Резюме	Space-time path analysis applies Torsten Hagerstrand's time geography to the study of tourist activity. In his 1970 address 'What about people in regional science?', Hagerstrand argued that an individual's life can be traced as a continuous path through a coupled space-time, hemmed in by capability, coupling, and authority constraints, and visualized in a 'space-time aquarium.' Applied to tourism, each visitor's day becomes a space-time path whose shape is governed by how fast they can move, where and when they must be co-present with others, and the opening hours and access rules of attractions. Shoval and Isaacson brought this framework into modern tourism research with GPS-derived paths, and movement-pattern work such as McKercher and Lau's connects the recovered activity sequences to a typology of how tourists use a destination.	Destination network analysis treats a tourism destination as a network of interconnected stakeholders, firms, public agencies, intermediaries, and community actors, and studies its structure with the tools of social network analysis. The approach was consolidated by Noel Scott, Rodolfo Baggio, and Chris Cooper, whose 2008 book Network Analysis and Tourism: From Theory to Practice argued that a destination's competitiveness and capacity to coordinate depend not only on individual businesses but on the web of relationships that links them. By mapping who collaborates, exchanges information, or refers business to whom, the analysis reveals how cohesive a destination is, which organizations occupy central or brokering positions, and how the destination decomposes into sub-communities, providing an evidence base for destination governance and management.
