The hospitality industry plays a significant role in regional development as its services are a prerequisite for tourism growth, which on the premises of sustainability has become a major contributor to socio-economic growth. Unfortunately, the hospitality industry has been continuously struggling with high employee turnover and a significant "within" and "out of" labour mobility, regardless of the phase of the business cycle, time, or geographical region. This could be reasoned by employees historically viewing offered jobs in the hospitality industry as low-paid, with little or no promotion possibilities, giving the employees little or no room for...

Nowadays, no one is questioning the fact that climate change is taking place, and this is partly due to anthropogenic emissions. Tourism also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions alongside large emitting sectors, but its impact is very challenging to quantify. For the Member States of the European Union, data on gross value added (GVA) and greenhouse gas emissions were used from the Eurostat database for the entire national economy and Section I (tourism) for the period 2008-2019. In our research, we aim to look for the phenomenon of absolute decoupling in the economy and tourism sector of the Member States of the European Union. Looking for states...

The need to take action to mitigate the effects of climate change is widely recognized by governments and economic actors around the world. Likewise, an awareness of a more holistic approach to financing policy goals, so that all social, economic, and environmental aspects receive adequate consideration, has been on the rise, too.

The migration of health care workers is a longstanding process which causes shortages in the sending countries. The Eastern enlargements of the European Union strengthened the East-West migration flows causing serious political controversies and jeopardising medical services. Hungary is also heavily affected by these processes and in the last 10 years; thousands of doctors and nurses left the country. Managing migration processes requires complex policy answers with the involvement of actors from various spatial scales – but most of the studies on medical migration from Hungary focuses on the national scale. To fill this research gap, this study...
