Mega-clusters as a tool of interregional cooperation in tourists field
In order to diversify the Russian economy, it is necessary to pay great attention to the emerging sectors of the economy; with a systemic approach they are able to reveal their accumulated potential. Authors consider one of such industries to be the sphere of tourism. Russia has its own unique natural-recreational and cultural-historical potential, which is not fully utilized, and it is confirmed with the relevant statistics. The authors propose to accelerate the development of tourism by raising the level of interregional cooperation from the position of using coexisting competition and competitive coexistence in tourist mega-clusters. Due to the lack of financial resources for separate regions for the tourism development, the implementation of this approach is effective, as it allows achieving savings of money due to economies of scale. The phenomena of coexisting competition and competitive coexistence in the tourism sphere presuppose the unification of the different regions authoritiesâ efforts for the joint implementation of projects. Regions joining forces on the basis of coexisting competition and competitive coexistence within the mega-clusters will allow each administrative-territorial unit to develop and improve its competitive advantage by asking a stimulus to the development of the other participants. This approach makes it possible to obtain other positive effects noted in the study. Thus, findings broaden the knowledge about the phenomena of coexisting competition and competitive coexistence in the regional economy, about mega-clusters as tools for interregional interactions in the tourism sphere
Sociology of tourism
"La sociologie du tourisme. Le tourisme, en tant que phĂ©nomĂšne de masse,nâapparaĂźt quâau dĂ©but du 19e siĂšcle. Bien que sa pĂ©riode moderne de dĂ©veloppement soit courte, le tourisme a connu beaucoup de transformations allant du tourisme balnĂ©aire au tourisme culturel et industriel. Ă prĂ©sent, le tourisme se dĂ©finit sous trois aspects interdĂ©pendants : comme ressource, Ă©lĂ©ment de dangerositĂ© et phĂ©nomĂšne social. En tant que ressource durable ayant une valeur de marchĂ©, le tourisme reprĂ©sente une opportunitĂ© de dĂ©veloppement rĂ©gional. En outre, lâimpact du tourisme sur la sociĂ©tĂ© peut se transformer en un Ă©lĂ©ment de dangerositĂ© dont les effets seront ressentis Ă long terme. En tant que phĂ©nomĂšne social, le tourisme peut devenir un prĂ©texte de socialisation, une alternative au quotidien, un moyen dâĂ©ducation. Sous aspect ethnique, le tourisme peut perpĂ©tuer ou aggraver les conflits interculturels. Au niveau de chaque individu le tourisme est perçu de maniĂšre

The role of the French state: Shifting from supporting large tourism projects like Disneyland Paris to a diffusely forceful presence
The French state, in its role as legislator, has sustained relations of production within the French economy because space can be selectively configured to promote economic, social, and environmental community goals. It tries to avoid that public value be held captive to private value or that developers bypass environmental legislation. In a country where the state is in the habit of regulating everything, it is not surprising that it should have taken charge of tourism projects. This paper will determine whether the relationship between public and private enterprise in tourism development in France, where the government has systematically encouraged such partnerships, has been successful. The paper will also show whether leadership provided by the public sector in areas not necessarily focused on tourism development is what helped push France among the most visited countries in the world. Decentralisation policy has driven the state to the backstage where it remains active to ensure the continued presence of France on the international scene. Although it is tempting to advocate a particular form of governance in supporting tourism development, most forms have evolved within specific contexts and would be resistant to radical transformations. A careful scrutiny of specific examples helps to illustrate possible effective changes

Social enterprise and tourism, the key to a better integration of indigenous populations
Indigenous affairs are always sensitive and controversial. For centuries, Indigenous populations around the world have suffered from oppression, discrimination and genocide. Even though Governments today are trying to improve their situation, most Indigenous communities are still marginalized disadvantaged minorities lacking in opportunities, and are therefore not integrated to the mainstream population. Social enterprise applied to tourism can offer Indigenous peoples opportunities to develop their economic potential and to become empowered, self-sufficient communities.Entreprise sociale, Tourisme indigĂšne, Tourisme aborigĂšne, Commodification, ModĂšle Ă©conomique
Tunisia : mass tourism in crisis?
