欧洲购物轻松退税

退税是一些旅游国家为了吸引游客购物,提高产品出口额,而采取的一项在境外游客购物达到一定金额后退回商品增值税款的措施。 在欧洲购物,由于各国对所有的非必需品都征收增值税(Value Added Tax,简称为VAT),为了吸引境外游客购物,提高营业额,非欧盟国家游客在同一天、同一家商店里购物,如果所购的物品不在当地使用,并于3个月内携带离境,只要到达一定的数额(一般为一百五十欧元左右,各国和各城市商店的情况都略有不同,可直接询问商店的营业员)都可以申请退税。退税额一般为商品价的15-16％,有些已打折的商品可能会更低一些。

从"零团费"和"霸王条款"说起

“零团费”的出现 ,是旅行社降低直观价格进行市场竞争的极端行为。旅游主管部门大张旗鼓打击“零团费”的行动引发了对政府旅游质量问题监管方式的思考。“零团费”本身并没有什么“原罪” ,它只是一种低质低价产品 ,如同市场上的地摊货。如果仅仅因为其质量不高而对其禁止 ,是缺乏法律依据的。“零团费”的危害之处不在自身的低质量 ,而在于旅行社涉嫌“欺诈”。很多游客在购买时仅仅了解商品的名称 (如XX几日游 ) ,对行程并不了解 ,更不用说某些“后台操作规则”。在“零团费”的案例中 ,旅行社剥夺了游客对行程中有关购物次数和商店信…

Human Resource Management,Job Satisfaction,Morale, Optimism,and Turnover

ABSTRACT

This article examines the usage of nine human resource management (HRM) practices among 46 hotels in San Diego. Results showed that the hotels in the sample use training and development to bring employees up to an acceptable level of performance, and then rely on allowing employee a voice to keep them engaged. Usage of HRM varied by hotel types (e.g., resorts vs. economy), and the practices had a statistically significant relationship with job satisfaction, morale, and optimism about the future of the hotel. These attitudes, in turn, were significantly related to turnover intentions. Implications of the results are discussed.     

Adventure tourism products: Price, duration, size, skill, remoteness

To test whether commercial tourism products in different adventure activity sectors have different functional characteristics, I took part in tours offered by 75 operators worldwide and analysed price per person per day, duration, prior skill requirements, remoteness, group size and client-to-guide ratios. There is an enormous range of variation. Some activities overlap but some are clearly distinguishable, on commercial as well as operational criteria. Products can be arranged on a scale from low volume, high difficulty, high price to high volume, low difficulty and low price. There are recognisable signatures for some subsectors, but not all.     

Tourism,smart specialisation,growth, and resilience

This work analyses the implications of tourism dynamics and smart specialisation strategies on growth and socioeconomic resilience of European regions where tourism is a regional priority. By using a panel data model for 2006–2017, phases of growth, recession, and recovery are scrutinised. A convergence process is identified, with higher growth rates for less-developed regions; however, the most developed regions are more resilient. Tourism demand is positively correlated with growth and resilience but a high share of tourism within regional employment has negative impacts on both. Specialisation patterns combining tourism with agriculture have positive effects in both cases. Diversification strategies including unrelated sectors contribute to increased resilience in these regions, and a prioritisation of construction reduces regional resilience.     

Ethnicity,Acculturation, Self-Construal,and Motivations for Outdoor Recreation

Research on the leisure of racial and ethnic groups has recently been criticized for a variety of different reasons. In response to some of these concerns, this article examines the motivations of outdoor recreationists who identify themselves as being Chinese ( n = 53); it compares their motivations with those of Euro-North Americans ( n = 180) at the same outdoor setting; and it does so using the construct of self-construal as an intervening variable between ethnicity, acculturation, and motivations for outdoor recreation. According to Markus and Kitayama (1991), individuals with independent self-construals value being unique, expressing themselves, and promoting their own goals, whereas individuals with interdependent self-construals value belonging, fitting in, and promoting others' goals. Furthermore, although people in or from Western Europe and North America are more likely to have independent self-construals, people in or from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Southern Europe are more likely to hold interdependent self-construals. On the basis of the above, a series of regressions were conducted. Results suggest that (a) ethnicity does affect both types of self-construal; (b) ethnicity does affect four outdoor recreation motivations directly, although this relationship is usually, but not always, mediated by self-construal; (c) ethnicity does affect four other recreation motivations indirectly, either through the interdependent self-construal or through both types of self-construal; and (d) with Chinese respondents, acculturation did affect one recreation motivation directly and, through the independent self-construal, two other motivations indirectly.
