Tourism is not only affected by pandemics and epidemics but also contributes to their spread, affecting not only tourists but also the communities in their destinations. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a new crisis, challenging the travel industry more than ever before. Several studies have suggested that there will be long-term severe effects that could continue for an unspecified period of time across the world, both medically, socially and economically.
Pandemics and Travel: COVID-19 Impacts in the Tourism Industry analyses the wider impacts of epidemics, diseases and virus outbreaks on tourism and mobility. Chapters examine a wide range of interrelated issues, including the concept of Health Risk and Tourism, the impacts of the recent COVID-19 crisis on tourism activity in several countries, and considers new challenges that the tourism industry will face in the post-COVID era.
This book is essential reading for researchers seeking to understand the ongoing effects of pandemics on travel, tourism, hospitality and health industries.
