Summary. The paradisiac boom that tourism meant for nation states came to an abrupt end by the spring of 2020, due to the emergence of a globally spread pathogen. Integrations across nation states have all played a role in addressing the epidemic and mitigating its negative effects on tourism. The most important aim of this study is to explore the extent to which V4 countries can build on each other’s tourist flows during the Covid-19 relaunch. After a thorough elaboration of the literature, the number of bednights was analysed using the tourism statistical databases of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), EuroStat and the European Travel Commission (ETC). The countries belonging to the Visegrád Cooperation are in a privileged position, as they had meaningful and safe tourism traffic with each other even before the epidemic, so all market participants have significant experience of “friendly” tourism in the region. Összefoglalás. A turizmus 2010 óta töretlen globális konjunktúrája 2020 tavaszán a COVID–19 világjárvány miatt megszakadt és a legoptimistább becslések szerint sem tér egyhamar vissza. A járványhelyzet kezelésében és a turizmusra gyakorolt negatív hatásainak enyhítésében a nemzetállamok feletti integrációk, a különböző regionális együttműködések, valamint a kormányközi megállapodások egyaránt szerepet játszottak. A Visegrádi Együttműködés (V4), a kelet-közép-európai régió együttműködését, gazdasági-társadalmi felzárkózását elősegítő, 1991-ben létrehozott integráció kiemelt figyelmet szentel a COVID–19 járvány gazdasági-társadalmi következményeinek kooperatív orvoslására, kitüntetetten a biztonságos turistaáramlás feltételeinek megteremtésére. A jelen tanulmány célja kettős, egyrészt annak feltárása, hogy a V4 országok a COVID–19 járványt követő újraindítás során milyen mértékben építhetnek az egymás között megvalósuló turistaáramlásokra, másrészt a turizmusbiztonság és a geopolitika határmezsgyéjén húzódó elméleti tudás bővítése. Ennek érdekében a szakirodalom, valamint a téma napi szinten változó aktualitásaira való tekintettel a szaksajtó feldolgozását követően a World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), az EuroStat és a European Travel Commission (ETC) turizmusstatisztikai adatbázisának felhasználásával elemezzük az érintett országokban realizálódó vendégéjszakák számát és a kölcsönös vendégforgalomban rejlő kibontakozási potenciált. A V4 országok együttműködése már a járványt megelőzően is a gazdaságfejlesztés területén bontakozott ki a legintenzívebben, így a normalitáshoz való visszatérés során is várható, hogy a tagállamok kihasználják a kelet-közép-európai integrációban rejlő előnyöket. A COVID–19 járvány miatt súlyos válságba került turizmus a gazdaságfejlesztés azon területe, ahol a Visegrádi Együttműködés több évtizedes tapasztalatokkal és eredményekkel rendelkezik, így a földrajzi és kulturális közelség, az országok közötti turistaforgalom rendszerváltás előtti időkre visszanyúló tradíciói, a turisztikai szolgáltatások kedvező ár-érték aránya tekinthetők azon versenyelőnyöknek, amelyekre az újraindítás eredményesen építhető. A közelséget akár a távolság, akár az idő dimenziójában értékeljük a V4 országok feltétlenül profitálhatnak a közelség nyújtotta előnyökből. A térség közbiztonsága kielégítő, a V4 országok állampolgárai – a „helyismeretük” okán is – a kevésbé veszélyeztetett utazók közé tartoznak. A kereskedelmi szálláshelyeken töltött vendégéjszakák 2019. évi mutatóit figyelembe véve kölcsönös érdeklődés mutatkozik egymás országainak turisztikai desztinációi és attrakciói iránt, amely potenciálra a normalitásba való visszatérés során, illetve azt követően is biztosan építhet a térség.

The study seeks to explore how blockchain technology enables the creation of new ideas for ventures and to examine the activities of founders and entrepreneurial teams in shaping those ideas. We adopted several theoretical frameworks – external enablers theory, dynamic capabilities (DCs), and dynamic managerial capabilities (DMCs) – to explain the interaction of the actor-independent and actor-dependent factors in the process of new firm formation. We analysed four Hungarian blockchain start-ups that operate across financial services, cryptocurrency trading, crypto asset management, energy, information technology, and identity industries and create high value-added and cross-industrial offerings for Hungarian and foreign markets. Using qualitative study research results, the study develops the model of external enablers, founders' and firm capabilities and new venture creation. We identify three interconnected external enablers – namely, market volatility associated with the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies and the underlying blockchain technology, the properties of blockchain, and the ideology behind the technology – and discuss the role of entrepreneurs' DMCs and sensing and seizing activities in discovering and shaping these enablers into profitable business ideas.

