Influencing Factors of Azerbaijan and China’s Sustainable Tourism Development Strategy under the One Belt One Road Initiative

Abstract

After the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was put forward, the tourism industry between Azerbaijan and China developed rapidly, and gradually became an important area of cooperation between the two countries to promote economic cooperation, non-governmental exchange, and cultural exchange. However, there is currently a lack of research on the development strategy of tourism cooperation between the two countries under the BRI. This paper aims to explore the development strategy of sustainable tourism cooperation between Azerbaijan and China under BRI through a hybrid model of SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). The factor elements of the SWOT matrix introduce ambiguity due to the complex layering of elemental importance. Therefore, the AHP method was used to systematically evaluate the importance of strategic factors and reduce the subjective bias caused by the SWOT analysis method. By constructing the Delphi-AHP-SWOT strategic quadrilateral and calculating the azimuth of the strategy type, the type and intensity map of the tourism cooperation development strategy between Azerbaijan and China under the BRI is drawn. Finally, it is concluded that the development strategy of tourism cooperation between Azerbaijan and China is a pioneering development strategy. Suggestions are given for future development. This paper provides a valuable experience for the sustainable development of tourism cooperation among countries under the BRI.

How to realize digital transformation in satellite communication industry? -- Configuration analysis based on the technology-organization-environment framework

“…Especially in the international situation where the United States and other developed countries are vigorously implementing the "Star-link" strategy to further widen the gap with developing countries, the development of China's space industry will be under increasing pressure (Lee et al, 2021). How to realize the digital transformation of satellite communication industry with digital technology is an important topic for realizing smart spaceflight (Pagani, 2013), improving the development mode of China aerospace + China Service, and implementing the national strategy of "One Belt and One Road" spatial information corridor (Liu and Suk, 2022). Therefore, the digital transformation of satellite communication industry is not only an important way to promote the high-quality development of China's satellite communication industry (Wen et al, 2022), but also an important support to drive the development and growth of China's digital economy.…”

Research on the Development and Innovative Management Models of Cultural Creative Parks

“…In today's increasingly globalized world, the cultural exchange function has become an indispensable aspect of cultural creative parks. The parks not only serve as physical spaces for industry aggregation but also act as bridges and bonds for cultural exchange and integration [5][6]. Cultural creative parks gather talents from different fields and backgrounds, each possessing unique cultural perspectives and creative concepts.…”

Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Determinants of Tourism Cooperation Network in Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Region

“…As an important factor affecting regional tourism interrelationships and economic behavior, cooperation has been a hot issue in the tourism field. Most of the studies are based on symbiotic cooperation theory, coordinated development theory, and policy management theory, mainly focusing on cooperation agent behavior [9][10][11][12], cooperation model construction [13][14][15][16], cooperation countermeasure optimization [17,18], cooperation governance policies [19,20], and cooperation progress evaluation [21], with qualitative research methods. Particularly, the research focus on tourism cooperation driven by external forces or internal factors, which are common in events [22,23], traffic infrastructure [24][25][26][27], and related policies [28].…”
