the standard, and gives references for further reading.
