Abstract:The current importance of tourism leads us to analyze the extent to which the receipts from international tourism, and tourism in general, influence the capacity of European countries to reduce the development gaps of this sector in the European context and the extent to which the economic growth is sensitive to changes in tourist arrivals, tourism receipts and expenditures. Studying the GDP per capita and the receipts from international tourism for the period 1995-2017, we find that the European tourism has a… Show more
“…The impact of tourism can be measured by means of tourism receipts, but tourism expenditures [ 32 , 33 ] and the number of arrivals [ 4 ] are equally important. Analyzing how sustainable tourism helps reduce inequalities between European states, Haller (2021) [ 34 ] showed that international tourism expenditures, receipts and, to a lesser extent, tourist arrivals contribute to narrowing development gaps, emphasizing the importance of sustainable tourism.…”
The three states that border the Black Sea benefit from an important potential for tourism and consider the development of this sector to be a major objective. Nonetheless, they face environmental risks. Tourism does not have a neutral impact on the ecosystem. We evaluated tourism sustainability for three states bordering the Black Sea, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey. We used a longitudinal data analysis applied to five variables for the period between 2005 and 2020. The data were taken from the World Bank website. The results show that tourism receipts significantly influence the environment. For all three countries, the total receipts from international tourism are unsustainable, while the receipts for travel items are sustainable. Sustainability factors are different for each country. The international tourism expenditures for Bulgaria, the total receipts for Romania and the receipts for travel items for Turkey are sustainable. In Bulgaria, the receipts from international tourism contribute to higher greenhouse gas emissions, i.e., negative environmental impact. In Romania and Turkey, the number of arrivals has the same impact. No sustainable tourism model could be identified for the three countries. Tourism activity was found to be sustainable only due to the receipts for travel items, that is, indirectly, from tourism-related activities.

“…The paper also compared the market efficiency status and January effect status between the two markets (emerging and industrial markets). A country is said to have an emerging market if it is improving its economy to become more advanced [ 30 ]. An industrial market is that of a country with matured economy and evenly distributed economic level [ 31 ].…”
Travel has become a way of life for more and more people. The rapid development of technologies such as the Internet and 5G brings convenience to life, so recording one’s travel through social media has become the main way of sharing. Based on the classification of UGC pictures by computer program, this paper studies the perception of tourist destination image by inbound tourists from different regions so as to find the factors that potentially affect tourists’ decision-making. This study collects a large number of UGC pictures and classifies them according to computer programs. It conducts UGC data picture research through two different aspects of cognitive image and emotional image and finally analyzes the specific image perception of Shanghai tourism. The research results show that, in the analysis of specific inbound tourists’ perception of tourist destination image, in the eyes of Western inbound tourists, Shanghai is a very modern cultural city with very distinctive architectural features; inbound tourists from East Asia are more and more interested in the cultural landscape and natural scenery of Shanghai. In the eyes of inbound tourists from East Asia, Shanghai is a city full of vitality. Among them, the Huangpu River is the place that receives the most tourists. 21.5% of inbound tourists will visit, and 13.7% of inbound tourists choose to visit Lujiazui.
