The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) is changing today's world. Globally, 64 percent of all migrant travellers has migrated for employment. However, traditional models of employment are increasingly replaced by new developments associated with 4IR technologies. This height of technological advancements in some aspects are creating inadvertent challenges. A major development in the travel and tourism sector in the 4IR, is the disruption of the traditional tourism accommodation model of renting space. Challenging this model, Airbnb became operational from 2009, as a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique accommodations around the world. While the pre-travel stage is highly influenced by developments such as platforms and market places for researching and booking, the experience in the travel stage is closely intertwined to border control. The 4IR can add length and breadth to increase efficiency in border control by overhauling individual privacy and identity management related to border control, and address issues such as queues, wait time, airline efficiency, and customer experience. A technology that is increasingly used in identity management and individual privacy is blockchain. Blockchain is a public database or chain that stores cryptographically linked digital information, which is called a 'block'. The security feature of blockchain is the unique identifier called 'hash', which stores cryptographic hash of the previous block, linking all blocks into a chain. Due to its design, tampering with data in a block is nearly impossible.

Economic growth in Maldives increased from 6.9% in 2017 to an estimated 7.6% in 2018. Expansion in tourism, construction activities, and supporting services contributed to this growth. Tourist arrivals increased in 2018 despite a decline in tourists from the People's Republic of China, Maldives' largest tourism source market; the increase is attributed to new flights, and increased frequency of flights from Europe. Construction has also contributed to growth, fueled by the government's Public Sector Investment Program and private sector-led developments. Growth in 2019 and 2020 is expected to remain robust, averaging 6.4% on account of projected steady tourist arrivals and continued public investments, which will expand at a slower rate. Following the 23 September 2018 presidential election in Maldives, a new administration was set up under a coalition of four political parties. The new government is focused on providing basic needs—such as affordable housing, clean water, and adequate sewerage—as one of its top priorities. The government pledged to provide these services in all inhabited islands by the end of its 5-year term. Decentralization is also a key priority; local councils will be empowered, and substantial changes will be made to reduce congestion in Malé and make it more livable. However, development of the Greater Malé Area will continue to be given high priority as the government plans to relocate the main port to Gulhifalhu and construct new housing projects. The government requested Asian Development Bank (ADB) assistance to formulate a new 5-year national development plan. ADB will prepare its new country partnership strategy based on the national development plan.

Este libro es considerado como un aporte significativo al entendimiento de la historia económica de Colombia en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Los principales analistas que han examinado el período 1900-1940 lo citan como una fuente importante para sus investigaciones. A pesar de su relevancia, este texto no se consigue en las librerías hace varias décadas y las personas interesadas en leerlo tienen que buscar un ejemplar en las grandes bibliotecas públicas o en las universitarias. Esta circunstancia motivó al Comité Editorial de esta colección a recomendar su reedición. Debo confesar que la primera vez que tuve la oportunidad de examinar con detenimiento un ejemplar de esta magnífica publicación fue en 1973, en una de las oficinas de la Federación de Cafeteros. Quedé gratamente sorprendido por la riqueza de su información sobre el país y por la alta calidad de su edición. Muchos años más tarde logré conseguir un ejemplar, con un librero especializado en este tipo de joyas históricas.
