Cultural Tourism and Globalization
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the similarities in the development of countries in the context of tourism globalization. The study identifies countries with similar development trajectories as well as those with differing dynamics. A detailed analysis was conducted based on the Tourism Globalization Index. Dynamic programming was employed as the primary research tool. This algorithmic technique enables efficient problem-solving by structuring the problem into subproblems. A key aspect of this approach is the memorization of previously computed subproblems, which significantly reduces the number of required calculations. Among the various dynamic programming methods, the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) measure was selected for analysis. DTW is an algorithm used to assess the similarity between two time sequences that may vary in length and may be misaligned. Keywords: cultural tourism, globalization, integration