The study analyses the publication performance of economics and management researchers in the Visegrad 4 countries (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia) and Romania based on their publications in the Scopus database. First, 150 researchers are selected from each country, who are then further selected according to their most recent affiliation and research area. Using a 449-item dataset, six multivariate statistical analyses (e.g. principal component analysis and cluster analysis) are carried out to examine the relationships among the seven variables (e.g. number of publications, citations, and co-authors) that characterize the performance of the publication activity of researchers. The results highlight the excellence criteria for the publication performance of economics and management researchers from the Visegrad 4 countries and Romania as well as their ranking position.

Ageing is one of the main social crises of the developed world. Predicted longer life expectancy and rising health mean that travel is playing a more decisive role in the ageing generation’s attitude to leisure time – even after retirement. The current study analyses the steep rise in senior tourism using multivariable methods to explore the characteristics of tourism spending by the 65s living in Hungary. Using the Hungarian Central Statistical Office’s (HCSO) dissemination database for 2009 to 2018, this study explores the characteristics of tourism spending as well as the factors influencing spending for seniors and all travellers. The structure of spending is evaluated using 17 types of spending and 12 travel dimensions. This study explores those factors that drive spending by Hungarian senior travellers that differ from those of average travellers. Exploring the features influencing tourism spending by the elderly taking multi-day domestic trips, we find that people over 65 spent a higher proportion on food, souvenirs and on the use of travel agents. Comparative study of the dimensions and outputs of multiday domestic trips found that four outputs generated a significant difference for all travellers and the elderly: those without a primary education (1), those living in settlements with between 2,000 and 5,000 inhabitants (2), those living in Heves County (3), and travellers to Veszprem County (4).

A társadalom elöregedésének folyamata olyan demográfiai jelenség, amely komoly gazdasági és társadalmi kihívásokat jelez előre, amelyek megoldásához átfogó stratégiára van szükség. Az idősek társadalmon belüli részarányának növekedésével párhuzamosan egyre szaporodik az elöregedéshez való alkalmazkodás sikerességét, valamint ennek területi ösz-szevethetőségét mérő indexek száma is. E nemzetközi mutatószámok tekintetében azonban Magyarország rendszerint a mezőny hátsó felében végez, amely azt feltételezi, hogy van még fejlődési lehetőség ezen a téren. Mélyinterjúkon alapuló kvalitatív kutatásunk az időskorúak szubjektív életminősége és a turisztikai szolgáltatói szerepvállalásuk közötti kapcsolatot tárja fel. Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy ezen időskorúak készségei és tapasztalatai kiválóan alkalmassá teszik őket az örökségbemutatással összefüggő feladatok ellátására.

A turizmussal összefüggő sztereotípiák, különösen azok életkori sajátosságainak feltárására a nemzetközi és a hazai kutatóműhelyek mindeddig kevesebb hangsúlyt helyeztek. A probléma elsősorban a fejlett társadalmakat sújtó idősödés miatt érdemel komolyabb figyelmet, mivel a turizmus egyrészt gerjesztője, másrészt feloldója az egymástól – részben a digitalizáció miatt – távolodó fiatal és idős korosztály sztereotípiaalkotási mechanizmusának. Annak érdekében, hogy megismerjük, mit gondolnak a magyarországi fiatalok az idősek utazásának legfontosabb célterületeiről és motivációiról, online kérdőíves felmérést végeztünk (n=600), mellyel párhuzamosan az időseket is megkérdeztük, ők hogyan látják a vizsgált problémakört (n=317). Az eredmény meglepetéssel szolgált, egyrészt a fiatalok és az idősek válaszai nagyon közel álltak egymáshoz, másrészt több évtizedes berögződéseket tükröztek. Az, hogy az idősek magyarországi utazásai a velük kapcsolatos hetero- és autosztereotípia alapján egyaránt a nyugalmat biztosító, gyógyturisztikai kínálattal rendelkező településekhez (kitüntetetten Hévízhez) kötődnek – a turizmus nemzetközi trendjeinek fényében –, feltétlenül a tárgyaltak átgondolására készteti a tervezésben, a fejlesztésben és a menedzsmentben érintett turisztikai szakembereket.

The development of the night-time economy has improved the destination competitiveness of many big cities. Income and tourism experiences, in particular, have been the most affected by this change. However, managing the potential negative impacts and harmonising the interests of stakeholders represent challenges. The purpose of this article is to show that a destination can only be competitive if it can serve the long-term well-being of both visitors and locals. In this research the authors provide an overview of the problems of the night-time economy and analyses the available solutions. Urban politics and local political forces are determinant factors that influence the management of a creative city. Furthermore, they focus on the solutions provided by social innovation. which involves the learning and cooperation of locals. In this paper, all these aspects are analysed in the context of Budapest's ruin pub quarter, which is nowadays the focus of debates as the negative effects of the night economy have not yet been effectively resolved. The impact of the night-time economy is examined through qualitative interviews in the quarter with locals and visitors to crystalize the most important issues and solutions as well as by mapping the characteristics of recent civil initiatives which are the driving force of social innovation due to the limited effectiveness of the measures of urban policies.

