    Sustainable development of tourism potential as the main factor of economic policy
    (2024) Gojaeva, Elmira; Gutium, Tatiana
    Sustainable formation and development of tourism and digital modification of this sector are important tasks facing the state. In developing and solving such problems, coordination, government efforts, and close partnership with the private sector are not just necessary but crucial. The productivity of local tourism destinations is an important factor in the state's economic policy. The growth of the travel and tourism industry is reflected in the increase in population demand for a broader range of goods and services than ever before, stimulating the manufacturing and service sectors and contributing to the growth of economic activity and consumption. This factor in the tourism sector, caused by the seasonal mass movement of tourists to specific tourist destinations and the increase in the number of tourists, supports the comprehensive economic development of the country's tourist destinations. The growing demand for tourism services is accompanied by the gradual formation of a distinct offer of tourism services, the number and structure of which require constant improvement of the relevant organizational and economic programs and organizations capable of orienting the services offered to tourists. One of the main negative factors that has significantly impacted the global travel industry was uncertainty caused by the coronavirus. Cross-border tourism has declined sharply as countries have imposed strict travel bans to limit the spread of the disease. The stagnation of global public life has affected the tourism industry and visits to restaurants, theater performances, and events.

    Deposit Refund Systems as effective tools for the circular economy transition: Evidence from the Republic of Moldova
    (2025) Perciun Rodica; Iordachi Victoria; Timofei Olga
    In the context of Moldova’s EU accession process, aligning with European environmental policies has become a priority. One of the most effective instruments for advancing the circular economy is the Deposit Refund System (DRS), which encourages the collection and reuse of packaging. Despite its proven efficiency in EU Member States, Moldova is still in the preparatory phase of implementing such a system. Understanding consumer perceptions is essential, since public acceptance and participation determine the system’s overall effectiveness.

    “Green economy” as a means of ensuring eco-friendly agricultural production
    (2024) Eminov, Anar; Gojaeva, Elmira; Gutium, Tatiana; Badalov, Bakhtiyar; Guliyeva, Gular
    In many countries, the deepening of the environmental problem and the increase of anthropogenic effects on the ecosystem makes it necessary to review the basics of traditional farming and transition to an ecologically oriented economy. This development is also strategically important in our country, so an unsoiled environment and “green” growth must be accepted as national priorities. In this paper, the characteristics of the green economy are studied, and the necessity of extension of the green economy is justified. The contemporary state of “green” evolution was clarified using the example of Azerbaijan's agro-food complex, and scientific reasons for ulterior progress in this domain were given. This research also displays the gravity of applying marketing concepts when producing eco-friendly agriculture and food products. The study shows that the provision of development under the condition of expecting the interests of consumers, businesses, and society applies the socio-ethical concept of marketing. The article clarified the ecological quality of life and the economy's environmental and resource efficiency. The factors of the transition of the country's economy to “green” development tracks have been clarified. This article also tested the hypothesis that an increase in energy resource prices during the energy crisis entailed, in the short term, an increase in the share of renewables combustible in net electricity production in Europe. The study proved that the energy crisis is not an obstacle to the development of both green energy and the green economy. Based on the study's results, stages of transition to green development were elaborated to ensure eco-friendly agricultural production.

    Greenwashing in the Era of Sustainability and Its Implications for Food Security
    (2025) Timofei Olga; Perciun Rodica; Iordachi Victoria; Stoian Eugeniu
    Greenwashing is the practice of companies that are practising the promotion of false or exaggerated images of environmental responsibility, thus affecting consumer trust and purchasing decisions. The food industry is a sector particularly susceptible to this phenomenon, due to the emphasis on “eco” products and aggressive green marketing.
