In this case it must be considered as tool of achieving important economic goals. The paper proposes an evaluation model based on TOPSIS, and ELECTRE mathematical methods to help the decision makers in selection of the optimal strategy for Gamzigrad spa development. AHP method is used as ancillary method to determine the weights of criteria. A real case study is used for determination of the development strategies, towards green economy. |

| Abstract: | It is expected that what people are searching for today is predictive of what they have done recently or will do in the near future. This research will analyze the eligibility of Google search data to nowcast tourist arrivals to Prague. The present research will report whether Google data is potentially useful in nowcasting or short-term forecasting using by Support Vector Regressions (SVRs), which maps data to a higher dimensional space and employs a kernel function. |

| Abstract: | This paper presents the results of research into the values and norms which are adhered to a Russian tour operator, the employees’ personal business values, and the level of their adherence to company regulations. The empirical data of this research includes the company’s internal documents, four in-depth interviews with senior management employees, and a survey of 98 employees. The value and norm profiles of the organization and its employees were identified, as well as the areas in which they converged and diverged. This research shed some light on those values and norms which are characteristic of a tourism organization, and attempted to fill the gap in the extant knowledge on this topic in the academic literature. |
| Keywords: | tourism industry, personal values of employees, organizational values, organizational norms, value congruence, Russia. |