This paper addresses the phenomenon of overtourism in Budapest from multiple perspectives, starting with an overview that uses information collected from news, media, and academic tourism literature. Further, the phenomenon of overtourism is addressed quantitatively using different indicators, including tourism density and intensity. According to these indicators, the center of Budapest (formed by districts I, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX) has been strongly affected by the presence of tourists, while districts physically far from the center have been less affected. This fact suggests the heterogeneity of the city in terms of overtourism. The number one catalyst of the negative impacts of foreign visitors’ behavior is party tourism (‘ruin pub’ tourism), which involves an unconventional use of the Hungarian capital. Finally, using an unconventional optimization method called fuzzy linear programming, we attempt to explore the challenging problem of identifying the optimal number of tourists for the city. The results of the study have important theoretical, methodological, and practical implications. On the theoretical side, we offer a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of overtourism in Budapest. Methodologically, the integrated approach in terms of data gathering and unconventional analytical methodologies (comprised of a case study analysis, the assessment of effective indicators for measuring the discussed phenomenon, and the demonstration of the sustainable number of visitors) represents a novel perspective about the extent of overtourism in Budapest. On the practical side, our findings provide valuable guidance for policymakers to help mitigate the problem of overtourism in the city. With regard to future research, we suggest extending and updating the results presented in this study to develop more sustainable tourism strategies.

The phenomenon of tourism, driven by individuals’ desire to experience something new, different, or otherly, has seen significant changes [...]

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism had permeated all spaces of experience, reaching nearly every country, region, community, and corner of the globe. In recent decades, the meanings, implications, and roles of tourism have also expanded significantly. This article focuses on unconventional tourism mobilities, including same-day visits, which are an important but often neglected part of the tourism system, constantly challenging both scholars and tourism industry stakeholders. Unconventional tourism is an umbrella term that covers most kinds of unregistered or unaccounted tourist mobilities, some of which might not appear to be ‘tourism’ but should be in certain localities and under certain conditions. Given the growth of unregistered tourist flows and unaccounted leisure (or utilitarian) mobilities, there is a need in tourism studies to apply innovative research methods and to reconceptualize the meanings of tourism in different geographical and social contexts. It is expected that people’s desire to travel in the post-pandemic era will educe new spatial and temporal travel experiences and behaviours in which unconventional tourisms will play an important role. To better understand this phenomenon and to evaluate the development of new approaches to travel and behavioural spatialities, new ways of thinking, new theoretical constructs, and new methodologies are needed. This article seeks to explore certain hidden or invisible tourism mobilities, focusing on the geographical patterns, processes, and hidden aspects of unconventional tourism.

Despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of thermal baths in existence, knowledge about the occurrence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in untreated thermal wastewater is very limited. Because used thermal water is typically legally discharged into surface waters without any treatment, the effluent poses environmental risks for the receiving water bodies. The aim of this study was to show the occurrence patterns and spatiotemporal characteristics of 111 PhACs in thermal wastewater. Six thermal water outflows of different thermal baths were tested in different seasons in the Budapest metropolitan region (Hungary), and diurnal analysis was performed. After solid-phase extraction, the samples were analysed and quantified by coupling supercritical fluid chromatography and mass spectrometry to perform simultaneous multi-residue drug analysis. The results confirm that water discharge pipes directly transport pharmaceuticals into surface water bodies; 34 PhACs were measured to be over the limit of quantification at least once, and 21 of them were found in more than one water sample. The local anaesthetic drug lidocaine, antiepileptic carbamazepine, analgesic derivative tramadol and illicit drug cocaine were detected in more than half of the samples. Caffeine, metoprolol and bisoprolol (cardiovascular drugs), benzoylecgonine (cocaine metabolite), diclofenac (NSAID), citalopram (antidepressant) and certain types of hormones also have a significant frequency of 30-50%. However, the occurrence and concentrations of PhACs vary according to the season and number/types of visitors. As demonstrated by the diurnal fluctuation, drug contamination of thermal waters can significantly vary, even for similar types of baths; furthermore, the quantity and types of some pollutants rapidly change in the discharged thermal wastewater.

