Download or read book The Colombian Economy and Its Regional Structural Challenges written by Eduardo A. Haddad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines regional structural challenges on Colombia’s path to sustainable social cohesion and regionally inclusive growth. These challenges can be divided into three main groups: (i) those that focus on competitiveness and the supply side, (ii) those that arise from critical business cycle issues on the demand side, and (iii) those concerning environmental sustainability, employment and social inclusion. The contributions, written by experts on Latin American economics and regional science, apply quantitative simulations based on a unified general equilibrium framework and address a wide range of topics, including: Colombia’s competitive integration in global markets, human capital profiles, regional economic disparities and public and private mechanisms of interregional income transfer. The challenges entailed by such high-profile and long-term issues as productivity growth and climate change are also analyzed. In addition, the book positions Colombia’s experiences in an international comparative context. It argues that many other Latin American countries face similar challenges and provide evidence to substantiate this claim. By doing so, it offers valuable policy lessons for Latin American countries with similar difficulties.

Download or read book Overtourism and Tourism Education written by Hugues Séraphin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2017, the term ‘overtourism’ has become the buzzword for destinations suffering the strain of tourism. It is a critical issue for the 21st century and beyond, and to date has only been examined from a tourism industry perspective. This book takes a different stand by investigating overtourism from a tourism education perspective. The recent global COVID-19 pandemic was expected to halt travel and, arguably, overtourism. However, industry experts and researchers share the opinion that instead of declining, overtourism is simply experiencing a shift, with a swarm of ‘second home’ and domestic travel that is likely to engulf many tourism destinations. Against this backdrop, the issue of overtourism remains relevant and studies on ways to cultivate responsible consumer mindsets to deal with overtourism and other sustainability issues in the tourism industry are called for. This book focuses on education as a transformative and strategic tool to tackle overtourism and related negative impacts. It presents original research on the topics of overtourism, education, and sustainability, and puts forward a range of practical and transformative tourism education strategies to mitigate overtourism and to promote the sustainable development of destinations. This book will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers, and academics in tourism, development studies, cultural studies, and sustainability, as well as professionals in the field of tourism management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calidad, evaluación, análisis, sitios web? ¿Qué tienen en común todas estas palabras clave para que merezcan la atención del público de esta colección? El punto que lo une todo es la necesidad de un amplio y a la vez muy diverso colectivo profesional de saber qué es lo que hace que un sitio web responda a criterios de calidad. Pongamos el ejemplo de un profesional de la web que recibe el encargo de auditar los sitios web de una empresa de comercio electrónico: quiere estar segura de que está a la altura de sus competidores internacionales; o el de un equipo de investigadores académicos que se pregunta cómo están incorporando las webs de turismo las más recientes posibilidades de interacción debidas a la web 2.0. Lo que tienen en común escenarios y objetivos tan diversos es que, en todos ellos, sus protagonistas necesitarán disponer de alguna herramienta que los ayude a determinar qué necesitan saber en relación con una web determinada o un conjunto de sitios web. Este libro intenta aportar esos instrumentos.
