Crisis events represent a costly threat to businesses in the tourism sector. Tourism companies have long recognized the importance of crisis management and realized that their passive attitude toward possible crises can negatively affect their work. Despite this knowledge, many of them are not prepared for a quick response and do not have mechanisms that can indicate that danger early. For those reasons, the need to write this paper arose, intending to provide tourism enterprises with an appropriate tool for successfully fighting against crises. This paper's main goal was to determine the opinion of Generation Y about "Were we able to deal with the crisis in the tourism sector in the Republic of North Macedonia in the period 2020-2022?". For this purpose, the authors did narrative research using secondary sources of information and empirical research about the problem. After processing the data and their visualization through tables and graphs, based on the results of the empirical research, the authors presented their conclusions and recommendations for appropriate actions in dealing with the crises encountered by the enterprises that belong to the tourism sector.
危机事件对旅游业的企业来说是一种代价高昂的威胁。旅游公司早已认识到危机管理的重要性，并意识到他们对可能发生的危机所持的消极态度会对其工作产生负面影响。尽管有这样的认识，但许多旅游公司并没有做好快速反应的准备，也没有能够及早显示危险的机制。因此，我们有必要撰写这篇论文，旨在为旅游企业提供成功应对危机的适当工具。本文的主要目标是确定 Y 世代对 "2020-2022 年期间，我们是否能够应对北马其顿共和国旅游业的危机？为此，作者利用二手信息来源和有关问题的实证研究进行了叙事研究。根据实证研究的结果，作者通过表格和图表对数据进行了处理和可视化，然后提出了结论和建议，以采取适当行动应对旅游部门企业遇到的危机。

The core principle of MIRCE Science revolves around the idea that the purpose of any working system is to perform work. The work is accomplished when a specific measurable function is carried out over time. All working systems require maintenance throughout their lifespan. It is generally understood that, during maintenance, the system is not actively performing any work. The duration and frequency of these tasks directly influence the amount of work lost due to maintenance. That work loss is known to have various consequences, such as monetary, reputational, or social implications. The main objective of this paper is to present how a proactive management approach, known as group replacement, can enhance work productivity compared to individual replacements. Under this strategy, the entire group must be replaced when any item within that group fails. This approach aims to minimize the number of maintenance tasks required and maximize the amount of work accomplished. The provided numerical example demonstrates the practical application of MIRCE Science in quantitatively evaluating the impact of group replacement on work productivity and resource allocation.

The growth of investments in tourism and increase in production due to increased tourist demand has a positive synergistic effect on all sectors of the country's economy. That encourages investment activity, the creation of new jobs, the expansion of trade, and an increase in wages. A part of the income comes through taxes to the state budget. A synergistic effect occurs consequently. This research showed that the system of organization and development of the tourist services market represents a combination of financial and economic structures, models, and management methods. With the help of it, social, group coordination, and private interest arising from the growth of the tourist product market are achieved. The paper presents the methods and tools that enable the assessment of the region's competitiveness in the tourist and recreational services provisions and an overview of the main factors that influence the demand for these services. The consistency and objectivity of the considered problems in their mutual connection and interdependence are ensured by considering general economic principles and methods of analyzing the legality of economic development, logical analysis, decision theory methods, set theory, historical method, abstract-logical method, statistical methods (consideration of indicators in dynamics, grouping, method of detailing), methods of comparison, comparison, etc. The study is based on economic literature, works of contemporary scientists, the legislative framework of the Russian Federation, materials of state statistical authorities, materials of scientific conferences, and the information potential of the Internet.

The digitization process, imposed by the rapid development of electronics, the Internet, the availability of IT, new software, devices, networks, and platforms, is gaining an almost unlimited reach. The concept of process visualization initially appeared as a comprehensive term for obtaining and using data and information with the application of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in the economy and beyond, intending to fully characterize the process with specific key performance indicators (KPI), which would enable its users to better insight into the state of their processes, vehicles, devices, people, at any time, from any place, according to the principle of each-and-everyone. The paper presents systematized communication technologies and services in the cloud that are in use or under development. The division into groups of technologies was made according to the functions significant in logistics and supply chains. Some of the technologies analyzed are described in brief. The work aims to present to businessmen and researchers some of the new technologies that are significant for their areas of business and interest so that they can direct their activities toward that area.

Transportation plays a crucial role in the movement of information, capital, goods, and services between different points, impacting both the environment and human society. It encompasses the economic, fast, and secure movement of people and goods to yield spatial and temporal advantages. The advent of the steam engine led to the introduction and continued utilization of steam locomotives in railway transportation. In Turkey, despite the need to establish economic opportunities, resource allocation between the two main transportation subsystems, namely railways and roads, remains an issue. Railway transportation is a highly efficient mode of mass transportation, capable of transferring large numbers of passengers and cargo with minimal energy consumption and air pollution, making it environmentally friendly. It generates less noise compared to other modes of transportation, relative to the freight and passengers it carries, and requires less land and urban space. However, the efficient utilization of railway resources is contingent upon sufficient demand. Turkey's strategic location as a gateway between Europe and the Middle East underscores the need for further development of rail passenger transportation. This would optimize infrastructure resources, enhance environmental sustainability, and promote economic and social benefits through cross-border mobility. This paper examines the challenges hindering the expansion of passenger railway transport and offers solutions and recommendations for the future.
