Currently, little attention was paid to the tourism’s CO2 emission (CE) at province level. Thus, taking Hainan as a case, we computed this province’s CE, and analyzed the relationship between Hainan’s tourism economy and its CE, and the drivers of the CE. The results showed that Hainan’s tourism CE increased rapidly from 99.88×104 t in 2001 to 475.07×104 t in 2015. Particularly, Tourism transport always accounted for the largest proportion of tourism CE (more than 74%). Moreover, Hainan presented a holistic weak decoupling (0.68) during 2001-2015. But the decoupling rate was only 57.14%. Thus, Hainan still has much potential to improve the energy-use efficiency of tourism industry for accelerating the decoupling process. In addition, the effect of population was the dominant driver to promote Hainan’s tourism CE followed by expenditure size effect with the contribution rates of 132.52% and 11.78%, respectively. Whereas energy intensity effect played the most primary role in inhibiting CE followed by industrial structure effect, and their contribution rates were -38.65% and -5.58%, respectively. Last, based on these results above, some reasonable countermeasures and suggestions are proposed.

Tourist Service

Research and practice show that special-purpose programmes designed to promote tourism development at a regional level are generally aimed at improving industry and infrastructure in a targeted region. These tasks, as well as the issues of hotel, public catering and other service quality enhancement, are focal for developers of strategies and targeted programmes of regional tourism development. Besides tourist industry development, policy papers address marketing issues, such as, for example, the development, positioning and promotion of the tourist product. However, the issues concerning the tourist service quality and the hospitable atmosphere in the environment external to a tourism enterprise receive little attention. Experience shows that tourists value not only the service quality as provided by tourist-oriented enterprises but also the friendly and welcoming attitude of the local people, which, combined, serve to create a unique atmosphere of general hospitality. UNWTO regards the ethics of tourism development as important and indispensable. With this in mind, the authors of the article raise the problem of a hospitality standards complex development which, applied at a regional level, should include provisions to be implemented by the tourism industry and infrastructure participants to improve service. The authors hold that a standards complex will ensure a synergetic approach to the creation of a unique atmosphere of hospitality in a region, and assert that the content of the standards be based on the provisions of international legal acts and the legal and regulatory framework in effect in a particular region. A model of the standards is demonstrated in the context of the Yaroslavl region.

Tourism satellite accounts (TSAs) have been widely recognized as standard tools to measure the contribution of tourism to destination economies. However, issues such as high costs of data collection and delayed release of TSAs have limited their regular compilation and practical application in some countries/regions. This study, therefore, introduces an innovative Web-based TSA information system that integrates all functions of the entire TSA compilation process chain, covering data input, data storage and management, TSA table compilation, statistical analysis and other extended applications. The system not only improves the efficiency of tourism data management and TSA compilation but also enhances and extends the usefulness of TSAs for assessing the economic contribution of tourism to destinations. This Web-based TSA information system is established and discussed for a case study in Guangdong Province, China. Overall, the methodology and results reported herein provide academics and practitioners with new perspectives on regional TSA development and applications.

The Impact

South Africa has one of the largest and most developed tourism markets in Southern Africa. Consequently, the sector's performance, therefore, has implications on the regional tourism market. In the advent of COVID-19, South Africa emerged as one of the global and regional epicentres of coronavirus infections. In March 2020, South Africa was one of the countries that adopted hard lockdown measures to control the pandemic. The consequent sealing off of the country’s ports brought the tourism industry to a sudden halt. This study is aimed at examining the impact and potential reopening strategies that the tourism industry can adopt in South Africa. The study is based on critical document analysis of survey reports from South Africa’s National Department of Tourism, Stats SA, Google Mobility and other authoritative, relevant sources. The study concludes that the pandemic had a devastating impact on various sectors of the tourism economy. The most devastating industries include the aviation, maritime, special events, accommodation and attraction sectors. The sudden halting of the tourism industry threatened conservation efforts and the business viability of many tourism establishments. Consequently, public and private airlines were liquidated or placed under business administration with far-reaching implications for various destinations and travel sectors. The study recommends a well-engineered financial aid package for the region's tourism industry, reduced tourism levies and taxes backed by the adoption of stringent health protocols to help the industry recover and make travel appealing and attractive again. A robust vaccination program must support such efforts.

The COVID-19 pandemic has generally destroyed the global tourism industry and threatened the recovery of destinations in developing countries facing more challenges from increasingly serious waves of the pandemic. Although many studies have attempted to measure the general impacts of COVID-19, very little research has been conducted to assess its overall impact on specific tourism destinations throughout many waves of the pandemic. This research aims to explore how a tourism economy in a developing country context has been damaged after many waves of COVID-19. A typical emerging city in Vietnam experiencing three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic was selected as a case study. The study recruited 40 representatives of tourism-related organizations for in-depth interviews, while 280 questionnaires were distributed to participants from different tourism organizations. The findings indicate that the majority of tourism businesses in the examined case study seriously suffered from the pandemic, and very few tourism-related enterprises were able to recover after the first wave of infection. Unfortunately, the tourism business sectors were found to be on the brink of bankruptcy or facing permanent shutdown after the third wave. All tourism enterprises generally appeared to experience a sharp drop in the number of customers, tourism revenue, service facilities and exploitation, as well as employee downsizing, but the degree of downturn differed among the examined enterprises. Among the tourism enterprises, travel agencies and the accommodation sector were found to suffer the greatest economic losses compared to other stakeholders. In general, the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the tourism business in Vietnam is a big concern, which may require a timely economic policy response and financial scheme to better support local enterprises in coping with the challenges during post-pandemic recovery.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the main elements of the process of social innovation by using a case of a tourism cooperative created by an underprivileged community in Northeastern Brazil while assessing the applicability of the conceptual framework proposed by Centre de Recherche sur les Innovations Sociales (CRISES) in that context. Design/methodology/approach The case study was based mainly on content analysis of semi-structured interviews with cooperative managers and members, complemented by direct observation, analysis of documents and data from secondary sources. Findings The process of social innovation in the tourism cooperative presents distinctive characteristics that are not adequately captured by the dimensions that are proposed in the CRISES framework. Alternative frameworks may contribute additional perspectives to complement and expand the current approach to the analysis of social innovation in diverse contexts. Practical implications The study indicates the need for more appropriate territorially based metrics and assessment models for particular configurations and settings of social innovation, such as in this case. Originality/value The paper contributes to a better understanding of the diversity of social innovation possibilities and how extant analytical frameworks may be adapted and expanded to capture such diversity.

Integration as a Tool of Destination Management - The Case of Rural and Rural Fringe AreasIt is well known that the organizational structure of the Slovenian tourism industry is changing. Tourist companies are merging, but unfortunately only a few companies empowered their capital structure and market position, so in a way we can talk about an oligopoly. The situation does not favor rural and rural fringe areas, where an underdeveloped tourism economy cannot represent a solid source of income for many tourist farms and other tourist companies. Integration is a scientifically and professionally proven method for empowering businesses. Integrative destination management, which provides the tool for tourist destinations development, aims at sustainable tourism where the community collectively develops and runs the tourism economy. This paper examines the possibilities for the development of business integration as a basis for the successful implementation of destination management in the Mislinja Valley. A survey has been conducted, where two thirds of the tourist companies in the area were investigated in relation to the destination management and tourism opportunities in the area. Analysis shows that the business environment accepts the idea of integration as a tool for empowering the regional tourism industry, however only interest integration appeares to be acceptable at this time.
