Tourism is one of the most important economic sectors in the last decades. It has been growing for a long period, during which a number of new types of destinations has been attracted by its efervescensy and by the positive effects of tourism on the development of various countries and regions. Societies and economies around the world have been increasingly eager to adopt sustainable principles and practices, and tourism, in this context, as a dinamic economic sector, has benefited from the discovery of new resources which could lay the foundation for further growth. Thus, nature-based tourism is now of greater interest, especially since it is a significant component of sustainable development, through its contribution to the innovative and responsible use of existing natural resources. The present study highlights the role of cultural values of different countries which are currently developing their ecotourism sector, from the perspective of the World Value Survey model, showing that societies where tolerance, receptiveness, autonomy, involvement in decision-making processes, civic responsibility and even religious faith are the foundation for the prevailing set of values, the necessary conditions for the development of this type of tourism are to be found as well.

This translates into an original, bespoke, and meaningful cultural experience provided to the consumer, while staying true to the objectives advocated by each cultural organization. This article is a literature review aimed at highlighting key phases in the development of marketing in the arts and the cultural events sector.

Romania ranks 2nd in the EU in the number of teenage pregnancies. Annually, globally in developing areas, approximately 21 million adolescent girls between the ages of 15 and 19 become pregnant, and about 12 million of them give birth. These data do not include the pregnancies of adolescents who have abortions (Nanu, Stativa, Valceanu, Otelea, n.a.). The main cause of mortality in females, the age group 15-19 years is represented by complications during pregnancy and childbirth (World Health Organization, 2020; Neal, Matthews, Frost, Fogstad, Camacho, & Laski, 2012). Pregnancy in adolescents was associated with double risk factors, maternal and fetal, with a much higher prevalence than in the other age groups that presented pregnancy. Romani traditions and customs influence the lives of young women. More acute than the rest of the population is the need for intervention through education programs and access to health care among Romani adolescents (Roman, Gramma, Enache, & Pârvu, 2012; Hanssens, Devisch, Lobbestael et al., 2016).

The nature of work is certainly changing, but from a historical perspective this is not new. The rate of change is faster today, and change is the rule not just an exception over time. This paper shows that an Internet-based business model is becoming more common, and this does not mean the end of organizational employment relationships, but supports the need for greater flexibility of jobs and workers. The study of work and employment, as well as the variability of wider environmental and contextual changes in the nature of paid work and employment relations, are relevant to the functioning of a modern economy. Providing an overview of key trends can help to understand the nature of labor relations in the modern economy. The paper presents examples of both change and continuity in the field of work relations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on businesses, regardless of the sector they operate in, and the long-term recovery is still unclear. The pandemic has led businesses, large and small, to analyze more carefully the environment and the way their employees work. Although OSH requirements have been in place for many years, the pandemic has helped increase recognition of the importance of worker safety, health and well-being in any workplace. Organizations' human and financial resources are increasingly limited. As a result, the available resources must be used economically and efficiently, to avoid, eliminate or control the dangers and risks derived from them. Managers direct all activities of an enterprise and the results contribute to its safety culture. Safety is driven by culture, and management creates organizational culture, so everything that happens or does not happen in terms of safety practice is a reflection of an organization's culture. Sustainable growth encourages organizations to continuously improve all aspects of their business. In the vast majority of organizations, there is no advanced safety culture, so convincing management that safety should be one of the organization's core values is a must-achieve.
