Communicating the Economic Value of TourismAileen Murray
Here's a copy of my presentation at the Ontario's Southwest Conference in 2014. Communicating the contribution of tourism to the local economy can be a challenge.

Industri pariwisata yang terdiri dari bisnis pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif dilaporkan sebagai sektor yang paling terdampak pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Pandemi yang telah berlangsung selama lebih dari 2 tahun sejak pertama kali masuk Indonesia pada tahun 2020 hingga awal tahun 2022 membawa dampak buruk pada seluruh sektor termasuk bisnis terkhusus pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan laporan Kementerian Pariwisata pada tahun 2019-2020 dimana imbas dari terjadinya COVID-19 adalah penurunan jumlah wisatawan internasional yang menyebabkan menurunnya tingkat okupansi hotel di Indonesia yang signifikan hinga 28.66%, bisnis MICE yang mengalami kerugian hingga 2.69 triliun dan 50 ribu pekerja kreatif di industri pariwisata terancam kehilangan pekerjaan, pembatalan tiket pesawat, dan penurunan penjualan langsung souvenir tenun ikat NTT sampai 85%. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya-upaya pemulihan bagi pengelola unit usaha bisnis pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif salah satunya melalui penerapan online platform untuk pemasaran produk pariwisata.
Pandemi COVID-19 mendorong akselerasi digital. Melalui platform online digital, konsumen tetap tekoneksi satu sama lain. Teknologi digital telah menjadi katalisator yang membantu konsumen beraktivitas di tengah pembatasan sosial. Saat ini, mayoritas konsumen mulai mampu menggunakan online platform dan hal ini merupakan peluang bagi unit bisnis pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif untuk membangkitkan kembali usahanya termasuk bagi industri pariwisata di Kota Kupang yang mengalami dampak yang sama.
Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif melalui pendekatan instrumen penelitian yakni pedoman wawancara yang dilakukan pada pengelola unit bisnis pariwisata di Kota Kupang. Adapun pengelola unit bisnis pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif yang menjadi sasaran dalam penelitian ini adalah sejumlah 10 unit usaha. Adapun informasi yang ingin diperoleh adalah mengenai karakteristik usaha, dampak pandemi pada usaha, dan upaya-upaya dalam meningkatkan kembali volume usaha terutama dengan menggunakan online platform. Jenis data dalam penelitian ini terbagi menjadi dua yakni jenis data kuantitatif dan jenis data kualitatif. Jenis data kuantitatif dikumpulkan melalui pemanfaaatan data di website dan statistik yang ada sedangkan data kualitatif diperoleh langsung dari pengelola unit usaha.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
