Vol. 14 No. 1 (2020)

As we enter the New Year and the new decade the current issue of Business and Public Administration Studies (bpastudies.org) provides an expanded range of topics and some welcome new authors.  We start with the tourism piece written by an intently and passionately ambitious student of tourism at the Hainan University.  I had a joy and a privilege of teaching at the Hainan Island in Haikou last summer, 2019.Hainan is the southernmost province of China and is also the smallest in terms of land area.  Until 1988 it was part of Guangdong province. I invited all of my many students (there where three cohorts of some 30 plus students in each) to submit their papers for review and possible publication.  Only one responded and I congratulate him for his efforts.
