Global Tourism

In the developed countries, tourism is an important source of income and wellbeing improvement. In Ukraine, with all its incredibly rich historic heritage and priceless recreation and spa resorts resources, tourism is developing mostly as an outbound one. Under hard modern political-economic situation of Ukraine, with all its financial problems, issues of the situation on the international tourism market and its future changes under COVID-19 epidemics, the place of tourism in the national economic policy are critically urgent and are partially examined in the article. The objective of the research is to reveal the issues of nature, importance, modern state and prospects of international tourism development in the economic policy of Ukraine under COVID-19 epidemics. Currently, tourism industry is a one of the forms of international service trade, which is rapidly developing. In the past 20 years, the average growth rate of newly arriving foreign tourists in the world constituted 5,1%, while currency incomes accounted for about 14%. In 2019, by the UNWTO data, international tourist arrivals reached 1,5 billion which is the tenth year of positive dynamics in a row for the global tourism. The expert’s forecasts for 2020 about the rates and dynamics of international tourism development were rather optimistic and expected its rapid growth for the next years. However, COVID-19 epidemics modified the existing forecasts and plans and radically changed forever the industry’s development. By the latest UNWTO data, global tourism has live through the worst year ever in 2020, the number of international tourists declined by 74%. Tourist destinations in the whole world earned 1 billion less in 2020 that a year before because of the unprecedented drop of demand and restriction imposed on travels. By the experts assessment, export incomes of the international tourism amount to about 1,3 trillion dollars. The international tourism crisis caused by COVID-19 epidemics put at risk 100-120 million jobs in tourism and supporting industries, most of which are small and medium sized businesses. It is even harder to evaluate money lost by state budgets in the forms of uncollected taxes and other payments. The COVID-19 epidemics impact on the international tourism in Ukraine is not as dramatic as in some tourism-focused countries because Ukrainian economy is in a comparatively better state, since the share of domestic and outbound tourism is much higher that the inbound one. Governments of the most countries immediately responded to the acute need of minimizing the economic consequences of COVID-19 epidemics. Among the suggested scenarios of preventing the negative impact of the epidemics on the economic situation, countries used following two approaches: first – aimed at providing affordable credit lines for businesses, the second one has to work out after postponing payments of debt and tax obligations.

Global Tourism

International tourism is one of the most important sectors of the world economy, which affects the main economic indicators of each country and stimulates the development of many other sectors of the economy, including transport infrastructure, communications, trade, construction, improvement of recreational areas and others. The article considers the main global trends that affect international tourism. In particular, data on international departures and international tourism expenditures in some countries in 2016-2019 were analyzed. A decrease in the number of international arrivals in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the world regions was established, as well as a comparison with similar indicators in 2018 was made. The main reasons of this fact are: firstly, the introduction of travel restrictions (in 2020) that had an extremely negative impact on the global tourism industry; secondly, the demand declining for tourist trips; and, thirdly, the uncertainty of the pandemic situation. New forms of tourism that appear in the world (nostalgic tourism, gastronomic tourism, shopping tourism, patriotic tourism, business tourism, health tourism, individual tourism, ecotourism) have been studied. The increase in travel expenses aimed at solving professional and business issues is justified, the reasons for this trend were analyzed, considering the fact that the share of people who traveled for this purpose did not change significantly during 2014-2018. It has been found that climate change poses risks and threats to some tourism types, such as winter sports and beach recreation. This can reduce the competitiveness of some popular resort areas. Therefore, there is a need to implement sustainable lifestyles, innovations, including in the tourism industry, in order to minimize damage to the environment. The measures that need to be taken at the international level in order to reconstruct world tourism are presented. The analysis of global trends of tourism industry development will make it possible to conduct a clearer and more consistent policy, both at the level of individual states and on a global scale.

Today, international tourism is one of the most affected sectors of the economy due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The main purpose of this article is to analyze current trends and identify prospects for the international tourism development in the context of increasing globalization risks in the world, using the example of Ukraine’s integration into the global tourism industry, as Ukraine is located in the centre of Europe and belongs to a number of countries with developing economies, and has the potential to expand its tourism industry, which may be of interest to the international scientific community in terms of overcoming the bifurcation point of its economic development. Analyzing the tourism industry, as one of the most progressive sectors of the world economy, we used general scientific and special research methods (abstract-logical, statistical, systemic analysis and synthesis, abstract-theoretical, and correlation-regression analysis). The paper analyzes major indexes of international tourism development in the modern globalized world and details the risks emerging during the global COVID-19 pandemic. It examines the global dynamics of tourism flows, where France, Spain, and the USA are unquestionable leaders. The study considers foreign exchange earnings of international tourism and the industry contribution to the gross domestic product of countries being an essential component of national budgets. Based on the study conducted, there were developed reliable forecast models for the tourism industry development in the countries under research. These models will provide an opportunity to generate reliable forecasts, which will allow timely identification of potential threats and making effective decisions to address them. At the same time, the issues of managing information support of economic entities in the field of international tourism need to be further developed in order to reduce risks.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has halted activities in the global tourism industry, and the situation has only been worsened by the general air of uncertainty and lack of effective vaccinations. Consequently, people have begun testing various remedies to enhance their immunity, primarily turning to traditional medical practices and home remedies. The medicinal use of spices, given their immune-boosting properties, is increasingly popular globally and has enhanced global awareness of spices and their products. In light of this surging popularity, this study examines spice tourism as a concept of niche tourism. This study proposes spice tourism as a valuable post-COVID-19 strategy by providing four different approaches to position spice tourism within special interest tourism. This paper also suggests a tourism development plan for spice tourism and proposes a strategy for its resilience post-COVID-19.

