Tourism is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Currently, it provides 10% of the world's income and employs one-tenth of the total workforce. World Tourism Organisation (WTO) estimates that by 2020 1.6 billion people will travel around the globe and an estimated income of $1.5 billion will be generated from these activities. With all these financial outcomes, tourism can provide great opportunities for the local economies. The sacred geography of the Tibetan region and the sacred Mount Kailas combines the origins of the world's four religions. For several centuries Tibet was closed to foreign visitors and tourists. This is explained not only by the complex geographical location. Tibet's isolation was largely driven by both Tibetan rulers and Chinese policy.
Given the Great Silk Road and other megaprojects, China's position on the world stage in general is expanding. An area where the Sino-US confrontation could create a deplorable situation in the Middle East is China's attempts to introduce new global digital infrastructure and communication standards. The pandemic has affected global consumption and demand volumes. Presumably, China and its partners primarily want to assess the situation, how trade and tourism are changing on the planet in the face of a global pandemic. It is also interesting to see how the countries participating in the One Belt One Road initiative will continue to jointly invest directly in ongoing projects beyond their borders. The aim of the chapter is to assess China's influence based on analysis its policies in the Middle East region and its implemented and planned trade and business projects as well as an assessment of the results we might expect in the long run amid increased competition between global actors in the oil region.
The aim of the chapter is to determine the security risk factors in the region, assess the existing risks, and analyze the vision and security strategies of the countries in the region. This will allow the authors to find how realistically the states of the region perceive the threats and risks that may be a problem for the security of the Caucasus region, the degree of coherence in the perception and assessment of these risks and challenges by the states, and the foreign policy course. They create a framework to ensure peace and development in the Caucasus.
