The innovations brought by the sharing economy model through digital booking platforms have produced changes in the dynamic of the accommodation supply in many tourism destinations. The fastness with which changes occur has left this market segment either largely unaccounted for statistically, or poorly regulated, and Maramureș Land, a known cultural and rural tourism destination with inherent regional and local particularities, is no exception. The study raises the issue of evidence regarding the level of adoption and the true scale of the accommodation supply in the area by focusing on listings from two of the most popular digital booking platforms – Booking.com and Airbnb, an aspect that can support policy-making adapted to its specific characteristics. These objectives were pursued through an empirical methodological approach to map the spatiotemporal distribution of listings from the area of Maramureș Land between 2010 and 2023. The methodology assumed the creation of an M.Excel database with all listings from the area, the extraction of descriptive variables and coordinates, the conversion of coordinates into vector point data, and the subsequent analysis using vector and attribute data processing instruments in QGIS.

This study explores the connection between workplace sexual harassment and the tendency of female hotel workers in Jordan to withdraw from their jobs, with a specific focus on the role of emotional exhaustion. The study involved female employees from five-star hotels in Amman, Jordan, using a convenience sampling approach, and collected 203 valid responses, achieving an 87% response rate. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the research found that sexual harassment and emotional exhaustion directly and positively affected withdrawal behaviors. Notably, sexual harassment had a substantial positive impact on emotional exhaustion. However, the study found that emotional exhaustion did not mediate the relationship between sexual harassment and withdrawal behaviors. The coefficients of determination (R2) for emotional exhaustion and withdrawal behaviors were 0.780 and 0.841, respectively. This study underscores the prevalence of sexual harassment in Jordanian hotel workplaces, especially among female employees. It highlights that sexual harassment significantly contributes to emotional exhaustion among female workers, which, in turn, affects their inclination to leave their jobs. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining motivated and engaged female employees within the hospitality industry.

The aim of the work is to examine the possibilities of developing geotourism in the context of existing, but not yet recognised, geoheritage in the north-eastern Wielkopolska, western Poland. Pałuki is characterised by exceptional geodiversity, which has enormous potential for diversifying the present tourist offer. The valorisation method of selected 12 geosites was used, taking into account geomorphological, additional and utility categories. The results of the analytical part made it possible to identify the most valuable and geotouristically attractive geosites. They form two original geotourism trails under the common name of "Geodiversified Pałuki". In order to increase the possibilities of developing local geotourism, two proposals for thematic geotourism trail focusing on the most interesting, and highly rated, geosites in the research area are presented.

Tourism is a very dynamic industry and can change rapidly under the influence of various factors. This causes pressure for flexible solutions in terms of managing tourism at the national level and ensuring its quality, and thus its sustainable attractiveness for both domestic and foreign tourism. Tourism performance has changed significantly under the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic, and based on this, the aim of this paper was to analytically evaluate the development of tourism performance in the Visegrad Four countries. Based on the use of the approximation method and the regression method, it evaluates the performance in the period 2013-2021 (latest available data) with the TTCI and TTDI Indexes and predicts the possible performance for the next year 2023 under the influence of the aforementioned pandemic. The results of the study point to different performance within the four countries. The country with the most stable tourism management potential and potentially the best performance appears to be the Czech Republic, and the worst performing is the Slovak Republic.
