Abstract
The tourism sector is no longer just a social phenomenon for some individuals and groups only, but has also become to include recreational activities of economic, social, cultural and environmental dimensions, due to the arrival of hundreds of millions of tourists to various countries and tourist regions, which encouraged many countries to work to stimulate and replace tourism. To a real industry and a tool to achieve economic and social development, the tourism sector in Turkey has competitive capabilities that can enter the international trade arena in the era of globalization and the liberalization of services trade, but what is distinguished by Turkey in terms of natural resources And historical sites constitute a natural competitive advantage for them, in spite of this, its role is multiplied by modern developments in a world in which the competitiveness of international tourism that is based on technological innovations and information technology such as the Internet, electronic commerce and modern means of communication. Based on the above, the research assumed that the tourism sector depends on the surrounding environment, whether political, economic or social, and this affects it.

Perhaps among the most prominent results of this research, Turkey has become, in the last two decades, a destination for culture, the pursuit of knowledge, and the destination of medical tourism for many Arab countries, as well as leisure tourism for most countries of the world, and it relies heavily on a variety of historical sites and coastal resorts on the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
As for the most important proposals that came out of the research, it is the necessity to use tourism as an engine to achieve balanced regional development and raise the standard of living for less developed regions that possess tourism resources and resources.
Abstract
The study addresses the nature of the intertwined and integrated relationship between the organizational health of business organizations in the Iraqi tourism sector and strategic immunity, according to what these variables witness from the emergence of artificial intelligence with its capabilities and driving powers in supporting the organizational environment to predict potential risks and challenges during future periods, as well as increasing the level of transparency in the business environment and improving the integration of artificial intelligence in the organizational circle, starting from planning and passing through describing the nature of internal processes, reaching the achievement of targeted institutional goals. Thus, the three variables: artificial intelligence, strategic immunity, and organizational health are no longer just individual concepts, but have become institutionalized strategic tools prepared for the future.
One of the most important determinants of the current study lies in addressing an underexplored research area. To the best of our knowledge, there is a notable scarcity of prior studies that integrate strategic immunity, organizational health, artificial intelligence, and organizational culture within a unified framework. Existing Arab and international studies tend to examine these dimensions separately, rather than as interconnected drivers of digital organizational resilience.

Abstract
The balanced scorecard plays a crucial role in enhancing the reputation of organizations in general, and specifically in the tourism sector, where performance evaluation is a key aspect of their operations. The main objective of this study is to adopt modern performance evaluation concepts to bring about a qualitative improvement in performance assessment, not only from a financial standpoint but also from other intangible perspectives. This research was motivated by the necessity to evaluate business performance in order to strengthen the competitive position of organizations in a challenging environment. The study was conducted in several high-end hotels in Baghdad, revealing a lack of clarity in performance evaluation methods and a failure to utilize the balanced scorecard, which negatively impacted the status of the hotels. The literature review employed a descriptive approach, exploring the relationship between the balanced scorecard and organizational status. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 67 individuals (including directors, general managers, and department heads) to assess this relationship. The study yielded significant results, demonstrating a strong correlation between the balanced scorecard and the status of the organizations under investigation.
Abstract
Using the Chi-Square test paradigm, this study investigates the effects of the financial and human resource activities of businesses engaged in the tourism industry in the Erbil/Kurdistan-Iraq region. Using cross-sectional data and straightforward randomization approaches, data were gathered from 100 tourist destinations. The model is employed in the finance and human resources departments to examine the effects of economic crises on regional economic growth. The findings demonstrated that the tourism industry in the area is being significantly impacted by the economic slump during the crisis. The economic crisis had a detrimental effect on both the operations of the company and the economy of the region, as shown by the application of the streamlined simulation-based static analysis framework. The expansion of the tourism industry and the Kurdistan region's economy are being hampered by the deteriorating level of living and purchasing power. The findings indicate that there is no relationship between gender and the tourism industry, and this finding can be interpreted as meaning that gender has little to no influence on the industry. The outcome demonstrates that there is no association between age group, marital status, and the tourism industry. This implies that all demographic factors have negligible effects on the tourism industry. This outcome may possibly be related to the fact that the tourism business is still developing and/or that it is too early to forge these connections because this sector is new to the Kurdistan area. The findings also suggest a connection between employment and the tourism industry. However, the findings indicate that the variable has a big impact on tourism. Additionally, a statistically significant relationship exists between the tourism industry and the economic crisis, as shown by the relationship between tourism characteristics, which includes statements like, "We will cancel/postpone previously planned recruitment, salary increases will be lower than planned, our team is concerned about the viability of the business, finance is getting harder to obtain, and our forecast: profits will fall."
