Research Methodology: The research was conducted by collecting data from reports and research papers from different international and national sources, interviews with 500 residents of Dhaka City, and five no. of recycling companies in Bangladesh. Upon descriptive analysis of the scenarios of global and Bangladeshi e-waste management, we tried to establish a relationship between proper e-waste management and business prospects.

Limitations: The sample for the interview was taken from Dhaka City only. A larger population could make the study richer. Contribution: The study suggests setting up advanced recycling facilities and transforming entire e-waste management practices through internationally and cooperatively adopted sustainable measures. It emphasizes developing proactive policies and enhancing public awareness of proper e-waste management with a view to effectively facing the challenges and grabbing the business opportunities available from the e-waste management process. Novelty: This research has tried to bring out economic benefits and business opportunities from the process of e-waste management.

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.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine seasonal patterns in tourist preferences for luxury resort stays in Bali, with a focus on how cultural backgrounds influence accommodation choices. The goal is to help resorts better understand guest behavior and optimize occupancy strategies. Methodology/approach: The research analyzes monthly online review data from Tripadvisor for Bvlgari Resort Bali, a prominent luxury hotel. A time-series analysis using the ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) model is applied to forecast occupancy trends. Prior to modeling, the data is tested for stationarity. In addition to forecasting, the study explores guest preferences by analyzing cultural characteristics inferred from reviews, categorizing them into collectivist and individualist orientations. Results/findings: Findings reveal that occupancy trends do not strictly align with the hotel’s predefined seasonal categories. Instead, they are shaped by global travel trends and cultural factors. Guests from collectivist cultures tend to prefer facilities that support group interaction and shared experiences, while those from individualist cultures prioritize privacy, exclusivity, and personalized services. The ARIMA model delivers accurate forecasting results, helping to predict future occupancy rates effectively. Conclusion: IoT integration enhances the reliability of hospital-based PV systems. Tourist behavior is not solely dictated by conventional seasons but also by cultural expectations and travel motivations. Leveraging these insights allows hotels to better align operations, marketing, and pricing strategies with actual guest preferences. Limitations: The study is limited to a single resort and uses data from one online review platform, which may not fully capture the diversity of all guests. Contribution: This study contributes to tourism analytics, cross-cultural marketing, and hotel management by offering data-driven strategies to enhance occupancy performance.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of financial mechanisms on improving the efficiency of small businesses and private entrepreneurship, focusing on their role in economic development in Uzbekistan, particularly in the Samarkand region. Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative analysis of official statistics with historical-comparative and financial performance evaluations. Data were collected from national and regional reports, and descriptive statistics were used to assess trends in gross regional product contributions and business activity levels. Results: The findings demonstrate that small businesses consistently contribute more than 70% to the gross regional product and play a vital role in employment and industrial output. However, persistent challenges in financial accessibility, regulatory implementation, and innovation hinder full potential. The study recommends enhancing financial infrastructure, expanding credit options, and improving entrepreneurial education to support long-term sectoral growth.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between service quality and tourist satisfaction in Lebakmuncang Tourism Village, located in Bandung Regency. The research emphasizes the importance of service quality in enhancing visitor satisfaction, particularly within the framework of community-based tourism. Research Methodology: A descriptive quantitative approach was used in this study. Data were collected from 95 tourist respondents through a structured questionnaire utilizing the Likert scale. The instrument was adapted from the SERVQUAL model and included additional dimensions such as willingness to serve, openness, reputation, and credibility. Results: The results indicate that tourists provided highly positive evaluations of various service quality dimensions, including physical evidence, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and emotional aspects. These assessments correspond with high levels of tourist satisfaction in terms of contentment, enjoyment, favorable impressions, and overall experience. Conclusion: The study confirms a strong correlation between service quality and tourist satisfaction. Quality service not only boosts visitor loyalty and destination appeal but also supports operational efficiency through positive word-of-mouth. Limitations: This study is limited to a single destination and uses self-reported data, which may not capture broader variations or longitudinal changes in perception. Contributions: This research contributes empirical evidence to the tourism service literature and offers strategic insights for stakeholders in community-based tourism to enhance service delivery and destination sustainability.
