This article discusses the role of women in supporting sustainable tourism development in Bali by promoting Balinese cuisine to the tourism world. To date, studies on the role of Balinese women in the tourism industry have looked mainly at women as ordinary workers or professionals. In fact, Balinese women operate as culinary entrepreneurs who have not only been successful in introducing Balinese cuisine to the world of tourism but have opened up job opportunities for men and women alike. The data presented in this article was collected through observation of four leading Balinese women who run successful local culinary outlets or restaurants offering local dishes, and is complemented by interviews and other published sources relating to their business activities. The four pioneering women surveyed are Men Tempeh of Gilimanuk (West Bali) serving chicken betutu, the suckling pig restaurant manager Ibu Oka in Ubud, the owner of Made’s Warung Ni Made Masih, and the catering company owner Ibu Warti Buleleng, based in Denpasar. This article concludes that these four Balinese culinary heroines or srikandi have successfully managed to preserve and promote Balinese dishes to the world of tourism while contributing to the sustainable development of Balinese tourism by providing opportunities for tourists to experience local cuisine.

The shared economy occupies through shared accommodation a full-featured position in many economies of the world and the extent of its impact can be expressed in various ways. In addition, the price of accommodation appears to be a sufficiently objective, measurable, and comparable element to other statistical instruments of the economic environment. In the article, we use statistical methods of correlation and regression analysis to express the relationships between the dependent variable in the form of the price of shared accommodation in European Union countries and other economic indicators of the macroenvironment and the tourism industry, which thus represent an independent variable. The results signal that shared accommodation prices shows a higher degree of correlation with other indicators of the tourism sector than with other macroeconomic indicators in individual countries.

As COVID-19 spread globally, it has created many challenges in health and security, daily lives, the national economy, and the global tourism industry.

Further Development

The article considers the main problems affecting the development of international tourism and predicts the further development of the situation. The growing tourist flow has contributed to the intensification of entrepreneurship in all sectors of the economy, capitalization of assets, job creation, economic and social growth. In 2019, the global tourism industry provided about 330 million jobs, equivalent to 10.3% of total employment. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis in the tourism industry. The flow of tourists in the world has decreased by about 65%. In January-September 2020 alone, the number of international revenues decreased by 70%.This has resulted in the loss of $ 730 billion and more than 120 million jobs. It is noted that in modern conditions there are possible directions of development of inbound and domestic tourism, which are an important factor influencing the economy, but the weakening of external restrictions and lack of competitive service in the Ukrainian tourism industry will contribute to further development of international tourism. Those countries in which tourism occupies a significant share in GDP, are interested in attracting tourists as soon as possible and are ready to promptly implement all necessary anti-epidemic measures in the tourist infrastructure. For the Ukrainian government today, such a strategy is not a priority. Based on this, it is proved that the essence of the scientific and applied aspect of managing the development of international tourism is based on the theory of large business cycles and the theory of prediction. It was emphasized that the world crises ended sooner or later and a new round of development began. The task of mastering the forces of socio-economic life and subordinating them to the conscious, planned leadership of the state, as well as constructive and continuous social dialogue between the government and social partners, is the next practical transformation of today. The program of conscious organizational and regulatory steps should be knowledge, anticipation and action plan. When developing an anti-crisis plan to overcome the impact of COVID-19 on the tourism sector in Ukraine, it is necessary to take into account the recommendations of the Global Crisis Committee on Tourism, namely: crisis management and job preservation; support for self-employed workers; providing incentives and implementing appropriate state policy in the field of international tourism. In predicting the future development of the situation, more attention should be paid to the role of the tourism sector in the country's economy and the achievement of sustainable development goals; develop plans for preparedness for the challenges of the future and use this opportunity to move to sustainable development of tourism facilities.

Tourism, a multi-dimensional and multi-faceted activity with diverse social, cultural, economic and ecological impacts, got evolved as one of the largest and most significant economic sectors in the world. The lure of tourism as an engine of economic growth and diversification has been urging each and every country in the world to develop and promote it in the most possible manner (Dileep, 2018). As per the current projections, tourism is tend to grow further and it will remain as one of the most vibrant, growing and economically useful activities in the world having wide social and cultural ramifications in the years to come as well. Being an amalgam of industries, this sector includes a diverse range of industries like, intermediaries; transportation; accommodation; entertainment and recreation; shopping; hospitality; and infrastructure. Complex linkages and interrelationships exist among the various individual sectors of the tourism industry. The post second world war era has witnessed tremendous growth of tourism and in the same era has recorded the evolution and growth of information and communication technology as well. Information Technology has become one of the most fundamental and vital components of the successful businesses and organizations and is a major facilitator. In the growth of tourism as a major social phenomenon in the 21st century, Information and communication technology (ICT) too had played significant roles. Indeed, the relationship between tourism and ICT was symbiotic as well, since the latter sector got many opportunities for the application of it in the tourism sector, like in the air transportation which was a pioneer in developing transaction systems for handling the cumbersome booking data in the 1950s and 60s. Information systems for the core of ICT applications in businesses and organisations. Tourism Sector too has been using different types of information systems intensively in the international scenario. Kerala, one of the late entrants in the international tourism, has turned to be successful international tourist destinations within a few decades of time. The number of tourism arrivals has been registering consistent growth and the industry got expanded exponentially in Kerala. To compete globally, tourism of anywhere requires a variety of information systems. Kerala tourism industry is also not an exception to this. In this context, a study on the current usage of information systems in the tourism sector in Kerala seems inevitable. The study has to focus upon the types of information systems used by the tourism industry in Kerala, efficiency as well as the impacts of the usage of such information systems by the industry, comparing the scenario with the international standards and also to discuss about the future to suggest suitable solutions to look ahead to have more competence by the Kerala tourism
