Tourism is impacted by all types of crises, no matter how big or small. Even though many studies have examined tourism crises, most focus on the number of tourists arriving and departing. As a result of this lack of information, The adaptive differences in tourist behavior caused by various crises are not well understood. When it comes to inbound tourism, the financial and health-related crisis can significantly impact the tourist profile of the country and its visitors' spending habits. The findings show that the health crisis has a significant positive impact on tourism. Moreover, COVID_deaths and COVID_confirm_cases decrease the international tourism in developed and developing countries. According to the study's findings, tourists' sensitivity to crises varies between short- and long-haul markets. The evidence shows that financial inclusion has a significant positive impact on various aspects of tourism development in China. Hence, this article offers numerous policy and practical suggestions for sustainable tourism management.

“…To support our argument, we analyze one specific type of inequality in accessing financial inclusion services; gender inequality. Our analysis expands on previous findings (Kara et al 2021;Aslan et al 2017) by linking inequality in financial access with poverty reduction and empirically demonstrates that if gender equality is improved, the negative association between financial inclusion and poverty amplifies. Our findings emphasize the importance of reducing unequal access to financial services.…”

“…Though previous studies indicate that financial inclusion negatively correlates with poverty, its impact on poverty could be weaker if access to finance fails to reach the targeted group. Kara et al (2021) review the growing evidence regarding whether individuals' demographic characteristics (i.e., gender and race) and socioeconomic features (i.e., income and education) affect access to credit. They determine that less education, less financial literacy, lower income, and less wealth correlates with decreased access to credit.…”

“…8 Moreover, lower-middle-income and low-income countries have lower average income and lower school enrollment levels than upper-middle-income countries. 9 Kara et al (2021) indicated that people with less income, education, and financial literacy are less likely to access financial services. So, we can argue that financial services are likely to be more unequally shared in lower-middle-income and low-income countries than in upper-middle-income countries.…”

“…Cross-country studies by Park and Mercado (2018), Swamy (2010), and Omar and Inaba (2020) demonstrate a negative association between financial inclusion and poverty. Recent studies, including those by Kara et al (2021) and Aslan et al (2017), suggest that the efficacy of financial inclusion as a policy tool may be affected by the inequality of access to financial services. In particular, disadvantaged groups such as females, ethnic minorities, disabled people, and immigrants have a lower probability of accessing financial services.…”

This study analyzes the impact of financial inclusion on poverty reduction in 156 countries belonging to different income groups during the 2004-2019 period. We construct a novel composite financial inclusion index and apply both static and dynamic panel estimation methods to examine the impact of financial inclusion on two different poverty levels. Our results indicate that financial inclusion has a significant negative association with extreme poverty in developing countries but not in high-income countries. The effect of financial inclusion on moderate poverty is weaker than that on extreme poverty. We also examine the conditional relationship between gender inequality and financial inclusion, finding that improvement in gender inequality enhances the effect of financial inclusion on both extreme and moderate poverty in developing countries. The effectiveness of financial inclusion is influenced by how equally the disadvantaged groups, particularly women, can access and utilize financial services. Our findings suggest that policymakers can use financial inclusion as a poverty reduction tool.

The City of Jackson, Mississippi, has faced numerous problems related to its water supply in the last three decades. The most recent water crisis stemmed from the flooding of two water treatment plants, resulting in contamination and the shutting down of the water supply. The study examines antecedents to the Jackson Water Crisis and how it was addressed. The article investigates the following questions: (1) What is the effect of jurisdictional vulnerability on the resiliency of the Jackson Water Crisis, and (2) What role does the subsidiarity principle play in the resiliency of the Jackson Water Crisis? The study draws from social vulnerability theory to investigate Jackson's changing racial demographics starting in 1970 to understand the crisis. It then draws from the subsidiarity principle that underpins federal assistance to subnational governments to explain how multilevel governments cooperate to address social inequity and create a more resilient community.