Problems of efficiency of tourism development for the urban economy should be considered on the basis of a systematic approach, which involves the establishment of different criteria and indicators for different levels of government, as well as a hierarchy of goals and corresponding efficiency criteria. Based on the analysis, the article summarizes the concept of "tourist potential of the city". It is determined that the main components of tourist potential are resource, economic and social potential. The main methods of determining the tourist potential are identified, including expert, comparative, cartographic, technological, aesthetic methods of analysis. The directions of tourism impact on the economy of the territory are considered. Direct and indirect effects, as well as induced effects of tourism development are considered separately. The interrelation and interaction of different spheres of the city economy and tourism are shown. In the analysis it is necessary to consider significant sectors of the urban economy: hotel, construction, catering, retail, tour operators, industry, wholesale, housing and communal services, communications, transport, insurance and banking, medicine, education and others. To calculate the gross tourist product, calculate the sum of all costs incurred for the production of tourist goods and services for a certain period. These are the costs of tourist consumption, private and public tourism investments. In addition, calculate the amount of all income from the sale of tourist goods and services for a certain period. This income from the sale of tourist goods and services, income from renting rooms, apartments, etc. The use of a multiplier to determine the impact of tourism development on the city economy is proposed. The calculation of tourism multipliers involves determining the total income from the tourism industry and related infrastructure. Comprehensive assessment allows to identify the economic level of tourism development in the territory, the effect, and is also the basis for justification and management decisions. The study showed that in the modern scientific literature there are several types of multipliers. These are multipliers of income, employment, investment, commercial operations, production and sales. The foreign experience of assessment of social and economic effects from the development of the tourist sphere is analyzed and the possibility of its use in the conditions of Ukraine is substantiated. Keywords: tourist potential of the city, direct and indirect effects, multiplier.

Tourism literature is awash with evidence of the value of domestic tourism to the tourism industry in general. However; there is limited knowledge of how domestic tourism is contributing towards sustainable tourism development especially in developing countries. This study explored the contribution of domestic tourism to sustainable tourism development in Zimbabwe, one developing country in Southern Africa. Using qualitative methodologies, data were collected and thematically analysed. The study revealed that domestic tourism has both positive and negative contributions to sustainable tourism development in unique ways. In conclusion, it was noted that without domestic tourism, Zimbabwe as a tourism destination would be struggling to grow its tourism product offering and expand its market share on the global tourism market.

Tourism is often seen as the ‘golden ticket’ for the development of many islands. The current COVID-19 pandemic, however, has ground global tourism to a halt. In particular, islands that depend heavily on tourist inflows—including mass-tourism islands, and small island developing states (SIDS)—have seen their revenues diminish significantly, and poverty rates increasing. Some alternative-tourism islands have fared better, as they have focused on providing personalized, nature-based experiences to mostly domestic tourists. This article focuses on the experiences of mass-tourism islands, SIDS, and alternative-tourism islands during the COVID-19 pandemic, and offers possible post-pandemic scenarios, as well as recommendations for sustainable island tourism development. Although the pandemic has largely had a negative impact on the tourism sector, this is a unique opportunity for many islands to review the paradigm of tourism development. In this newly emerging world, and under a still very uncertain future scenario, the quadriptych of sustainability is more important than ever. Responsible governance and management of islands’ natural resources and their tourism activities, addressing climate change impacts, the diversification of islands’ economies, and the promotion of innovative and personalized tourist experiences are all necessary steps towards increasing islands’ resilience in case of future economic downturn or health- and environment-related crises.

Tourism is disproportionally important for African economies, considering that Africa receives less than 10% of the global tourism receipts. The majority of international travel occurs between the developed world, which means that the positive economic impacts of tourism are shared amongst the developed countries. Tourism has become the number one foreign exchange earner for many countries in Africa, diversifying the economy from either agriculture or mining. Tourism is developed with the intention that it will improve the quality-of-life and standard of living of the local community. The tourism industry has shown sustained growth, and it is regarded as a panacea for the plethora of challenges facing many countries. The structural challenges that face the economy in South Africa require an economic sector that can create immediate employment and catalyse the economy.

Purpose The geographical location and the ambiance of the Coastline Mediterranean Countries (CMCs) advantageously present the region as a tourist destination with rich cultures. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach As such, this study investigates the dynamics of energy import and environmental quality in relation to international tourism development for nine CMCs over the period 1995–2013 using a pooled mean group approach. Findings Although the impacts of energy import, CO2 (here as environmental quality) and GDP on international tourism receipts are observed to be significant and negative, international tourist arrival expectedly exerts positive and significant impact, all at the adjustment speed of 0.19. A heterogeneously robust Granger non-causality test further reveals a strong one-directional causal relationship from energy import to tourism receipts. Research limitations/implications The dynamics of the energy market amidst persistent evolution of new source(s) of energy would evidently play a significant role in the region’s tourism sector. It then suggests policy direction to governments of the region and by extension the global tourism market. Originality/value By providing insight into the nexus of environment, energy and tourism development, the current study is the first that addresses the concern in the context of the CMCs.

The phenomenon of rural tourism is known for a long time, now it holds a strong position in the global tourism industry. At national level the phenomenon of rural tourism takes a variety of forms, in which different approaches to the appropriate tourism product development and its integration with additional services are implemented. The study conducted by the author demonstrates that the success of rural tourism development depends on the efforts of national and regional regulatory agencies, as well as local government entities. The article presents established practices of support and regulation of rural tourism, summarizes scientific approaches to the formalization of the rural tourism state regulation and grouping of its functions. It is proved that the phenomenon of rural tourism appears at the intersection of three management objects: regional policy in terms of development of rural areas, tourism development policies, especially in diversification of the tourism product, as well as agriculture development policies, promotion of technologies and products. Based on the research results the author presents interpretation of the types of the rural tourism development public policies.
