    • Social science
      Social science is a broad field that studies society and the relationships among individuals within a society. It encompasses various disciplines that examine different aspects of human behaviour, culture, and institutions. Here's a brief overview of some key areas within social science:Sociology: The study of social behaviour, social institutions, and social structures. It looks at how individuals and groups interact, the roles they play, and the impact of societal norms and values.Anthropology: The study of human societies and cultures and their development. Anthropologists explore cultural practices, beliefs, and the evolution of human behaviour over time.Political Science: The study of politics, government systems, and political behaviour. It examines the functioning of political institutions, the behaviour of political actors, and the impact of policies on society.Economics: The study of how societies allocate resources and make economic decisions. It covers topics such as production, consumption, distribution of goods and services, and the functioning of markets.Psychology: The study of the human mind and behaviour. It looks at how individuals think, feel, and act, and explores topics such as cognition, emotions, and mental health.Geography: The study of the Earth's landscapes, environments, and the relationships between people and their environments. It includes both physical geography (natural features) and human geography (human activities and their impact on the environment).History: The study of past events and their impact on the present. Historians analyse historical documents, artefacts, and other sources to understand how societies have evolved.Linguistics: The study of language and its structure. Linguists examine how languages are formed, how they evolve, and how they are used in communication.Social science helps us understand the complexities of human behaviour and societal dynamics, providing valuable insights that can inform policies, improve social welfare, and foster a deeper appreciation of cultural diversity.

    • Social Tourism
      Tourism refers to the temporary travel of individuals outside their usual environment, an activity which is more common today than ever before. In 2022, there were more than one billion international tourist arrivals worldwide and international tourism receipts hit a new record of 837 billion euros, equalling to a 4% increase from the previous year. In addition, another five to six billion tourists are estimated to travel domestically every year. It is clear that the tourism industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, as it generates export earnings not only through international tourism receipts but also through international passenger transport. Consequently, international tourism accounts for 30% of the world’s exports of services, 6% of overall exports, and is ranked fifth as a worldwide export category, right after fuels, chemicals, food, and automotive products.
