“…According to the World Tourism Organization, international tourism recorded its worst year ever; international tourism declined by 74% from almost 1.5 billion arrivals in 2020 to around 381 million in 2019, reaching its lowest level. It is expected to take 2.5 to 4 years for international tourism to return to 2019 levels [24].…”

Nearly 20 years after the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) epidemic, we are facing another COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the aim of our study was to analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism behaviour of international students in Poland. We paid attention to the overall impact of the pandemic on life, travel, choice of tourist destination, tourism activity, ecotourism preference, and health and safety issues. We formulated two research questions: What areas of international student tourism behaviour were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic? What differences in travel behaviour occurred between international students from Europe and Asia? Participants were recruited from universities located in Warsaw between June and September 2020. A total of 806 questionnaires were collected, 87 of which were eliminated due to non-response. The research sample consisted of 719 people. Six factors were identified in the survey results: tourism inclination, impact on tourist destination, hygiene and accommodation, impact on life, impact on tourism, and mode of tourism. Impact on life and impact on tourism were attributed to the general impact dimension; tourism inclination and mode of tourism can be summarized as attitude and preference. Food and accommodation were assigned to hygiene and safety dimensions. In almost all aspects, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s lives was greater for Asian respondents. Asian respondents were more likely to say that they would avoid COVID-19-affected areas when choosing tourist destinations in the future, and avoid travelling to crowded large cities after COVID-19 ended. European survey participants’ responses were more moderate.

“…Fortunately, I don't just have a contract with a villa, if for example that happens, I can stop my business now." (Gilang) Intentional analysis from noesis shows that Budi, Dedi, Gilang and Hana are ready because they have prepared for the worst that could happen to their family finances (Chariri, 2009;Creswell, 2012;Eldista et al, 2020;Fu et al, 2020). This is evidenced by the preparations of Budi and Hana who have savings funds to survive, Gilang who sold investments before entering the COVID-19 pandemic and Gilang who did not only focus on one contract on the business he owned.…”

The purpose of this research is to find out the role of household accounting in financial management and how the awareness, knowledge and readiness of a family in facing the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. This study uses a phenomenological approach to describe phenomena in the form of the same life experiences experienced by a number of people regarding the application of household accounting during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The themes found show that the application of household accounting has maximum benefits if it is applied in managing family finances before the COVID-19 pandemic occurs. If the application of household accounting is done well, it will avoid the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Practically, the application of household accounting is something that must be considered and applied before and during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. This research provides an overview of howthe role of household accounting if it was implemented before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred and what benefits would a family receive if implementing household accounting before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…People's attention to official statistics increased, revealing the importance of understanding statistical concepts and terminology, not only for the professionals but also for society. National and international statistical systems have stepped up to address the urgent need for good data, contributing to reduce the "pandemics of fear", misinformation and "fake news" which erode the trust in public institutions and democratic systems [22].…”

The ability to incorporate new and Big Data sources and to benefit from emerging technologies such as Web Technologies, Remote Data Collection methods, User Experience Platforms, and Trusted Smart Statistics will become increasingly important in producing and disseminating official statistics. The skills and competencies required to automate, analyse, and optimize such complex systems are often not part of the traditional skill set of most National Statistical Offices. The adoption of these technologies requires new knowledge, methodologies and the upgrading of the quality assurance framework, technology, security, privacy, and legal matters. However, there are methodological challenges and discussions among scholars about the diverse methodical confinement and the wide array of skills and competencies considered relevant for those working with big data at NSOs. This paper develops a Data Science Model for Official Statistics (DSMOS), graphically summarizing the role of data science in statistical business processes. The model combines data science, existing scientific paradigms, and trusted smart statistics, and develops around a restricted number of constructs. We considered a combination of statistical engineering, data engineering, data analysis, software engineering and soft skills such as statistical thinking, statistical literacy and specific knowledge of official statistics and dissemination of official statistics products as key requirements of data science in official statistics. We then analyse and discuss the educational requirements of the proposed model, clarifying their contribution, interactions, and current and future importance in official statistics. The DSMOS was validated through a quantitative method, using a survey addressed to experts working at the European statistical systems. The empirical results show that the core competencies considered relevant for the DSMOS include acquisition and processing capabilities related to Statistics, high-frequency data, spatial data, Big Data, and microdata/nano-data, in addition to problem-solving skills, Spatio-temporal modelling, machine learning, programming with R and SAS software, Data visualisation using novel technologies, Data and statistical literacy, Ethics in Official Statistics, New data methodologies, New data quality tools, standards and frameworks for official statistics. Some disadvantages and vulnerabilities are also addressed in the paper.
