This paper examines the transformation of the territorial structure of tourism in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The spatial and temporal organisation of tourism in these countries has undergone significant changes since they became independent and joined the EU. These changes have affected the geography of tourist flows and destinations of interest. This study aims to define the geographical and economic peculiarities of the development of tourism in the Baltic States and to identify the central, peripheral and semi-peripheral regions. Elements of the centre-periphery structure were identified through cluster analysis covering the period 2009—2019. Eleven indicators were used to determine the level of socio-economic development, the state of inbound and domestic tourism and the degree of transport infrastructure development. The results of the study suggest that there have been progressive changes in the territorial structure of tourism in the Baltic States. The main centres of attraction are the capitals and their adjacent territories. Horizontal contacts with more developed regions of the EU states and vertical interaction with other regions of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have a significant impact on the development of tourism activities. Central regions are dominant in terms of attracting tourist flows. This is characteristic of a highly polarized tourism structure. However, many semi-peripheral and peripheral regions have lately improved their position, being integrated into national and cross-border tourism routes and increasing outreach in the tourism market.

The International Workshop Tourism and Hospitality Management (IWTHM2021) is an international scientific meeting, that gathers together researchers from around the world, with the purpose of sharing knowledge in the topic of Tourism and Hospitality Management. Moreover, this intensive, diversified and original event intends to be a reference in the scientific community evolving Tourism and Hospitality Management.We are in the third edition, and due to the success of the previous two editions, the Organization Committee decided to continue the discussion of current topics on tourism and hospitality.After a particularly atypical year, in which restrictions were placed on people's mobility, with the aim of limiting the spread of COVID-19, the impacts on the tourism sector are more than many. The OECD forecasts, released in the report "Tourism Policy Responses to the coronavirus (COVID-19)", of June 2, 2020, point not only to a 60% to 80% drop in international tourism, but also to a drop in local tourism, since it is estimated that approximately half of the world population has been or is still subject to containment measures. However, it is expected that local tourism will recover more quickly and can serve as a support, considering that the local tourism economy represents about 75% of the total tourism economy in OECD countries.Considering the great challenges currently facing both national and international tourism, ISAG -European Business School and the Research Center in Business Sciences and Tourism (CICET -FCVC) understand that this is the right time to organize the third edition of the Tourism and Hospitality Management Workshop, aiming at sharing knowledge in scientific fields of tourism and hospitality among the various participants and researchers. Thus, the IWTHM2021 Organizing Committee invited researchers from all around the world to submit their work, under the form of abstracts, extended abstracts and full papers. All manuscripts went through a doubleblind peer-review process in order to be selected to presentation at the Workshop.

Politics of street names and the reinvention of local heritage in the contested urban space of Oradea

Ethnically and culturally diverse settlements in Central and Eastern Europe often witness local power-struggles along ethnic/linguistic boundaries that may centre on the visibility of ethnic groups and minority languages in public space (Kettley, C. 2003;Brubaker, R. et al. 2006;Murzyn, M.A. 2008;Dragoman, D. 2011;Csernicskó, I. and Máté, R. 2017). The majority ethnic group, as the possessor of power is in a more favourable position to control and/or limit the access of minorities to be visually present in the cityscape. The aim of this paper is to show (1) how the public space is re-structured and ethnicised by politics and practices of street naming; and (2) how the contestation over public space contributes to the evolvement of alternative city-text. The research was carried out in Oradea/Nagyvárad, a multi-ethnic town in the Romanian-Hungarian border zone. After describing the spatial features and effects of contestation over street names, based on the analysis of press, interviews and survey data the research shows how the local political deal, the evolved individual/minority coping strategies, and the recent interest in tourism development have contributed to the reinvention of local heritage. Finally, looking at the intensified interest towards local heritage (on behalf of both local government and minority politicians) the question arises: whether heritage might enhance the dissolution of the ongoing conflict centred on street names?
