“…[37][38]. The missing link also shapes existing scholarly and practical contributions regarding CCIs for sustainability, which are still to a high extent limited and burgeoning [67][68][69][70][71][72]. Most of the existing entries avoid the role of culture, instead focusing on overall CCIs and their intervention in sustainable development [73,74].…”

Sustainable tourism is one of the key sectors in the South Baltic Sea Region (SBSR), which belongs to the role model for sustainability—the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). In this context, resilience, recovery and sustainability become key common threads calling for new approaches mitigating negative impacts, upscaling resilience capacity and boosting recovery in the post-pandemic era. The present work aims at revealing conceptual and practical pathways for policy makers and businesses in revitalizing sustainable tourism in the region by emphasizing cultural and creative industries (CCIs) as strong contributors to sustainable development and economic ecosystems, such as tourism. Tourism is also one of the key thematic areas of the smart specialization strategies (S3) in the SBSR. However, there is almost no link between CCIs’ potential for sustainable and resilient tourism and their contribution to the co-design and co-creation of S3. CCIs are rather absent agents in quadruple helix networks supporting S3 policy implementation. The literature on this topic is still premature, and represents a clear gap in knowledge. By virtue of these circumstances, the present research investigates how CCIs contribute and reveal new linkages between local assets, potential markets and societal challenges by engaging them as proven sustainable innovation and transition brokers in transnational quadruple helix partnerships following S3 policies in accordance with the sustainable development goals (SDGs), thus supporting sustainable and resilient tourism. Moreover, this paper aims at advocating for development of rural and peripheral regions, thus reducing the so-called “rural marginalization”. In addition, this paper also supports ongoing recent discussions on related vs. unrelated diversification policy within the S3 realm.

“…It is also where there are many business and non-business networks that direct the destination's development [15]. The destination itself is a combination of various components of tourism products and services, offering an integrated experience to visitors [16,17]. The network could be as a destination [18,19].…”

This study highlights the preferences and motivations of tourists for the choice of destinations to visit. Natural, cultural, gastronomic attractions, places of consumption, and identity/immaterial motivations are examined through social network analysis and validated through the multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). The study explores the relational variables that can explain the attractiveness of the places and the propensity to visit them. To identify the visitor profiles and the reasons behind their choices, a sample survey was carried out in Lipari, in the Aeolian Islands, interviewing tourists, residents, and people present on the island for work reasons. From the results obtained, profiles emerged with very different characteristics. They vary among those who are attentive to the identity and sustainability of the territory and appreciate the beauty of the sea to others who are attracted mainly for places of consumption and gastronomy, and finally, to people who are indifferent to the attractiveness of the place. This study contributes to the knowledge of the tourist understanding of fragile places with a strong tourist attraction and provides indications for better use of the resources present, oriented towards eco-sustainable hospitality systems and the environment. The study discusses the implications of its findings for future research and provides insights for planning tourism services.

“…The first is adapting existing creative personality measures, which could involve translating and validating existing scales or modifying them to suit cultural context better (Meier et al, 2021;Tan, 2021). Second, exploring cultural factors that influence creative personality: The research examines the relationship between cultural values, beliefs, and practices and creative personality traits (Cheung, 2018;Skoglund, 2019). The last is developing new measures of creative personality: It could develop new creative personality measures specifically tailored to the Indonesian context.…”

Understanding the creative personality of students has significant implications for their future success and well-being. The purpose of this study was to describe the development of the Creative Personality Scale in secondary school students. Data were collected from 275 students in junior and senior high schools. The research process was carried out in five stages in order to obtain a measure of creative personality that meets the requirements of validity and reliability. The data were analyzed through content validity and construct validity tests. The results of the validity test of the creative personality scale showed two important findings. First, the results of the content validity test found 24 valid items with an alpha Cronbach value of .898. Secondly, the results of the construct validity test showed that not all the modeling criteria could be met. The implications of the findings are that the development of the Creative Personality Scale can make a significant contribution to the field of creativity research and provide a valuable tool for researchers, educators ,and practitioners to better understand and promote creativity in secondary school students. Pemahaman terhadap kepribadian kreatif pada siswa memiliki implikasi yang signifikan terhadap kesuksesan dan kesejahteraan mereka di masa depan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan pengembangan Skala Kepribadian Kreatif pada siswa sekolah menengah. Pengujian data dilakukan pada 275 siswa di sekolah menengah pertama dan menengah atas. Proses penelitian dilakukan melalui lima tahapan untuk mendapatkan alat ukur kepribadian kreatif yang memenuhi syarat validitas dan reliabilitas. Data dianalisis melalui pengujian validitas isi dan validitas konstruk. Hasil uji validitas skala kepribadian kreatif menunjukkan adanya dua temuan penting. Pertama, hasil pengujian validitas isi menemukan adanya 24 item valid, dengan nilai Alpha Cronbach .898. Kedua, hasil pengujian validitas konstruk menemukan tidak semua kriteria pemodelan dapat terpenuhi. Implikasi temuan menyatakan bahwa pengembangan skala kepribadian kreatif dapat memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan terhadap bidang penelitian kreativitas dan menyediakan alat yang berharga bagi para peneliti, pendidik, dan praktisi untuk lebih memahami dan menumbuhkan kreativitas pada siswa di sekolah menengah.
