“…Building on such studies, the present research examined the MLT aspect of the migration-tourism relationship. The results were similar to those of studies examining the tourism-migration relationship in terms of migration-led tourism (Ahmed et al, 2020;Çelik U guz, 2012;Leitão and Shahbaz, 2012;Santana-Gallego and Paniagua, 2020). It can be said that the results obtained in this research will contribute to the migration-led tourism literature.…”

“…The results of the research show that migration has a positive and strong effect on tourism demand. Ahmed et al (2020) focused on Morocco in a study examining migration and tourism via immigrants' countries of origin. The results of the research show that the migration flow to Morocco between 2000 and 2014 has a positive effect on the tourism flow.…”

PurposeAlthough it is assumed that migration and tourism directly affect each other, neither has received enough attention in the literature. Moreover, the relationship between them remains unclear. The UNWTO interprets said relationship in two ways: tourism-led migration (TLM) and migration-led tourism (MLT). The latter is crucial for the marketing of tourism. This study aims to clarify the migration-tourism relationship in ways the relevant literature has inadequately addressed and to evaluate the significance of MLT for Turkey's tourism marketing.Design/methodology/approachThe study was carried out with a qualitative research design. Document scanning was used to collect data. A time series analysis was performed based on secondary data. Vector autoregressive models (VARs), which test the relationship between two or more variables, were preferred in the analysis selection. The empirical evidence depends on annual data of German tourists visiting Turkey and persons admitted to Germany from 2006 to 2019.FindingsThe findings of the study revealed a significant short-term relationship between those immigrating to Germany and tourists visiting Turkey.Practical implicationsThe research shows that migration is a factor in the purchasing behavior of touristic products. In this respect, the practical conclusion of the study reveals that it may be beneficial for national tourism marketers in these countries to promote touristic products through citizens who have migrated abroad.Originality/valueIn the relevant literature, the relationship between tourism and migration (RTM) has been limitedly examined from an MLT perspective. In this respect, the subject has not been examined in detail in many respects (distribution by years, various sampling and data collection technique, etc.). The present research helps fill this literature gap by addressing the subject directly.

Novel coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) and resulting lockdowns have contributed to major retail operational disturbances around the globe, forcing retail organizations to manage their operations effectively. The impact can be measured as a black swan event (BSE). Therefore, to understand its impact on retail operations and enhance operational performance, the study attempts to evaluate retail operations and develop a decision‐making model for disruptive events in Morocco. The study develops a three‐phase evaluation approach. The approach involves fuzzy logic ( to measure the current performance of retail operations ), graph theory ( to develop an exit strategy for retail operations based on different scenarios ), and ANN and random forest‐based prediction model with K‐cross validation ( to predict customer retention for retail operations ). This methodology is preferred to develop a unique decision‐making model for BSE. From the analysis, the current retail performance index has been computed as “Average” level and the graph‐theoretic approach highlighted the critical attributes of retail operations. Further, the study identified triggering attributes for customer retention using machine learning‐based prediction models (MLBPM) and develops a contactless payment system for customers' safety and hygiene. The framework can be used on a periodic basis to help retail managers to improve their operational performance level for disruptive events.

“…Romania is one of the countries that is facing a sharp decline in its population (Dobos, 2020;Mirela, Nicu & Oana-Valentina, 2016). The size of the drop is unexpectedly high, and it is especially the contribution that has had external migration, highlighted the demographic decline, amplifying an imbalance, particularly in light of the age structure of the population as present in other countries (Ahmed, Djelti & Guellil, 2020;Karaca, Uzun, Metin, Sermin & Aral, 2020). Resident population of school age from 0 to 23 years represent the main segment of children and young people enrolled in the education system, starting with primary school up to university, doctoral and postdoctoral programs.…”

The evolution of demographic phenomena of the last two decades is characterised by the need to maintain low fertility, the slight increase in life expectancy at birth, high percentage of infant mortality and negative balance of external migration, all of which have led to the decrease in the population of our country Romania. Between the two censuses (2002 and 2011), Romania’s stable population decreased by 1.6 million. The population of students in all levels of the educational system has been reduced as a result. This paper analyses the main demographic issues facing Romania, its effect on the current school population and its long-term perspective. Using quantitative data that were derived from certified institutions and national documents, this study made a review of the literature of student population between the years 2002 and 2011 and a forecast for the following decades. One of the findings is that there is an increase in the ageing population. Recommendations are made at the end of the study. Keywords: Demography, education, school age.
