  • Impact of COVID-19 on International Silk Industry and Consumer Market Trends
    Impact of COVID-19 on International Silk Industry and Consumer Market Trends International Silk Union Secretariat April 29, 2020 Hangzhou China For the silk industry, every crisis is also a turning point, which can accelerate the innovative development and transformation. In 1845, the pebrine disease of Bombyx mori first broke out in Vaucluse, France, and then spread all over the world. It brought a devastating blow to the production in major sericulture countries and regions like Europe, Japan and China. Under the effort of well-known microbiologist Louis Pasteur and other scientists, they used the selection method to control microbial infections, the hazard rate of silkworm disease in most sericulture countries reduced from 20% in the mid-19th century to the level of 1%, which renewed confidence in the silk industry. The silk industry in France, China, Japan, India and other countries achieved sustainable development. The COVID-19 has been fierce since early 2020, international silk industry and consumer market have been severely hit. China, Italy, France, Brazil and other major silk producers/consumers have been severely affected by the epidemic. Enterprises in various countries faced more difficulties in epidemic prevention, resumption of work, orders, and markets, both the upstream and downstream industries of silk are facing a serious crisis. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 also prompts changes in the silk marketing channels and consumption patterns. Many companies combine the Internet and new technologies to innovate and develop, transform and upgrade to adapt to market changes, fighting the economic crisis brought about by the epidemic. In order to fully understand the impact of COVID-19 on the international silk industry, study the future trends of the silk industry and consumption, from March 11 1 to April 10, 2020, International Silk Union(ISU) launched the research of Impact of COVID-19 on International Silk Industry and Consumer Market Trends.

  • Tourism and Southeast Asian Rural Livelihood Trajectories: the Case of a Large Work Integration Social Enterprise in Siem Reap, Cambodia
    JOBNAME: JQRT PAGE: 1 SESS: 13 OUTPUT: Tue Dec 8 14:59:30 2020 Journal of Qualitative Research in Tourism, Vol. 1, No. 1, 2020, pp. 73–92 Tourism and Southeast Asian rural livelihood trajectories: the case of a large work integration social enterprise in Siem Reap, Cambodia Robin Biddulph* Human Geography Unit, University of Gothenburg, Sweden Livelihoods in rural Southeast Asia are widely divergent, but often characterized by a reduced role for agriculture and local natural resources. The diverse components of an expanding tourism industry can provide opportunities for rural households seeking more diversified livelihood strategies. Artisans Angkor is a tourism social enterprise employing over 800 artisans in rural Cambodia. This study analysed the benefits of formal employ- ment with Artisans Angkor by studying one village where six long-term Artisans Angkor employees lived, and comparing their situations with those of their direct peers. While income levels were often similar, significant benefits related to safe working conditions, social insurance and above all enabling young households to live together at home. This study provides insights into how qualitative research can contribute contextualized understandings of tourism employment’s livelihood effects. Keywords: social enterprise, tourism, rural livelihoods, Southeast Asia, Siem Reap 1 INTRODUCTION The rapid expansion of tourism into less developed country settings in recent decades has generated substantial economic, social and environmental impacts. Finding ways to ensure that these impacts can be harnessed in ways that are inclusive and pro-poor continues to be a key concern for tourism research (see for example Bakker/Messerli 2017; Mitchell/Ashley 2010; Scheyvens/Biddulph 2018; Sharpley 2016).
