This paper aims to define a system dynamics model of tourism destination as a complex system and to identify future behaviour of the system after the restart of tourism in the post-covid-19 era. The main methodological approaches were system dynamics and simulation modelling. The case of a complex tourism system in the South Bohemia Region, the Czech Republic, in the form of a Stocks and Flows Diagram (sfd) is presented in this paper, focusing on the business activities at this tourism destination. The simulation results show the future behaviours of the system in various scenarios and compare the development of several economic indicators. Three possible future scenarios of a restart of the hospitality and tourism industry are compared with the theoretical situation without covid-19 disease. The proposed system dynamics model contributes to the current theory of tourism destination management systems and can be used practically by destination managers for destination planning and to formulate destination strategies.","PeriodicalId":37187,"journal":{"name":"Academica Turistica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79809470","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}

Research of beliefs and attitudes of tourist managers is a key problem of this research. Beliefs and attitudes of tourist managers are affected by different factors such as: sociodemographic characteristics, especially gender; level of education; length of service in the tourism sector; membership in ecological ngos; and beliefs and attitudes about climate change. To investigate managers’ opinions, the authors created a survey which focused on all managers who manage categorized facilities by type in the Republic of Croatia. The results have shown significant differences in the beliefs and attitudes about the interinfluence of climate change and tourist accommodation. Managers who are female, who have completed tertiary education, who are members of ecological ngos and who consider themselves activists, and those who have more years of work experience, showed stronger pro-environmental attitudes and higher levels of ecological awareness.

The study used a quantitative research technique, and the questionnaire was developed with the help of a thorough literature review, content analysis, and pilot study. A total of 221 responses were collected from the managers and executives of 88 classified hotels in Punjab. The 202 usable responses were analysed by descriptive analysis and Kendall’s W test. The results indicated that initial implementation cost, high cost of certification, complicated certification process, lack of awareness of the concept, weak legislation, change of routines and management style, existing non-supportive structure, and low top-management commitment significantly affect the adoption and implementation of esps. Kendall’s W test found a statistically significant agreement among the respondents. This study recommended some practical implications to overcome the barriers to esps, such as hotel companies starting with small initiatives that require low initial investment, hotels lobbying with regional hotel associations and government to get financial support, disseminating environmental communications to employees, firm environmental monitoring methods and reward schemes by the government. This study is conducted in a small geographical area that is otherwise a well-known tourist destination worldwide and results are consistent with the findings of previous studies that were conducted globally. Future studies are suggested in larger geographical areas with a comparison of two or more states.

Residents’ quality of life is an essential aspect of sustainable tourism development and offers an attractive destination attribute for marketing. Research suggests that too much interaction with tourism may reduce hosts’ quality of life. Low quality of life, typically demonstrated with a low level of satisfaction with life and poor emotional wellbeing, leads to development of antitourism beliefs and reduces residents’ support for tourism. This may impede local policy makers and the tourism industry from developing tourism. High tourism may create income but may also induce public expenses on the account of social costs of tourism. The present study investigates the association of hosts’ satisfaction with life with objective (level of tourism development) and subjective (perceived interaction with tourists) levels of tourism development. Results indicate that neither the level of tourism development nor interactions with tourists predict hosts’ satisfaction with life and their emotional wellbeing. These findings challenge the existing prevailing assumption that a high level of tourism negatively affects residents’ quality of life, by default. A call for empirical evidence on the threshold of quantitative (for example frequency) and qualitative (for example, the nature of the interaction) tourism development is needed to reveal how local authorities can better ensure positive social impacts of tourism on the host population and tourism social sustainability.
