Given its weak structure and vulnerability to even minor conflicts, it is uncertain how the tourism industry will respond to the current state of hostilities. Our analysis shows that the war's continuation, which began on February 24, 2022 (repetition), in Russia, which does not account for much of the demand for tourists in France, Spain, and Italy, did not have a significant impact on those countries' tourism. The objective of this study is to examine potential wartime consequences for France, Spain, and Italy's tourism relations. Additionally, recommendations were offered to the sector's players to maintain the growth of tourism in the abovementioned countries in the face of any potential impacts that could come from the study.

This study aimed to explore cultural differences in Azerbaijani managers using Hofstede's cultural dimensions as a framework. A total of 173 surveys were collected from managers in the city of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. Hofstede and Minkov's formulas for six dimensions (Power Distance, Individualism vs Collectivism, Masculinity vs Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long-vs Short-Term Orientation, and Indulgence vs Restraint) were used to analyze the data. The reliability analysis showed that the scale was reliable, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.811. The findings indicated that Azerbaijani managers have high perceptions of power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity but low levels of individualism and indulgence.

While many economic sectors were slowed or destroyed by technical advancements, the tourism industry had robust and quick expansion thanks to its significance in international trade, which led to increased investment and created a more competitive market. The development and marketing of a tourism product will enable the state to distinguish between different forms of socioeconomic relationships at the local level, not only within the context of domestic regional policy but also within that of cross-border cooperation with other nations (Kyrylov et al 2022). Developing nations with low production and high valueadded goods opt to use their tourist potential to offset the disadvantage they have in international trade. Indeed, with their investments, developing nations' share of tourism, which was 45% in 2015, is predicted to rise to 57% in 2030 (UNWTO 2017; Sarkhanov and Tutar 2021). Fifty-three percent of all worldwide tourism-related pursuits, according to the World Tourism Organization, are done for leisure and travel. From this perspective, the historical monuments, geographic position, climate, and natural elements of France, Spain, and Italy all have significant tourism potential. It cannot be said that these countries are among the most visited nations in the world in terms of the number of foreign visitors. Even though there is no drop in the number of foreign visitors arriving from Russia due to the diversification of travel demand for France, Spain, and Italy among various nations in 2019, the proportion of Russian visitors makes up 6% for France, 1.9% for Italy, and 1.5% for Spain. Compared to the data from the previous year, the proportion of Russian visitors to France and Italy has slightly increased, yet it cannot be claimed that Russian tourists contribute significantly to the GDP of France, Italy, or Spain. In this instance, a partial decline in the number of Russian tourists visiting all three nations has no negative effect on the tourism industries of those nations. In this case, it is clear that Russia's contribution to the demand for foreign travel to France, Spain, and Italy is not particularly significant. Due to Russia's significance to the tourist demands of the three nations, the study aims to objectively research the factors that influence Russian travel to these countries. The available research finds that no study has examined the desire for travel to France, Spain, and Italy in Russia. The study is made more creative by the lack of an empirical investigation in terms of the methodology. In this context, the second section discusses the significance of travel and tourism to the economies of France, Spain, and Italy, while the third section provides a survey of the literature, and the fourth section elaborates the model, data, and approach. The estimation findings are provided in the final section. 2. Method With the help of the document analysis approach, one of the descriptive statistical studies, a large number of textual and visual resources that might contribute to the study issue were obtained. As part of the research project, documents, publications, statements from influential figures in the tourism industry, press releases from the minister of tourism, official reports, statistical information from the World Tourism Organization, the OECD, Statista, news in the media, and interviews Abstract It is believed that various nations, including France, Spain, and Italy, have been impacted by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Given its weak structure and vulnerability to even minor conflicts, it is uncertain how the tourism industry will respond to the current state of hostilities.

Globally, the ability of organizations to be sustainable and competitive depends on considering cultural elements and understanding and respecting the beliefs, norms and values of their employees, customers, suppliers and collaborators from the different culture and being sensitive. This study aims to investigate the cultural scale of UNEC Academics in Azerbaijan based on the cultural dimensions put in place by Dutch sociologist Hofstede, who studies national and institutional intercultural interactions. In this context, in order to determine the cultural beliefs of Azerbaijan UNEC Academicians at the social level, the Five Dimensions of Cultural Values Scale developed by Hofstede et al. (2011) 's Five Dimensions of Cultural Values at the Individual level were used to determine the cultural dimensions with the data obtained as a result of a survey. As it appears as a result of the research, the academicians have low power distance, high uncertainty avoidance, they are collectivists, they are in longterm action in accordance with the dimension of Femininity. The cultural dimensions of Hofstede with the results of the research conducted on IBM employees form the basis of this study. In the study, firstly, the definition of the culture and then the definition of the profession will be made; later, the characteristics of Hofstede's cultural dimensions will be discussed.
