Our article aims to understand the participation of the ‘backpacking neighbourhood’ Phạm Ngũ Lão in the current metropolization process of Hồ Chí Minh City. This neighbourhood is representative of Vietnamese ‘glocalization’. By this term, we mean the abilities of local stakeholders to benefit from the opportunities created by an increasingly global economy. These skills are reflected not only in innovations and landscape transformations to attract tourists, but also in ‘reactivations’ based on older urban practices. We question not only the production of specific urban territories through backpacking activities, but also the spatial and social inequalities they generate. By doing so, our intention is to combine tourism studies and urban studies to ‘unpack’ the figure of the backpacking neighbourhood and to go beyond the idea of urban enclaves.

Globalization and marketing have long been part of the world in which we live, and are seen as acceptable to governments and citizens (the latter to a lesser degree). In the 20th century, these two topics and applications marched hand-inhand. In the 21st century, questions of business contribution to society became marked, and sustainability came to the fore. Meanwhile, tourism expanded exponentially year-on-year until 2019, and more growth was anticipated in 2020. Yet, all of these topics were overtaken, disrupted, and in some cases stopped altogether by COVID-19, which has - in effect - held up a mirror to the global economy and deep and searching questions now need to asked. This paper tackles these issues conceptually and critically. Now, practically all the advantages and benefits of a globalized future, brimming with growth by sustainable businesses, with tourism booming are open to conjecture, comment, and criticism.

\"This volume offers insight into the historical and contemporary entanglement of theatre and tourism, and speculates about the future as emerging technologies reshape both industries, offering new experiences of presence, embodiment, and mobility. Theatre and Tourism begins by presenting the concept of the \"touristic\", together with a brisk survey of tourism theory and relevant works in performance and theatre studies. It then offers three chapters, each contextualizing its central questions with a range of examples from geopolitically diverse sites, before closely reading an example based on original research\"-- Provided by publisher.

Today, international tourism is one of the most affected sectors of the economy due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The main purpose of this article is to analyze current trends and identify prospects for the international tourism development in the context of increasing globalization risks in the world, using the example of Ukraine's integration into the global tourism industry, as Ukraine is located in the centre of Europe and belongs to a number of countries with developing economies, and has the potential to expand its tourism industry, which may be of interest to the international scientific community in terms of overcoming the bifurcation point of its economic development. Analyzing the tourism industry, as one of the most progressive sectors of the world economy, we used general scientific and special research methods (abstract-logical, statistical, systemic analysis and synthesis, abstract-theoretical, and correlation-regression analysis). The paper analyzes major indexes of international tourism development in the modern globalized world and details the risks emerging during the global COVID-19 pandemic. It examines the global dynamics of tourism flows, where France, Spain, and the USA are unquestionable leaders. The study considers foreign exchange earnings of international tourism and the industry contribution to the gross domestic product of countries being an essential component of national budgets. Based on the study conducted, there were developed reliable forecast models for the tourism industry development in the countries under research. These models will provide an opportunity to generate reliable forecasts, which will allow timely identification of potential threats and making effective decisions to address them. At the same time, the issues of managing information support of economic entities in the field of international tourism need to be further developed in order to reduce risks.

Globalization and the changes in the technological and social industries have facilitated international mobility in such a way that the distinctions between tourism and other forms of mobility closer to migration have practically become blurred. Improvements in digital communication have promoted people’s search for a better quality of life in terms of health, work, leisure, and other aspects. New forms of communication have started to gradually displace the more conventional media. In this context, private companies, entrepreneurs, and public entities have grown aware of the importance of digital communication to achieve a greater scope in their population attraction policies. In this context, the present study aims to identify which digital communication strategies are used to generate interest and attraction to the destination. In our Systematic Literature Review (SLR), we examine the relationship between the terms “lifestyle migration” and “digital communication”, obtaining 294 articles found in Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus. After the analysis, we found 16 potential articles that were linked to the research objectives. The results of the methodology are classified according to the different digital communication actions identified, namely (i) Social Network Relationship; (ii) Digital Marketing, and (iii) Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. Therefore, this this study contributes to link lifestyle migration and digital communication to destination management offices, companies and entrepreneurs. The paper finishes with a discussion of theoretical and practical implications of research on digital communication strategies in the field of long-stay tourism.

This volume analyzes the politics, policy and practice of cultural heritage at the global level, identifying the major directions in which international heritage practice is moving, and exploring the key issues likely to shape the cultural heritage field well into the twenty-first century. It examines the tensions between the universal claims of much heritage practice, particularly that associated with the World Heritage system, and national and local perspectives. It explores the international legal framework developed since World War Two to protect heritage, particularly at times of war, and from theft, showing how contemporary global problems of conflict and illicit trade continue to challenge the international legal system. Heritage and Globalisation critiques the incorporation of heritage in the world economy through the policies of international development organisations and the global tourism trade. It also approaches heritage from seldom-considered perspectives, as a form of aid, as a development paradigm, and as a form of sustainable practice. The book identifies some of the most pressing issues likely to face the heritage industry at a global level in coming decades, including the threat posed by climate change and the need for poverty reduction. Providing a historically and theoretically rigorous approach to heritage as a form of and manifestation of globalisation, the volume’s emphasis is on contemporary issues and new fields for heritage practice.
