  • 3. Accommodation Services
    11 3. Accommodation services When one travels to another city or country, one usually has different needs and demands for the destination one is travelling to. Trying to meet these needs and demands is what comprises the tourism industry. The tourism industry can be divided into main sectors; hospitality, attractions and event, transport, travel organizers and intermediaries and destination organization sectors. All of these sectors can be thought of as range of businesses and organizations involved in delivering the tourism product and the travel experience. Hotels of course are a part of the hospitality sector and as such are major essential supply components of tourism. (Middleton, Fyall & Morgan 2009:10-11) A hotel is a place that offers its facilities and services for sale. The services can vary from just one to various combinations that can all be thought of as a part of the total market concept of the hotel. The basic total market concept consists of five elements as shown in figure 1. Figure 1 Market concept of a hotel. (Medlik & Ingram 2000:14) 12 Location is usually the main element, thus being in the center of the market concept circle, that the visitor takes into account when choosing a hotel. Location places the hotel geographically into a certain area; for example near a particular city or village. And if one wants to go to that specific city one has to choose the hotel within that area. Where the hotel is situated denotes the accessibility and convenience of the location, attractiveness of the surroundings and other factors that the visitor sees as appealing when choosing a hotel.

  • Europe Re-Opening by Country
    Europe Re-Opening by Country Overview As European countries re-open, Schengen Area countries have mostly excluded U.S. travelers from entry, with some exceptions (see previous OSAC reporting). While each European country periodically reviews the list of “safe countries,” there is no indication if/when U.S. travelers will be able to conduct normal travel to these locations. The EU reported that its criteria relate to the epidemiological situation and containment measures, including physical distancing, as well as economic and social considerations in each country, applied cumulatively. Countries should meet the following criteria in particular: • Close to or below the EU 14-day average, as it stands on June 14, of the rate of new COVID-19 cases; • The trend of new cases over the same period in comparison to the previous 14 days is stable or decreasing; and • The overall response to COVID-19, taking into account available information on aspects such as testing, surveillance, contact tracing, containment, treatment, and reporting, as well as the reliability of available information and data sources; and if needed, the total average International Health Regulations (IHR) score across all dimensions. Those travelers who do not fit into an exemption category – most potential travelers from the United States are subject to restrictions – must wait for the EU to issue a new list, based on the criteria above, to enter one of the 27 EU member states. Private-sector security managers should remember that this restriction does not affect travel to the United Kingdom. Europe Re-Openings Each U.S. Embassy continues to update its COVID-19 information page for the latest entry/exit, testing, and quarantine requirements, where applicable.

  • Incomplete Hegemonies, Hybrid Neighbours: Identity Games and Policy Tools in Eastern Partnership Countries Andrey Makarychev
    Incomplete Hegemonies, Hybrid Neighbours: Identity games and policy tools in Eastern Partnership countries Andrey Makarychev No 2018/02, February 2018 Abstract This paper applies the concepts of hegemony and hybridity as analytical tools to help understand the structural changes taking place within the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries and beyond. The author points to the split identities of many post-Soviet societies and the growing appeal of solutions aimed at balancing Russia’s or the EU’s dominance as important factors shaping EaP dynamics. Against this background, he explores how the post-Soviet borderlands can find their place in a still hypothetical pan-European space, and free themselves from the tensions of their competing hegemons. The EaP is divided into those countries that signed Association Agreements with the EU and those preferring to maintain their loyalty to Eurasian integration. Bringing the two groups closer together, however, is not beyond policy imagination. The policy-oriented part of this analysis focuses on a set of ideas and schemes aimed at enhancing interaction and blurring divisions between these countries. The author proposes five scenarios that might shape the future of EaP countries’ relations with the EU and with Russia: 1) the conflictual status quo in which both hegemonic powers will seek to weaken the position of the other; 2) trilateralism (EU, Russia plus an EaP country), which has been tried and failed, but still is considered as a possible option by some policy analysts; 3) the Kazakhstan-Armenia model of diplomatic advancement towards the EU, with some potential leverage on Russia; 4) deeper engagement by the EU with the Eurasian Economic Union, which has some competences for tariffs and technical standards; and 5) the decoupling of security policies from economic projects, which is so far the most difficult option to foresee and implement in practice.

