“…Tourism represents a great strategy for encouraging and improving economic development, not only in developing, but in developed countries as well [1]. It made up 9.8% of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and contributed to the global economy with $7.61 trillion USD in 2016 [1]. The analysis of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), which included 184 countries, has shown that the tourism sector generated 284 million workplaces, meaning that 1 out of 11 workplaces in the world comes from the tourism sector [2].…”

“…Moreover, under the influence of several factors, including life dynamics, the increasing progress and higher knowledge level, people's desire and possibility to travel and discover will only increase in future [2]. This can be related to the prediction from the World Tourism Organization (WTO), according to which 1.8 billion people will be engaged in tourism by 2030 [1].…”

“…Following the definition of the United Nations, sustainable tourism represents a type of tourism which pays full attention to its current and future social, economic, and environmental effects, taking into account the needs of visitors, the environment, the industry, and host communities [1]. A similar explanation is given by the World Tourism Organization, according to which models of sustainable tourism must be focused on the needs of current tourists and the recipient region, as well as on the protection of resources, all in order to ensure future opportunities [15].…”

The significance of green rural tourism for sustainable development is widely recognized. In addition, a number of researches attempt to explain the green choice among tourists. Hereby, different theoretical approaches are used. The dynamic approach to the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is implemented in this study. The approach considers that the influence of different elements of TPB (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control) on intention to visit green rural hotels is tested in the context of different phases in behavior change of the respondents (pre-decision, pre-action, action). According to the authors’ knowledge, this is the first implementation of the dynamic approach to the TPB in understanding green rural choice. During data analysis, multigroup structural equation modelling (SEM) was used. The results indicate that the existence and the strength of the influences of the elements of TPB are different in different phases of behavior change. Managerial implications for the studied market (Serbia) are also provided within the paper.

“…Nevertheless, the targeted resulting paradigm must be feasible and easy to handle -for students, start-up founders, scientists, practitioners, politicians, etc. Therefore, publicly available documents, data from reference cases (e.g., [33], [34], [35], etc., as well as big data (e.g., from private/public Statistics' Administration Offices), sociological/psychological, education, security perception related as well as meta research projects, case studies, concrete crises situation reports, conference proceedings, etc. were explored.…”

This research's overarching topic is the analysis of present and future crises and/or challenges traced back to the gap between the United Nation (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and sectors, which are predicted to growth in contradictory unsustainable ways. Its aim is the development of common, globally applicable guidelines based on seven stakeholder analyses tools. These tools are condensed to the so-called "7S(-stakeholder) Paradigm"referring to Public Stakeholder Analysis (i.e., Policy Field Analysis and Crises Communication/Management), Stakeholder Identification, Stakeholder Prioritisation, Stakeholder Interest Analysis, Stakeholder Response Strategies, Stakeholder Performance Gaps, and Stakeholder Communication Strategies. Private, public as well as the third sector, related environmental, political, socio-economic, and educational challenges might manifest by their clash with the UN SDGs and the public sector's implementation responsibility. The result are example guidelines (i.e., 7S Paradigm) that might act as "decision-trees" -adaptable to different conflictual situations. Thus, potential initial points, appropriate stakeholder communication strategies, etc., might be an advantage. In addition, the herein presented paradigm might be suitable to cover, accompany, and underpin important points, which raise as soon as the public sector must become decisive. The World Economic Forum 2019's hottest-discussed issues (regarding crises related to e.g., politics, polity, policies) were a clear-cut proof of the claim.rules (e.g., the herein developed framework) for not being disoriented in the case of crisis. On the contrary, by doing so, any issue could be identified, classified, resulting in appropriate communication strategies.These guidelines are the nexus of seven stakeholder tools -chosen from many options suitable to cover the specific aspect -condensed to the socalled "7S Paradigm". "7S" is referring to different aspects of stakeholder theory, management, communication, about processes, their sequence, and execution, so to manifest a self-and frame-analyses in order to come up with the most effective crisis communication, worst, common and/or best-case management strategies. Thus, due to the aggregation, or to be precise, condensation of these instruments it might have the power, legitimacy to help emerge future pathways for many sectors' improvement regarding sustainability.In the following, Section 2 is dedicated: 1) to theories regarding current crises typology systems; 2) crisis communication, and their management. Further, 3) it presents an overview over potential stakeholder theories/instruments, their sequence, and execution that might be appropriate to meet this research's target. The result, particularly, the selection of suitable tools and their melt-down to the 7S Paradigm is presented in Section 4 following the applied methodology (Section

This study investigates the residents' attitudes to tourism as a driver of regional development and the impact of digital technologies on these perceptions. This work considers a 'lagging behind' region of the EU and employs a generalised ordered logit regression. The main findings suggest that the positive attitude is affected by the digital technology use, education, non-job variables and touristic products such as landscape, food and wine and events. As a result, the digital technology and the enhancement of touristic products may serve as important factors for 'lagging behind' regions to meet a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
