RECONSIDERING THE INTERDEPENDANCE OF AIR TRANSPORT AND TOURISM IN THE CONTEXT OF THE GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Transport and tourism are interdependent, since the development of tourism is influenced by the development of transport but at the same time it affects the development of transport. The improvement of air transport has enabled faster, safer and more comfortable connection of generating countries and destinations, which has a positive impact on the development of tourism. On the other hand, the increase in tourist demand encourages the further development of transport and means of transport are being developed for tourist purposes. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the role of air transport in tourism has changed in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemicand also in which direction it will develop changes. In order to investigate the changing role of air transport in tourism, a three-step analysis was conducted. The first step analyses the interdependence of tourism and air transport in the period before the global pandemic. In the second step, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on air transport and consequently on tourism is investigated. While the third step predicts the consequences that this pandemic could have on air transport and tourism.The results of the analysis showed that the interdependence of air transport and tourism is stable even in conditions of global crises (such as a pandemic). However, it can be expected that both air transport and tourism will experience changes, both in the area of safety standards and in the area of new product development.

A qualitative method was used in the research. The qualitative method was conducted among six experts in the field of sports, in the form of in-depth interviews. The aim of the research is to find out and analyze the views of experts in the field of sports, sports journalism and on the topic of sports tourism and its impact on the image of Bosnia and Herzegovina through the promotion of professional athletes.

GASTRONOMIC TOURISM IN THE CENTRAL BOSNIA REGION

Both cartography and tourismology are scientific disciplines that originated in geography. Until recently, it was considered that, along with other geosciences, they were only subdisciplines that deal with its individual segments in more detail. From the formal point of view, such theories can be justified to some extent, but essentially, we see that these are two very serious sciences with a wide range of scientific research competencies. Traces of cartographic and tourismological research can be found, from the oldest levels of development of human civilization when they developed under the auspices of geography to their later development as a discipline that studies and observes the Earth and its spheres from a cause-and-effect point of view. Since the separation from their „mother“ discipline and their further independent development, with specific scientific-research peculiarities, both cartography and tourism form a special way of studying the objective reality and interpretation of the observed. This paper will research the connection of these two sciences, which rely on each other, where appropriate solutions arise from mutual connections, which are in themselves answers to the questions asked. The specificity of the connection between these sciences is seen in the application of the cartographic method, ie enabling the perception of three important categories through the spatial, temporal and essential definition of the tourism specifics of the treated space. Cartography draws contents from tourism and tourism, in cartography and its numerous methods and means of expression, seeks the most expedient ways of presenting the obtained data.

ADVENTURE TOURISM IN SUTJESKA NATIONAL PARK

The subject of the research is Sutjeska National Park, with special attention on the possibilities of establishing and developing adventure tourism. Sutjeska National Park is one of the four national parks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was founded in 1962, which makes it the oldest National Park. It was declared a protected area due to the famous Battle of Sutjeska during the Second World War, but also due to the existence of a significant natural geographical basis. A large number of cultural and historical monuments, Perućica rainforest, Maglić and Zelengora mountains, the mountain lakes, Sutjeska, and Hrčavka rivers are just some of the tourist potentials of the protected natural area. Until 1992, tourist activities in this area were based mainly on the achievements of the national struggle for liberation. After 1995, the interest of tourists in this type of tourism decreased to a large extent, so complementary tourist activities began to develop. To complete the tourist offer in Sutjeska national park, adventure tourism is being developed (hiking, mountaineering, alpine climbing, cycling, rafting, etc.). Given the natural geographical and cultural-historical elements, the Sutjeska national park is an ideal area for the development of this type of tourism, which contributes to the completion of the tourist offer.

RESEARCH ON ATTITUDES AND PREFERENCES OF TOURISTS IN THE CITY OF BRASOV ON THE INTRODUCTION OF HYBRID TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

The research refers to the attitudes and preferences of Brasovian’s regarding the introduction of hybrid transport systems. Other studies carried out on this topic have helped us to understand the attitude and preferences of Brasovians when it comes to hybrid transport systems. These hybrid transport systems They are based on environmental assessment and meeting the needs of customers who call for these public transport services. The hypotheses are specific to the qualitative research, the formulation is made after the research goals have been defined and the conception with which we will work. The assumptions from which we started are that these hybrid systems have a good impact on the environment. The fact that the technology of hybrid vehicles or all electrics are gaining more ground in recent years. The research is of a qualitative type based on a questionnaire, carried out on a total number of subjects taking place in Brasov. Following the initiation of the questionnaire, we managed to reach the following conclusions, where more than half of our respondents consider that these hybrid transport systems make us - they would be very beneficial and at the same time would have been used by the tourists of Brasov, thinking about protecting the environment. Due to the fact that Brasov is a mountain town with high levels of extremely low temperatures during the winter, I thought that the first step to reduce pollution is the introduction of these hybrid transport systems. Hybrid buses have a low fuel consumption, saving about 30% of the fuel requirement of a normal diesel bus. Brasovians and tourists from the city of Brasov regarding these transport systems. In short, this art icol represents a good development and vision on Brasov as well as a good vision from the residents and those who visit Brasov

THE EFFECT OF REAL EFFECTIVE EXCHANGE RATE AND NUMBER OF FOREIGN VISITORS ON TOURISM INCOME IN TURKEY: COINTEGRATION AND CAUSALITY ANALYSIS (2005- 2019)

Tourism is a field of activity called the “smokeless factory” with rough description, which has an important place in development and employment policies. Moreover, tourism income is an important item in the foreign exchange inflow of countries and thus in closing the current deficit caused by foreign trade deficit. For this reason, it has become one of the sectors in our country which has become increasingly important and encouraged for its development in recent years. In this study,effect of the number of foreign visitors and exchange rate which are the determinants of tourism income on tourism income is examined empirically. In the research, quarterly datas of tourism income, the number of visitors and real effective exchange rate are used. As a result of Johansen cointegration analysis, long-term cointegration relationship has been determined between the series. It has been found that the number of visitors has positive and significant, the real effective exchange rate has negative and significant effect on tourism incomes. In the vector error correction model established after the cointegration relationship, the error correction coefficient is negative but not statistically significant. As a result of Granger causality analysis; two-way causality relations between real effective exchange rate and tourism income, one-way causality relations from visitor number towards real effective exchange rate direction have been detected. As a result, it has been revealed that increasing the number of visitors is an important factor in increasing tourism incomes, and that changes in the exchange rate affect tourism income.