To date, it has taken place on a small scale, mostly outside of the state’s repatriation system. Thousands of people with a promised repatriation visa are still waiting to be repatri- ated. The majority of the repatriates come from Kazakhstan, home to the largest popu- lation of descendants of Poles in the Asian part of the former USSR. They come to Poland not only for sentimental reasons, but also in search of better living conditions. However, repatriates—in particular older ones—experience a number of problems with adaptation in Poland, dominated by financial and housing-related issues. A further source of difficulties for repatriates, alongside their spatial dispersion, insufficient lin- guistic and cultural competencies, and identity problems, is finding a place on and adapting to the Polish labor market. Despite their difficult situation and special needs, the repatriates in Poland are not sufficiently supported due to the inefficiency of admin- istration and non-governmental institutions dealing with the task of repatriates’ integration. It results in the anguish of repatriation. Keywords: repatriation; repatriates from Kazakhstan; Polish integration policy; immigration to Poland; Polish minority in the former USSR Introduction Over two decades after the beginning of the transformation of the political and economic system in Poland, repatriation remains an unresolved issue.

  • The Case of Belarusians Acquiring Karta Polaka
    ETHNIC IDENTIFICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF AN ALTERNATIVE STATE MEMBERSHIP REGIME: THE CASE OF BELARUSIANS ACQUIRING KARTA POLAKA By Volha Biziukova Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: professor Dan Rabinowitz professor Ayşe Çağlar CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2013 Abstract This thesis deals with the ethnic identification of Belarusian citizens who applied for the Karta Polaka (The Pole’s Card), a type of alternative state membership regime introduced by Poland. The membership in two countries conditions a specific situation for ethnic identification. In the present research I consider the biographic dynamics of ethnic identification in connection with the cultural practices and family stories, the trajectories of identification and the construction of the categories of affiliation. The analysis is made on the basis of the in-depth interviews with the applicants for the Karta Polaka. The process of identification is contextualized in a broader structural and historical context. The narrative of the Karta Polaka affects the way the applicants assign themselves and their ancestors to the ethnic categories due to the introduction of bureaucratic discourse. The cultural practices changed dramatically through generations and at present moment cultural traits are not the strict criteria for the attribution to an ethnic category. The applicants affiliate themselves with several communities simultaneously but describe theirs ways of belonging using different tropes. The applicants follow multiple routes in their identification conditioned by the common structural and historical context along with individual biographical stories. The identification and the status of the Karta Polaka holders are characterized with exclusive and inclusive tendencies.

  • XXXIX Polish Yearbook of International Law 2019
    XXXIX POLISH YEARBOOK OF INTERNATIONAL LAW DOI 10.24425/pyil.2020.134481 2019 PL ISSN 0554-498X Wojciech Burek* CONFORMITY OF The ACT ON The POLIsh CARD WITH INTERNATIONal law FROM The peRspecTIVE OF The CONSTITUTIONal COURT OF BelaRUS Abstract: With the Act on the Polish Card Poland followed the pattern of some European states (mostly Central and Eastern European ones) of enacting specific domestic legislation conferring special treatment and benefits to persons who are recognized as its kin-minorities. The most important analysis of this phenomenon from the perspective of international law was the 2001 Venice Commission’s report entitled “Report on the Protection of National Minorities by their Kin-State.” The Polish legislation was adopted in 2007, so for obvious reasons it was not considered by the Venice Commission. However, a rather unexpected and unusual examination of the Polish kin-state legislation from the perspective of international law came from Belarus. The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Belarus (CCRB) conducted a comprehensive examination of the Act on the Polish Card in 2011. The main aim of this article is to present and comment on the reasoning of the CCRB. Beginning with the broader context, this article starts with a presentation of the origins and a short description of the Act on the Polish Card, followed by a discussion of why the Polish Card and other kin-state legislation instruments are topics of concern in international law. The main part of the article is devoted to the presentation and assessment of the 2011 CCRB decision on the Act on the Polish Card.
