Guests

Dominica, “the Nature Island of the Caribbean” as unknown for the Western countries, is rich in the natural and cultural resources without any industrialization and for its moderate economic sector, is prepared to diversify its economy with the Tourism Sector now.
The Island had been affected by the Hurricane Maria in 2017, and prior to that the tropical storm Erika in 2015. After facing the subsequent tragedies, the Island could save only 70 thousand inhabitants through the recoveries done.
With a well-planned mid-range level hospitality service, this destination is keen to compete with the neighbor Caribbean Islands. Mass tourism and a strong market position in the world of travel market for the famous Caribbean Islands are supposed to prevent the assets, and therefore a compatible political framework of the Island is bound to develop.
The major benefit of Dominica is considered to be its profound yet ultimate change of Travel Industry from the masses to personalized tourism-related products and avenues. Such are the opportunities which Dominica is geared up to avail by developing and practicing the digitally integrated environmental, social and economically sustainable Tourism avenues.
Furthermore, the holistic nature and social environment untouched by the commercialized tourism sector is a perfect match for the tourists, hybrid customers and or digital nomads as the ultimate facilitators.
The idea to develop a sustainable strategy for Dominica by using Airbnb came after discovering more than 400 listings. The Hotel Industry, with only 42 certified Hotels, is overturned by the largest peer to peer accommodation provider in the world. Having to stay that 50% of the certified Hotels are listing their rooms on Airbnb itself. The sharing economy platform with the transnational strategy and customer centricity which owes its market dominance by offering web and mobile friendly online community marketplace for the Hosts and Guests, and with the transparent dual charging and rating systems, the present cannot ignore anymore.
For local micro-entrepreneurs to the drifters, business travelers, as Guests and Hosts, for the hybrid consumers, and indigenous minorities and much more, no other system makes it easier to travel, operate and meet the like-minded individuals at the same level.
Airbnb can thereby be a factual threat for the traditional Hotel Industry and governance, but contemporarily it offers numerous opportunities for sustainable development. The search had had a very real effect and positive impact for the Discover Dominica Authority and the country through the signing of a contract between Airbnb and Dominica.
This research investigates the usability of Airbnb in Dominica and its positive impact on the economic prosperity and a link to the global Tourism Sector. The process should contribute to a better understanding of Airbnb as a sharing economy. In the end, strategies should assist in developing a suitable solution to enhance a cooperative agreement between Dominica and Airbnb.

The main aim of the Bosnian Church's research has largely relied on attempts to devise mysterious titles within its church hierarchy. All past attempts to link the title of "guest" to dualistic churches in the West and East, or to the Catholic and Orthodox Church have failed and have no reliance on sources. It is certain that this is an original title inherent in Bosnian medieval spirituality, which probably would have to rely on early Christian practice of hospitality. This hypothesis was also suggested by some earlier researchers pointing to the equivalence of the term "stranger" and "guest" in the sources, also prominent in Old and New Testament abound with the many uses of these terms. Knowing that God in the Bible reveals Him through the incarnating Christ in a role of stranger or a guest in the homes of people, it is appropriate to assume that the concept of "hospitality", "home" (hiža) and "hospitium" (gostinjac) is of crucial importance within Bosnian Church's Christian mysticism. In accordance with the etymology of the title "guests" it is reasonable to assume that their ecclesial activity was closely related to the missionary activities of preaching and spreading the Word on one very high level which required the community to have a great respect for them. It is known that Christ identified with the guests, that the service to the guest was equalized with the service of Christ Himself, that the reward for hospitality to the guest was eternal life and that the inhospitality toward the guest meant the eternal punishment. The spiritual activity of the guests had to have an emphasis on the theology of affirmation so characteristic for Christian mysticism. Precious information in this regard provides motives and messages on the stećak tombstones of "guests", where their ranks of service and honor are shown in the picture and in words.

Inhabitants from the Romance language group were an important factor in the rise of the economic and cultural level of life in Hungary in the middle ages. There used to be only one Slavic word for Romance ethnic groups, namely Vlach. In Latin sources of the time, the same practice of a single term for the latin-derived-languages-speaking population was used, with this term being Latins or Gaelian. The most important of all the ethnic groups were the Walloons. Their presence in Hungary has been dated back to the second half of the 11th century A. D. Their settlement, however, continued later on. In towns, they were mostly merchants. In rural areas, they became a significant force in the establishment and development of viticulture, especially the variety of Tokaj. In the territory of present-day Slovakia, their early settlements probably date back to the second half of the 12th century.

Since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011, millions of Syrians have been forced to migrate to neighboring countries. The majority of them have settled in Turkey. Despite this, few studies have focused on the bilateral relations between the Syrian guests and Turkish hosts in the land. This quantitative study, conducted in two cities in the eastern Mediterranean (Mersin and Adana), adds to the literature of an emerging and dynamic field of migration and refugee studies in Turkey and is our attempt to help close gaps in research. Although no direct discrimination or harsh hostilities between the two groups have been identified, Syrians seem to feel culturally close to their hosts. Turks, on the other hand, lack trust in Syrians and display views about them that are at times based on some negative stereotypes. We also found that for Turks, the Syrian problem is considered to be a temporary issue. While the temporal quality of discussions about the classic anthropological other often permeates academic discussions about immigrants and refugees, the lack of structured policies in Turkey, as well as the use of narratives and discourses to influence public opinion in its stead, has fed popular narratives about Syrians as passive recipients of charity and a transitory population. This occurs despite the probability that Syrians may in fact soon become a recognized and sizeable Arab-speaking minority in Turkey.