Successive governments in post-colonial Tunisia have sought to develop mass tourism as an avenue for social and economic development. Political instability and increasing media coverage have more recently led to a dramatic reduction in foreign tourist arrivals. Tunisia provides insights into the intersections of modernity, mass tourism, authoritarianism and terrorism, and in a world marred by terrorist attacks it becomes increasingly important to analyse the specific contexts from which these emerge. This chapter aims to address some of these issues by evaluating mass tourism development in Tunisia, highlighting the social and economic advances Tunisia has achieved, before analysing the situation since the Jasmine revolution of 2011. In order to fully analyse mass tourism in Tunisia, we draw on our own experience, which includes over 30 years of research in Tunisia, and fieldwork carried out shortly after the March 2015 Bardo Museum attack in the capital city Tunis. Finally, the chapter looks towards the future of mass tourism in Tunisia, arguing that while mass tourism has delivered positive advances, if it is to continue to do so the industry must be diversified and adapted to meet new needs
AmĂ©lioration des offres touristiques en rapport avec la flore en Valais Ă lâaide du marketing expĂ©rientiel
Le tourisme liĂ© Ă la flore est un tourisme de niche qui reprĂ©sente une sous-catĂ©gorie du tourisme proche de la nature. Ce dernier est Ă©galement le thĂšme utilisĂ© pour la campagne dâĂ©tĂ© 2017 de Suisse Tourisme (ST), lâorganisation chargĂ©e de promouvoir la Suisse en tant que pays de vacances, de voyages et de congrĂšs. Ce travail se penche donc sur le tourisme liĂ© Ă la flore, afin de lâintĂ©grer dans la nouvelle campagne
Le touriste solidaire, ou la recherche du voyage « essentiel »
Entre chartes de bonne conduite et tĂ©moignages, les Ă©crits sur le tourisme solidaire et Ă©thique sont de plus en plus nombreux. Ils affichent souvent un dĂ©sir de rompre avec un tourisme « dâavant », tourisme classique, tourisme « de masse ». Pourtant, on connaĂźt encore mal les adeptes de cette forme de tourisme. Le texte propose de mieux cerner les « touristes Ă©thiques et solidaires », non pas tant dans leurs caractĂ©ristiques socioĂ©conomiques quâĂ travers la place que ce type de voyage prend dans leur vie de touriste. Quel est le processus qui amĂšne Ă acheter un produit du tourisme Ă©thique et solidaire ? Au terme de quelles expĂ©riences de vie touristique dĂ©cide-t-on dâacheter ce type de produitÂ
European âcâ quest: community, competitiveness, convergence, cohesion. what should the âeu new comer romaniansâ aim for?
The analyses carried out both at the centre (Brussels) and at the destination (member states) (ab)use of the principle that in public expenditure terms âspent money means well-spent moneyâ and consider that absorption capacity equals economic performance (equated quite disputably with disparity reduction). The aggregate Keynesian perspective provides the main argument in favour of this interpretation: EU funds lead to GDP growth (economic growth). This vision overlooks the crucial importance of resource allocation micro-processes, private property and business activity. Therewith, the process of making European funds profitable and, consequently, the EU convergence feasible depends on the extent to which the absorption environment is structurally reformed. The âcohesion paradox,â which can be formulated like âleast underdeveloped regions have relatively higher chances to attract European funds, while disparities compared to relatively less developed regions might even intensifyâ, can be broken only through multi-dimensional reform, immaterial to whether we speak about Romania, or Ireland, or Portugal, or Spain, or Greece.EU funding, EU regulations, private property, competitiveness, convergence, cohesion
