| Abstract: | Tourism is both a vulnerable and resilient economic sector, yet the impact that this duality may have on the broader economy remains largely underexplored. This study investigates how tourism development influences local economic resilience to shocks, focusing on Italian municipalities during the Covid-19 pandemic. A conceptual framework classifies municipalities into clusters based on tourism reliance and pressure on local resources. Using a multinomial logit model, the analysis reveals that areas with high tourism reliance and pressure were less resistant to initial economic shocks but demonstrated stronger recovery. However, their overall resilience – considering both resistance and recovery – was lower than that of municipalities with more balanced tourism development. These findings highlight the dual role of tourism as both a recovery driver and a vulnerability source, emphasizing the importance of balanced tourism strategies for enhancing local economic resilience. |

Tourism is a sector that has an important role in the economic development of a region. This research is focused on the concept of "Minggon Jatinan" in the context of culinary tourism and folk entertainment in Batang. Culinary tourism and folk entertainment are tourism sector that has great potential to increase regional income, preserve local culture, and create economic opportunities for local communities. This study uses the field study method to collect the necessary data. In the field study process, researchers will be directly involved in observations, interviews, and data collection related to Minggon Jatinan in Batang. The results of this study state that culinary tourism and folk entertainment are tourism sector that has great potential to increase regional income, preserve local culture, and create economic opportunities for local communities. |

| Abstract: | This paper examines the impact of key climate factors and extreme meteorological events on international tourism flows relative to domestic tourism flows. To achieve this, we estimate a structural gravity equation on a sample of 50 countries over the period 2008–2021. On average, temperatures do not exhibit a significant effect on the aforementioned relationship. However, this finding is critically influenced by the heterogeneity observed across countries, particularly the negative effects estimated for Canada and the United States. The number of hot days and heavy precipitations reduces the relative volume of international tourism, although this effect also varies depending on the country. Notably, the United States once again plays a pivotal role in driving the estimated average negative impact of extreme events on international tourism flows. At the global level, storms, landslides, wildfires, extreme temperatures and epidemics adversely affect international tourism. |

| Abstract: | Amid various trade agreements that define trade rules and commitments for economies globally, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) have emerged as the largest and most forward-looking agreements. The combined impact of these agreements is expected to promote deeper integration of member economies, resulting in sustained economic growth. However, these agreements also present threats, such as increased inequality and stiffer competition for local industries. Given these opportunities and threats to member economies, it is crucial to examine the readiness of enterprises for liberalization, especially in less developed economies like the Philippines. This study focuses on the Philippine tourism industry, given its economic significance. It underscores the continuously expanding economic role of tourism, identifies opportunities and threats, and assesses the readiness of tourism enterprises for trade liberalization. To address the research question of how tourism enterprises can prepare for the impacts of trade liberalization brought about by RCEP and CPTPP, a qualitative triangulation approach involving document reviews, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions was employed. The findings indicate that both trade agreements offer limited opportunities for tourism enterprises to participate in liberalization, as they are constrained by issues of mutual recognition and standardization of skills. These findings aim to evaluate the current status of tourism within the context of ongoing developments in the international economic environment. |
