The 2030 Agenda highlights the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which can be achieved through tourism, particularly in its most sustainable form, such as ecotourism. Ecotourism provides an ideal platform for experimenting with new lifestyles oriented towards sustainability and well-being. Additionally, ecotourism emphasizes territorial identities, particularly through the promotion of food and wine, which can contribute to the creation of sustainable tourism areas. Food quality production serves as evidence of the attention paid by producers to the sustainability of territories and a lifestyle that prioritizes well-being. European citizens are increasingly recognizing the environment as a resource for good living. In Italy, agritourism, which includes activities offered by 25 certified quality agricultural producers, is becoming increasingly popular among tourists. Within this context, sustainability can be experienced through tourism, which offers an opportunity to live differently. This paper examines two Italian regions (Tuscany and Apulia) where farmhouse, food and tourism (FFST) areas have been successfully implemented as a form of sustainable tourism. The study demonstrates that FFST areas can be defined using spatial analysis, and then can become a model for sustainable tourism development. In conclusion, environmental sustainability holds ethical significance and can be achieved through tourism, specifically through ecotourism and FFST areas, which enable tourists to experience sustainable lifestyles while emphasizing territorial identities.\u0000","PeriodicalId":125153,"journal":{"name":"National Accounting Review","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128423304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The south east grows more quickly than the north west for a period of time, after which there is a switch in rank order. It is argued that changes in activity is associated with changing credit conditions to which the south east is more sensitive. Furthermore, it is proposed that activity features a type of participant induced on to the market by favourable price changes and credit conditions. It is argued that the reduced activity associated with 'missing mortgage movers' post-2007 reflects the lack of mortgage mover participation, which could have negative consequences for the macroeconomy.\u0000","PeriodicalId":125153,"journal":{"name":"National Accounting Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132409519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, scholars studied many factors influencing investment (cost of interest rate, labor productivity, GDP growth, financial firm's performance). At present, the existing body of literature demonstrates the shift of factors related to territorial investment attractiveness. Besides economic dimension, the ecological and social matters take key stages (the ESG concept and the triple bottom line concept). Our study is aimed at exploring the relationship between investment at municipal level and ecological factors, considering regional specifics and settlement patterns in Russia. We applied hierarchical (multilevel) modeling with spatial effects to accomplish a twofold goal: to estimate what share of investment variance attributed to municipal and regional scale; to distinguish between spatial error at regional level and influence of average investment in neighboring municipalities at municipal level. Our findings show that 32% total investment variance accounted for regional scale; investment is positively associated with population, production per capita and the ratio of circulating water and sequentially used water to used fresh water. The results of this paper could be useful in developing policy for attracting investment at regional and municipal levels.

To get the goal, we use panel data from 1997 to 2019 concerning the GDP and overnight stays in each Italian region. We performed the Granger causality test on the whole panel and analyzed a panelvar model. In the second step, after having established the relationship between the two variables of interest, we extended our analysis to investigate—throughout the estimate of the employment intensity of growth and the impact of GDP growth on employment, at both aggregate and disaggregate level.

The analysis evaluates the employment impact of the perceived crowding by using data resulting from a survey conducted in the Asinara National Park. In this respect, a macroeconomic analysis is presented by using a SAM scheme developed at a local level, based on four municipalities representing a potential gravitational area of tourists visiting the Asinara National Park.

Taking 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in Chinese mainland from 2005 to 2019 as the research objects, this paper adopts panel OLS and panel Tobit estimation to study the overall impact of land transfer on land use efficiency. In addition, this paper explores the heterogeneous impact of land transfer on land use efficiency through cluster analysis and panel regression. Finally, this paper further analyzes the influence mechanism of land transfer on land use efficiency through industrial structure and labor productivity. The following conclusions are drawn. Firstly, land transfer significantly promotes the improvement of provincial rural land use efficiency. Secondly, the land use efficiency of various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in Chinese mainland has the characteristics of periodic changes. From the perspective of time and space, there are large differences in the land use efficiency of various provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, and there are regional heterogeneity effects of land transfer on provincial rural land use efficiency.
