“…(Cheng et al, 2020). Challenges for local and central authorities were also mentioned, through the disruption of the traditional tourism industry, taxation and discrimination, but also regulatory issues (Guttentag, 2015;Toca, 2013). Statistics on the sharing economy show that it has had the biggest impact on the tourism industry.…”

Globalization, the rise of the internet and the online market, as well as the expansion of mobility, have contributed to the exponential growth of tourism, and Europe can claim global supremacy when it comes to international tourism. The rate of growth in the number of tourists has accelerated over the last ten years thanks to the flexibility of travelling modalities, the openness to tourism of many countries and, last but not least, the emergence of collaborative tourism, which is a worthwhile alternative to classic tourism. The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which broke out in February 2020, has had a disastrous impact on the entire tourism industry. Due to this pandemic, domestic and international travel has been disrupted enough to have an immediate and fundamental impact on tourism and all related activities. The pandemic has changed the way people manifest themselves and paved the way for trends such as contactless technology, working from home, high standards of hygiene, domestic travel, and holidays with a small number of people. As a result, the trends already existing in the market before the outbreak of the pandemic, which were reshaping the idea of tourism, have been reinforced even more now. These include digitalization, durable and sustainable consumption, a growing demand for travel booked through platforms and, last but not least, the desire for personalized and original experiences. In this paper we aim to highlight the dimension of the Airbnb, one of the most successful sharing economy platforms, before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting in what manner the advances of the digital world have interacted with the challenges, restrictions and opportunities of the recent pandemic, economic and political crises.

“…Firstly, it has a significant population identifying as national minorities on both sides of the border (Waterbury 2017). Secondly, the cross-border cooperation at this borderland has already some history, but it is not as developed as in western states where the role of minorities might be more difficult to unravel (Toca 2012). The Romanian-Hungarian border cooperation, initiated in 1996 and continuing uninterrupted, initially marked a significant shift from historical tension to cooperation between the two nations.…”

Cross-border cooperation within the European Union is a cornerstone of regional integration, fostering collaboration and solidarity among Member States. This article explores the role of national minorities, specifically in the Romanian-Hungarian border region, as contributors to the territorial impact and sustainability of cross-border projects. While existing research highlights their potential as bridge builders, this study critically assesses the tools used for measuring impact and sustainability in cross-border initiatives, uncovering a gap in acknowledging the role of national minorities. Through a case study of Romanian-Hungarian INTERREG projects between 2007-2020, this article sheds light on the nuanced relationship between national minorities and cross-border engagement. It underscores the need for further research, policy considerations, and emphasises that by harnessing the bridge-building potential of national minorities, they could be one of the guarantees for the cross-border projects’ enduring results as well as collaboration, strengthening regional unity and prosperity in the European Union.

“…Furthermore, it is also important to shed light on the topic through systematic case-studies focusing on different border sections. On the Hungarian-Romanian border there are already important materials published (such as Țoca et al, 2021;Jaschitz, 2020), however, the role of EGTCs and Euroregions in economic crossborder cooperation across this border section during the previous two financial cycles (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020) has not yet been uncovered despite of the importance of the subject.…”

Cross-border cooperation stands in the heart of the European Union as border regions are often regarded as the laboratories of the EU. This necessitates a proper understanding of the primary tools – the Euroregions and the EGTCs – used for supporting cross-border cooperation. This article focuses on the exploration of the roles these structures play in economic cross-border cooperation on the Hungarian-Romanian border section between 2007 and 2020 through analysing the available literature and conducting semi-structured interviews. The research shows that the Euroregions created in the 1990s and 2000s opened the way for the more institutionalised, legally more powerful tool of EGTCs while their abilities to be a direct driver of economic cross-border cooperation seems to somewhat diminished. At the same time the analysed EGTCs also struggle to fulfil the expectations attached to their capacity of improving cross-border economic development on the Hungarian-Romanian border section as their activities are either preparatory, sporadic or small-scaled.
