This approach includes strategies to mitigate and manage natural disasters, such as natural hazard zoning and emergency preparedness plans, as well as addressing issues related to pandemics and other global health crises through investments in healthcare infrastructure and public health measures. Structural vulnerabilities in the economy, such as income inequality and lack of access to education and training, must also be addressed.</p> <p>To achieve economic resilience and sustainability, policies must support individuals, businesses, and communities in becoming more resilient to external risks and shocks. Continuous monitoring, assessment, and updating of these policies are essential to ensure their effectiveness. The Journal of Resilient Economies (JRE) provides a platform to advance these concepts by offering a multidisciplinary focus and a wide range of perspectives to better understand the challenges of building a resilient economy.</p> <p>JRE is committed to accessibility and inclusivity, operating as a Platinum Open Access journal that does not charge readers or authors for access to its articles. This ensures that research is immediately and permanently available to all. Furthermore, JRE actively contributes to the literature on the connection between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) , particularly SDG8 and economic resilience, aligning with its commitment to the SDGs and promoting sustainable development.</p> <p><strong>Publisher: Who funds this Journal?</strong></p> <p>Publication infrastructure and maintenance of JRE is fully supported by <a href="https://libguides.jcu.edu.au/openaccess/OJS">James Cook University Open Journal Systems (OJS)</a>, driven by the belief that knowledge has the power to change lives, and that research outputs should be freely accessible online, without barriers.</p> <p>JRE aims to make the academic research available:</p> <ul> <li>online</li> <li>immediately</li> <li>without charge</li> <li>free from most copyright or licensing restrictions</li> </ul> <p>Read the complete version of JCU Open Access Policy and related documents <a href="https://libguides.jcu.edu.au/openaccess/open-access-policy">here</a>.</p> https://journals.jcu.edu.au/index.php/jre/announcement/view/48 New Issue Published: The Hospitality Industry and Its Role in Resilient Economies 2024-08-28T19:21:41+10:00 Journal of Resilient Economies (ISSN: 2653-1917) <p>We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of the Journal of Resilient Economies has been published.

This issue will be enriched with the expertise of our guest editor, <a href="https://research.jcu.edu.au/portfolio/josephine.pryce/">Associate Professor Josephine Pryce</a>.</p> <h1><sub>Enhancing Regional Resilience: The Role of Hospitality Services in Sustaining Communities</sub></h1> <p>The hospitality industry is a multi-faced and integral sector of economies worldwide. It has a sustained history heralding back to the ancient Greeks and Romans and includes a diversity of services, businesses and experts that work independently and integrative to provide a complexity of experiences. The business activities of the hospitality industry include food and beverage services, accommodation options, recreational facilities (such as theme parks and entertainment venues), and travel entities (e.g., transport).</p> <p>Statistics from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC, 2024) show that for 2022, the travel and tourism sector (for which hospitality services are a driver) contributed 7.6% of the global GDP, with 22 million new jobs. Data from the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO, 2023) show that for the first quarter of 2023, there was an estimated 235 million travellers internationally. </p> <p>With such a vast array of facets, the hospitality industry encounters several challenges, including economic volatility and market fluctuations, labour shortages and staffing issues, competition and saturation, changing consumer trends, technological transformations, environmental sustainability, regulatory compliance, accessibility, cultural sensitivities, supply chain issues, health and hygiene standards and security and safety concerns (Bronotte, 2023). As ways to address these challenges and for the sector to remain viable, there is a need to look beyond traditional approaches and to consider ways in which resilience can be enhanced to ensure the sustainability of communities. The importance of resilience in the hospitality industry has already garnered some discussion (Hall et al., 2023). This special issue goes a step further and seeks studies that recognise the role of hospitality services in enhancing regional resilience through its importance in sustaining communities.</p> <p>One option for consideration is reshaping the idea of travel through development and promotion of ‘staycations’ (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2023) as a way to appreciate and support local business and communities. Other initiatives could include focusing on reforming hospitality jobs to elevate hospitality careers rich in experiences that appreciate human connections and advance personal development. Similarly, the future of the hospitality industry should embrace and extend initiatives and strategies relating to sustainability and corporate social responsibility, as consumers look for experiences that value such mindsets. Equally, resilience and sustainability in the hospitality industry can be optimised through local supply chains as awareness of the vulnerabilities in global supply chains, have heightened the importance of regional supply chains.</p> <p>The future of the hospitality industry is dependent on the value of its services to society and communities. The vital role that hospitality services play during crises emphasises the increasing importance of local collaborations and partnerships between hotel services and nearby nonprofit organisations and social initiatives to bring positive impacts on communities. Indeed, the resilience of communities encompasses the ability of hospitality services and other organisations to withstand shocks, adapt to change, and recover from disruptions.</p> <p>This special issue provides opportunities to address the above issues and welcomes contributions that explore how hospitality services can enhance regional resilience and sustain communities. Contributions can address:</p> <ul> <li>The role of ‘staycations’ in enhancing regional resilience and sustainability.</li> <li>Technological advances and applications to promote the creation, interaction and delivery of hospitality services as a mechanism for enhancing resilience of communities.</li> <li>Sustainable business practices in hospitality services that promote and sustain regional resilience.</li> <li>Creating sustainable supply and value chains in hospitality services that are committed to promoting resilience in communities.</li> <li>Hospitality services as a mechanism for socio-ecological resilience of communities: implementing partnerships with social initiatives that emphasise fostering resilience.</li> <li>Ensuring resilience in communities through growing of talent for the hospitality services.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>References </strong></p> <p>Bronotte, M.

Not only do we need policies that are best supported by measures of accountability and effective monitoring of the intervention measures but also we need to improve our understanding of the concept of resilience by developing innovativemethodologies to assess sources of future risks, improve our social and economic systems' capacities to cope and their ability to recover relatively quickly. Accordingly, this issue focuses on re-imagining economic resilience in post-COVID era.</p> 2022-03-01T09:33:45+10:00 https://journals.jcu.edu.au/index.php/jre/announcement/view/37 Last issue of 2021 2022-01-01T11:39:11+10:00 Journal of Resilient Economies (ISSN: 2653-1917) <p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Our last issue of 2021 has been published.
