“…Previous research shows that asymmetric and nonlinear effects have been observed in the development of tourism in most destination countries ( Lee et al, 2022 ). Some researchers suggested that, based on a sense of belonging and identity, people are more likely to accept familiar cultural programs ( Pastina and Straubhaar, 2005 ).…”

Recently, numerous studies have focused on tourism among the older population. Of them, most reported on status analysis, tourism motivation, and tourism model, to name a few; however, there was a lack of comprehensive synthesis and analysis of the motivation, influencing factors, policy impact, and other factors of older tourism. Thus, this study conducted various keyword searches among both English and Chinese publications. We found that older population’s tourism is affected by various factors, such as travel expense, physical condition, the length and distance of a trip, and cultural influence. The results provide a reference for the development and implementation of tourism among the older population.

“…It is important to mention that the motivation for travel for outbound tourists from the UAE distinct from outbound tourist behavior from the West needs further exploration (Prayag and Hosany, 2014). The travel motives and perception of tourists (Lee et al, 2022) from the UAE to other countries is still under‐researched so our results based on the wavelet methods may show interesting ramifications that needs further research.…”

The major tourist destinations in the Asian region are promoting and maintaining a conducive tourism environment. The susceptibility of the major tourist destinations in Asia to the uncertainties may encumber the arrival of international tourists. However, to the best of our understanding the research in this area is scant. Further though the tourism-uncertainty nexus has been widely explored in the literature, the deliberations in a time-varying and frequency-domain framework continue to be ignored. Thus, building upon the earlier deficiencies this study, investigates in a time and scale varying framework the tourism uncertainty/risk nexus for Singapore and Malaysia, two major tourist destinations in the Asian region. This article endeavors to investigate the role of world policy uncertainty, US Monetary Policy Uncertainty, geopolitical risk, Global Financial Stress Index and market volatility on international tourist arrivals in Malaysia and Singapore. To the best of our understanding, this study is the foremost to scrutinize the interrelatedness between these variables in a multivariate wavelet causality framework, from January 2000 to April 2020. Our results show that the global uncertainties manifested through different macro-based indicators affect international tourism demand for the destination countries. During the subprime crisis, Euro-crisis and the pandemics significant coherencies are perceptible. The major empirical findings of the impact of uncertainty indicators and geopolitical risk on international tourist arrivals over the recent period have important implications for policy makers and practitioners.

“…The interaction of tourism and cultural heritage can become a factor in increasing the competitiveness of countries in the tourism market. Scientists offer a cultural explanation of the competitiveness of travel and tourism of countries by studying the relationship between the competitiveness of tourist destinations and interest in the national culture of the countries of tourist arrivals [16]. Direct correlations were revealed by analyzing data from 73 countries.…”

Tourism development in Ukraine has improved in terms of tourist flows, both as a diversification of tourism demand and tourism products in the last decades. Cultural tourism is a promising direction of tourist activity and occupies a leading position in the modern global tourist management system. The object of research is cultural tourism within the tourist destination of the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Regarding this, the authors revisit the phenomenon of cultural tourism in the country, in order to identify cultural tourism potential through cultural consumption among tourists, applying a special tourism survey. The purpose of this research is to identify the main problems of the development of cultural tourism in the Carpathian region from the point of view of demand and supply of cultural tourism programs based on the results of a comprehensive sociological study on the evaluation of tourist objects and the possibility of their inclusion in the cross-border tourist product “Carpathian Cultural Route”. The results of the survey demonstrated responses from 264 consumers of cultural tourism, which is 2,5% of the number of tourists (general population), and 140 respondents – employees of cultural institutions (objects of cultural tourism), the calculated sample of which was 28% of providers of cultural tourism services. The estimated sample was 28% of cultural tourism service providers. Among the positive aspects of the visit, tourists noted the price policy of institutions acceptable to them, the high level of authenticity and historical and cultural value of objects, the appropriate quality of service, and emotional comfort when visiting cultural and historical objects. According to consumers, the main problems of the development of cultural tourism are the low level of infrastructure support of objects and tourist destinations in general, the limited range of additional services, and limited information about the object. The authors emphasize the importance of developing culturally coherent policies to increase the competitiveness of tourist destinations. The most significant problems of the development of cultural tourism from the point of view of employees of tourist objects of cultural tourism are low level of infrastructure development of cultural tourist objects and tourist destinations in general, insufficient financing of institutions, low level of monetization of objects, low level of tourist and cultural activities in a tourist destination, insufficient advertising of the tourist object, imperfection of state tools for regulating tourist activity within cultural objects, low qualification of employees. Scientific developments on this topic will foster the application of innovative approaches towards the differentiation of cultural tourism objects, which, as a consequence, will help to target potential consumers and improve cultural tourism programs.
