“…This scarcity has resulted in price surges and limited food accessibility, impacting local and international tourists. As Hashim et al (2019) outlined, the annual escalation of food expenses further exacerbates existing food security issues. Additionally, the growing number of tourists intensifies the severity of food security issues, and necessary governmental management is required to meet demands (Hashim et al 2019) adequately.…”

The objectives of this study are to investigate the food security issues arising in gastronomic tourism, to verify the food insecurity experiences encountered by tourists, and to determine the tourists’ dining satisfaction from the gastronomic tourism experiences in Malaysia. A quantitative approach was selected for this study. These issues were concluded from the data collection via questionnaire forms disseminated online through multiple social media platforms consisting of 250 participants of both local and international tourists visiting Malaysia. The Independent T-test and Mann-Whitney test were used as the main statistical test to establish if any tourist groups had food security-related issues during their visit. The results showed that local tourists are more likely to be affected by food security issues, food insecurity, and dining experiences. Overall, this study discovered that both local and international tourists have contrasting experiences in gastronomy tourism in Malaysia.

“…Also, this sector, considering the potential for job creation, the possibility of earning foreign exchange income through exports, saving foreign exchange expenditures by increasing domestic production, the strategic nature of some of its products, and achieving the goals of the anti-sanctions economy in Western-sanctioned countries. It is one of the sectors in the economy that is directly targeted by governments (Wegren et al, 2017;Hashim et al, 2019). This sector in the economy of the Russian Federation, especially after the tensions between Russia and some of its agricultural suppliers, such as the European Union and Turkey (Tensions between Russia and the European Union due to the accession of Crimea to the Russian Federation in 2014; Tensions between Russia and Turkey have risen sharply since the Turkish military overthrew the Russian Sukhoi 24 in 2015).…”

This paper explores the problem of developing agricultural consumer cooperation enterprises and increasing their competitiveness. According to the authors, the development of agricultural cooperation can give an impetus to increasing the potential of rural areas, will solve the food security problem of the Russian Federation, and stimulate the development of national agriculture. The study identifies the main problems that hinder the development of agricultural cooperation in Russia, including the low competitiveness of these enterprises, insufficient knowledge and poor motivation of the population to create a cooperative movement, the lack of effective state support for agricultural producers from the regional and federal authorities, as well as policies pursued by large retailers, which are mainly aimed at increasing imports of agricultural products. The authors propose a comprehensive approach to solve these problems by highlighting several key priority areas. At the same time, the priority task is to increase the competitiveness of consumer cooperation enterprises and their products. The paper analyses the activities of agricultural consumer cooperation enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan and offers recommendations to improve the competitiveness of consumer societies, in particular, by creating a wholesale distribution and logistics link for cooperation, reducing costs, and optimizing the assortment.

“…First of all, it is affected by the professionalism of workers who provide tourism services, which is mentioned in the works of many researchers (Edgell et al, 2008;Esichaikul & Baum, 1998;Semenova et al, 2018;Mango et al, 2020). A low level of professionalism that does not comply with international standards leads to complaints from customers, thereby shattering the tourist image and incurring long-term economic damage to the destination (Arif et al, 2016;Van den Berg, 2016;Hashim et al, 2019: Kireeva et al, 2018.…”

The purpose of the study is to consider professional accreditation of tour guides as an important mechanism for improving and maintaining the overall image of tourist destinations, analyze the main current world types of guide certification and then present another certification model as a mechanism for improving the quality of services provided. The first part of the article describes the results of a publications review and the results of an empirical study of guide accreditation programs. In countries with developed tourism, there is no single approach to the accreditation of guides, and governmental institutions, together with professional communities, decide if it is mandatory. In its second part, the article overviews the approaches to the accreditation of guides in some regions of the Russian Federation. The necessity to regulate the market of guided tour services is certain since poor quality services develop a negative impression of travel destinations, and only professionally trained guides can tell a good story about a particular place or object. The lack of government regulation in the provision of services by tour guides has resulted in a significant proportion of incompetent people who often form a negative impression on tourists. This undoubtedly affects both the brand of tourist destinations in the eyes of current and potential visitors, and economic indicators, since an insufficient influx of tourists does not encourage the development of destinations. The value of the work lies in systematizing the international practices of individual tourist destinations, examining the experience of tour guides in the Russian Federation, and analyzing the legal framework of guided tours. This study contributes to a better understanding of the need to introduce the process of accreditation of guides in the Russian Federation.
