“…This study analyses for the first time the offshoring indices and the trend observed in tourism services based on I/O Data (Spanish national accounts) during the expansive period 2000-2007. There is a distinction between offshoring associated with international fragmentation of production and offshoring through the transition from Ukrainian to foreign suppliers. The results indicate the movement of intermediate services to foreign countries in certain tourism sub-sectors (including travel agencies and air and sea transport), which implies both international fragmentation of production and replacement of the source of supply (Fuster et al, 2018).…”

In the context of globalisation, the development of tourism in Ukraine requires the restoration of tourism activities, integration with world leaders in the tourism sector, the use of global experience to meet consumer demand, information about existing opportunities of the tourism business, successes and benefits. Therefore, the issue of studying the history, theory, and prospects of tourism development is an urgent problem for the tourism industry. The purpose of the study is to investigate the history, theory, and prospects of tourism development in Ukraine and the world in the context of globalisation. In the process of writing the paper, general scientific methods of knowledge were used. The following methods were used: analysis and synthesis, classification and systematisation of data. In the course of the study, a model of the impact of tourism on the economy in the context of globalisation was presented. The number of citizens from different countries of the world who most often visited Ukraine is analysed. It was determined that the world is currently suffering from a financial crisis that has affected all sectors of the economy. However, the impact of crises in various spheres of economic activity in separate countries is different. As a result, experts' expectations regarding the prospects for the development of the tourism industry in Ukraine and abroad differ. The practical value of this study is conditioned by the fact that it provides information that can be useful both in a theoretical and practical sense for researchers and practitioners of the tourism sector.

“…Following the methodology initially proposed by Hanson (1996, 1999), in order to measure the level of offshoring, an indicator is defined as the proportion of imported inputs (II) over total inputs, both domestic and imported (TI). In subsequent studies, the indicator used to measure offshoring is defined as the proportion of imported inputs (II) over the value of production (Y) (Campa and Goldberg, 1997;Díaz Mora et al, 2007;Cadarso et al, 2012;Michel and Rycx, 2012;Castellani et al, 2013;Fuster et al, 2018Fuster et al, , 2019.…”

“…Analogically, we can analyse whether reshoring is the result of a replacement of foreign suppliers with domestic suppliers or with in-house production within the company. This breakdown of the index has been used to analyse the phenomenon of offshoring (Díaz Mora et al, 2007;Castellani et al, 2010;Martínez-Mora, 2013 andFuster et al 2018) and reshoring (Fuster et al, 2020) but it has not yet been used to analyse the phenomenon of reshoring of services for the tourism sector.…”

“…Some studies have been carried out for different tourism sub-sectors such as the hotel industry (Espino-Rodríguez and Chun-Lai, 2014;Espino-Rodríguez et al, 2017), the air transport sector (Rieple and Helm, 2008;Hsu and Liou, 2013) and medical tourism (Bies and Zacharia, 2007;York, 2008). And one study has been conducted for the whole of the tourism sector (Fuster et al, 2018), in which the importance of these strategies in some tourism subsectors is highlighted.…”

Coinciding with the onset of the economic crisis in 2007, a reshoring process, consisting in the return to the home country of part or all of the activities previously offshored abroad can be observed in all advanced economies. This study aims to analyse for first time whether this strategy has affected the tourism sector. The results show that between 2007 and 2010 a major reshoring process took place in the tourism sub-sectors, while in 2015, the levels of offshoring recovered slightly but did not compensate the previous strong decline. This reshoring strategy in tourism has basically been carried out through a replacement of foreign suppliers with national suppliers.

“…This phenomenon has been studied for goods and for certain service activities but has remained largely unnoticed in tourism studies. The paper by Fuster et al (2018) provides insights regarding the trends in offshoring in the service sector in Spain over the 2000–2007 period, with a particular focus on tourism-related activities. The authors explain how offshoring can be measured and monitored at the macro level through the use of various indices based on data coming from Input–Output tables.…”

Advances in tourism economics: The sixth IATE (International Association for Tourism Economics) Conference

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bologna, an interdepartmental research centre aimed at fostering advanced scientific research and professional training in the tourism field. Overall, the Conference received 199 submissions. Each submission was reviewed by 2 anonymous referees and the scientific committee decided to accept 171 papers. Net of withdrawn papers and of authors who could not attend the conference, 142 papers were presented. After the Conference, 19 papers were submitted to this special issue and the six selected papers are those that survived Tourism Economics journal's rigorous peer review process and whose authors were persistent and accommodated the requirements for revisions to the original submissions. 1 The selection of the articles was largely influenced by the novelty of their approach and by the contribution to the economics of tourism's literature. They are representative of the important effort that the IATE, the journal Tourism Economics, and the whole community of economists of tourism are undertaking to increase the quality of research in this field of study. Not only the Conference witnessed an increase in the number of submitted papers with respect to previous editions, but also a visible improvement in the scientific approach, in the applied methodologies, in the relevance for the whole economic discipline, and in the variety of topics covered. Several sessions on topics such as tourism demand in destinations, climate change, economic growth, pricing strategies, tourism modelling and forecast, big data in tourism, sharing economy, experiential tourism, the economic impact of tourism, innovation, competitiveness, economic modelling, sustainability, tourism development and poverty tackling, tourism policy and taxation, labour market and the human capital were organised within the Conference.
