Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how sustainability practices influence tourists' propensity to spend more time and extend their stay. Research Methodology:  The study involved 114 tour firms and 342 tourists in Nairobi City County, Kenya. Tour operators' sustainability adoption levels were categorized using Z-scores from a compliance checklist, while tourist behavior was assessed through questionnaires. General Linear Models (GLM) were used to analyze the relationship between adoption levels and tourist behavior. Results: The findings of the study reveal that higher levels of sustainability - specifically Very High (VH), high (H), and moderate (M)–are positively associated with increased spending and longer stays. In contrast, low (L) and Very Low (VL) sustainability levels did not significantly affect these behaviors. Limitations: The use of Z-scores for categorization reduces complex data to a single dimension, which may oversimplify subtle differences in the adoption of sustainability practices among tour operators. Contribution: These results offer valuable insights for tour operators and stakeholders, demonstrating that integrating sustainability into business operations not only benefits the environment and local cultures, but also enhances economic outcomes for businesses and destinations.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the cultural potential and challenges of preserving the intangible cultural heritage and living culture of Cimande Tourism Village to enhance its development as a sustainable tourism destination. Research Methodology: A qualitative approach was used, with data collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews involving cultural practitioners, POKDARWIS (tourism committees), local residents, and government officials. Results: The study identified nine key cultural elements, including Pencak Silat, traditional medicine, and local rituals, while highlighting 11 major challenges, including insufficient stakeholder support, low community participation, limited human resource capacity, and minimal use of digital marketing. Limitations: This study focuses on cultural preservation efforts, specifically in Cimande Tourism Village, using qualitative methods such as thematic analysis and CAQDAS NVivo, limiting its scope. Contribution: This study deepens the understanding of how local culture can promote sustainable tourism, particularly in rural areas rich in cultural traditions such as Cimande. These findings provide valuable insights for tourism village managers and local governments to balance cultural preservation with economic growth through tourism. Novelty: This study offers a comprehensive exploration of the integration of local culture with sustainable tourism development in Cimande Village, an area that has not been extensively studied.

Abstract

Purpose: The objective was to assess the impact of entrepreneurship education on human capital development. Research Methodology: This study employed a descriptive survey methodology, focusing specifically on students in their 300-level business education and business administration programs. The sample was drawn from selected Universities in Anambra and Imo states, Nigeria. To analyze data effectively, the study utilized a linear regression model, which allowed us to test the hypotheses we had formulated for this research rigorously. Results: This study uncovered compelling evidence that entrepreneurship education plays a crucial role in enhancing human capital development. Specifically, it fosters critical skills, innovative thinking, and practical knowledge. Limitations: This study was conducted with a specific focus on a sample of 440 undergraduate students, carefully selected from various universities located in two southeastern states of Nigeria. This deliberate choice of participants allows us to gain insights that reflect the unique educational context of the region. Contribution: This study has significantly enhanced our understanding of the challenges faced by undergraduates regarding white-collar job opportunities in the country. It has highlighted the reality that many of these positions may be increasingly out of reach due to various economic and competitive factors.

Abstract

Abstract Purpose: The purpose of the research is to identify the features of the development of the hotel business in the mountainous zone of Adjara and the factors facilitating and hindering its further development; to determine the strategic directions of the hotel business in Upper Adjara in order to achieve sustainable development of the tourism industry. Methodology: The research employed a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies to explore the development of hotel-type accommodation facilities in the mountainous zone of Adjara. Surveys, interviews with hotel managers and owners, and field observations were conducted to assess challenges, opportunities, infrastructure conditions, and investment potential, while secondary data analysis examined tourism policies and economic trends. Results: The survey results indicate that the hotel and guest house sector in the mountainous zone of Adjara plays a crucial role in local employment, with most small hotels employing between 3 to 10 people and guest houses increasingly relying on hired labor. However, a major challenge in the sector is the shortage of qualified personnel, as 72% of respondents struggle to find skilled employees, while interest in staff training programs remains low. Conclusions: This study confirms that the development of hotel-type accommodation facilities in the mountainous zone of Adjara is influenced by natural potential, infrastructure, and increasing tourist inflows. The role of family hotels is particularly significant, as they contribute to regional tourism by integrating local traditions and resources, though territorial imbalances in hotel distribution persist. Limitations: One limitation of this study is the lack of long-term data on the sustainability of hotel businesses in the mountainous regions, as well as the limited focus on the economic impact of branded hotels on local businesses. Contributions: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the trends and challenges in developing hotel-type accommodation in the mountainous zone of Adjara, highlighting its economic, social, and environmental significance. It offers valuable insights into the role of family hotels in regional tourism and the impact of state policies on business sustainability.
