The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the measures taken to combat the effects of the coronavirus pandemic in the tourism sector. Therefore, the study evaluates the employment rates in the tourism-related sectors and the course of the tourism sector revenues during the pandemic period in Turkey. According to the results of the study conducted based on the observation of statistical data, the arts, entertainment, and recreation sector experienced the highest employment loss with 38.9%. As a result of the restrictions on tourist mobility, the decrease in tourism revenues has reached 65% compared to the pre-pandemic period. While the research reveals the importance of the tourism sector for national economies, it also emphasizes the sensitivity of the sector against unexpected developments. The study is expected to contribute to the literature as it is an example and source for future applied and theoretical studies on the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the statistical data of recent years, tourism has been one of the ever-growing sectors in Azerbaijan. Thus, in the last five years, there has been a steady increase in the number of entrepreneurship subjects serving tourism in Azerbaijan and the number of foreign nationals traveling for tourism, correspondingly 4.5 and 8.5 percent. At present, the direct share of the tourism industry in the country's GDP and employment is 4.5 and 3.3 percent, respectively. In the article econometric analysis of the dependence on the relationship between tourism industry graduates and their development has been done. The regression equation of the dependence of the number of graduates studying tourism on the number of tourists in the country and the dependence of the tourism sector’s GDP on the number of graduates in the tourism sector were estimated using the Eviews software based on 2008–2017 statistical data using the least squares method.

The burgeoning spectrum of tourist demand and changing tastes and preferences calls for developing the nation’s tourism profile. India, one of the fastest-growing economies and a potential attractor of tourists, is estimated to be the world’s third-largest tourism economy by 2028 (as per World Tourism and Travel Council [WTTC] estimates) and is expected to draw massive investment in this sector. Thus, the present study aims to analyse various factors impacting foreign flows in the tourism sector and develops a hierarchical structure among the identified factors through the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) technique. A MICMAC (Matrix of Cross-Impact Multiplications Applied to Classification) analysis is performed to categorise the identified factors based on the driving power and dependence level. The interrelationships among the variables were derived from the opinion gardened from 50 research and industry experts. The results showed that political stability plays a critical component in driving other variables in the system. Also, a stable system is likely to impact the economic environment of a nation positively, thus, creating a desirable profile for investors to invest in tourism businesses or the development of destinations.

Professional audiences, scholars, and researchers bring varied experiences and expertise to the acquisition of new understandings and to problem solving in visual art and literary contexts. The same breadth of experience and learning capability was found for students at eighth grade, sampled from the national population of students in the United States who were queried in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) about formal knowledge, technical skills, and abstract reasoning in visual art and in language arts. This chapter explores statistical data relating to the presence of art specialists in the sampled eighth grade classrooms. In particular, schools with specialists in place varied in density across the country as is demonstrated through geographic mapping. Secondary analysis of NAEP restricted data showed that students in schools with art specialists performed significantly better than students in schools with other types of teachers, or no teacher. The authors surmise that art specialists conveyed something fundamental to NAEP 2008 Response scores. An aspirational model of assessment assumes broad audience clarity through knowledge visualization technology, via thematic mapping. The authors explore through analog Deleuze and Guattari's double articulation of signs in natural and programming languages and demonstrate through knowledge representation the means by which complex primary and secondary statistical data can be understood in a discipline and articulated across disciplines. This chapter considers NAEP data that might substantiate a general model of aspirational learning and associates patterns in perception discussed by researchers and philosophers.

Las investigaciones sobre la responsabilidad social en el sector turístico son aún escasas, entre otras causas, por el carácter relativamente reciente de la aplicación de este concepto a la actividad turística, así como por la complejidad y dificultad que encierra su análisis aplicado al sector turístico de una forma global. En este sentido, el presente artículo, a partir del análisis bibliográfico de la Economía del Turismo desde el enfoque de demanda y del de oferta, pretende proponer un marco teórico que facilite la aplicación y el fomento de este concepto en un sector tan heterogéneo como es el turismo. ABSTRACTResearch on social responsibility in the tourism sector are scarce due to the relatively recent nature of the application of this concept to tourism, as well as the complexity and difficulty of this analysis applied to the tourism sector of a integrated form. In this sense, this article, with a literature review about the Tourism Economy from the perspective of demand and supply, proposes a theoretical framework from the supply approach, to facilitate the implementation and promotion of this concept in such a heterogeneous sector is tourism.

As our research has shown, the number of foreign tourists visiting Czechia rose in the period between 2012 and 2017, as did hotel occupancy and accommodation prices. The growth of the local economy, the new airlines from Asia and the USA to Prague, and the perception of the Czech metropolis as a safe destination, played a big part in it. Compared to other accommodation facilities, the number of 5- and 4-star hotels is still growing in Czechia, thus better meeting the needs of demanding tourists. According to experience and statistical data, these are non-European tourists and tourists with above-average income. The growth in the number of these tourists had a strong influence on the increase in the number of hotels and the increase in the capacity of the highest-category hotels. Building new, quality hotels, and renovating historical buildings to a higher standard to provide an outstanding experience for foreign tourists staying in Czechia, can contribute to achieving the sustainability of the tourism sector in the country. Also mentioned is the current impact of the coronavirus pandemic on tourism in Czechia. A statistical analysis of time series of indicators and hypothesis testing were the main methods used in the study.