Although the international dissemination of findings yielded by the tourism-oriented research of Hungarian doctoral schools is still in its infancy, the fact that several generations of such scientists have been brought up since the 1970s implies promising changes and a brighter future when it comes to the tourism sciences. The years following the political changeover brought about significant changes in the higher education of tourism as more institutions started offering a degree in tourism. In fact, tourism became one of the most popular subjects among both university students and persons seeking retraining. The boom reached professionals with a PhD degree as well since in order to have their tourism major accredited, it was indispensable for universities and colleges to employ lecturers with an academic degree. The present study describes the progress made in the education of tourism in Hungary over a period of nearly 50 years. It evaluates each subperiod, with specific emphasis on the decade between 2007-2018. The research is based on the analysis of national and international scholarly literature, the dissertations of PhD candidates available at the MTA library, in the database of the Hungarian Doctoral Council, as well as the publications uploaded to the MTMT database. The study provides a comprehensive overview of how PhD degree holders who were trained in the Hungarian system and wrote their dissertation on a tourism-related subject have integrated into the academic sphere.

Volunteers are indispensable in the organization of international mega sport events. Their activity is really important not only during these world-level meetings, but also after the competition has ended, as they play an important role in furthering the life of the events and in maintaining interest in the host location. Although the practice of volunteering in Hungary is still in its infancy, its social status and popularity are developing dynamically. The 2017 FINA Championships in Budapest is considered to be a milestone in the evolution of Hungarian volunteer work. The volunteers took part in a variety of roles in order to facilitate the biggest international event in “water sports”. During the two-week-long competition, more than 3500 volunteers from more than 560 towns and cities provided their help enthusiastically to ensure that everything was perfect both for the athletes and the tourists. After the conclusion of the championships we conducted an online questionnaire and more than 400 volunteers filled the online form. As part of this research we were looking to answer how and in what capacity the volunteers played a role in tourism in the Hungarian capital. Our results showed that during the championships volunteers not only acted as tourists themselves, but also contributed significantly to world-of-mouth marketing, and were both the users of the different services being provided, and producers of an image of Budapest. In March of 2018 we conducted a second investigation and asked the volunteers once again to measure and compare the changes in their attitude about volunteer work.

In order to propose a repositioning toolkit, this research addresses the essence of the daytime tourism milieu of the Hungarian capital Budapest’s nightly party zone and formulates the following two research questions: (1) What are the available elements of the daytime tourism milieu of Budapest’s party zone? and (2) How can this milieu enhance tourist experience for leveraging a sense of place in a future post-Covid-19 era? The data for this research were collected with the help of 85 undergraduates, who were given the task of taking 3 photos, as if they were tourists, aiming to capture the best reflection of the daytime tourism milieu of Budapest’s party zone. A database of 255 photos was analysed through visual content analysis. Additionally, each image was assigned a location of the photo, five hashtags and a short description. The descriptions of the photos were analysed by Python programming and calculations. The findings show the most important research outcomes concerning Budapest’s party zone, focusing on the daytime values of the district. The research identified the “creative milieu”’, “Jewish heritage milieu” and “gastronomic milieu” as the most important daytime profiles of the party zone. Based on the findings, the authors propose a repositioning toolkit and a strategy which, on the one hand, will develop a stronger sense of place in the case of the tourism milieu of Budapest’s party zone and, on the other hand, will position the party zone not only as a place of nightlife but also as a venue of daytime tourism.

Young adults spend most of their leisure time in the company of their smartphones. Drawing on the theory of digital well-being and on the concept of psychological sustainability, our aim is to investigate the relationship between digitalization-dominated leisure-time consumption to identify the aggregated roles of smartphones. We suggest that smartphones play different roles in young adults’ daily life. To test our predictions, we used a qualitative method, a two-day time-use diary with structured interviews, two sample groups were recruited for data gathering. The results of the content analysis and of the qualitative sentiment analysis show that mobile devices have a marked agenda-setter function, along with the functions of ‘separator’ and ‘enabler’. The use of smartphones leads to idleness and perceived timelessness while staying physically immobile. Results expand our knowledge on the aggregated role of smartphones in young adults’ activities. Wider society can benefit from the research findings, stimulating young adults to acknowledge the aggregated roles and functions of their smartphones and to develop their digital well-being.

The regime change, the South Slavic civil war, global recession and their political, economic and social consequences had a significant impact on the tourism market of South-east Europe and the Balkan region. Many potential visitors to the region were affected by their negative associations with past events, even those that happened many years ago. The image of the Balkan region has become at times almost synonymous with conflict, turmoil and unrest. However, these perceptions may be changing and are therefore worthy of exploration. The article provides a tourism oriented analysis of the area’s image as a tourism destination. In accordance with the literature, the perceptions are measured by using a customer-based approach. Internet-based social media encourages the sharing of recent tourism experiences which can confirm or change associations with destinations. This study provides a content analysis of comments from one of the most popular travel portals (TripAdvisor) including key elements of the Balkan region’s image. The results of the research show theoretical implications like the importance of emotional image elements, the role of locals, or the complexity of tourism experience. From a practical point of view, the conclusions can induce long term thinking about the selected destination’s branding, and motivation for further research, as well.
