Description
Book SynopsisThis book employs epistemological, methodological and discursive approaches to explore the practices of tourism stakeholders in Covid-19 affected destinations and to understand and explain their everyday real-time doings and sayings. It discusses the changing practices of tourists and stakeholders at both micro and meso levels and provides a range of contexts and destination case studies offering insights into supply and demand. The issues examined in the volume will have continued implications for further study of the relationships between tourism, crises, pandemics and global travel. It will be a useful resource for researchers and students in tourism studies, geography, politics and policy, as well as sociology, history, crisis management and development studies.
Trade ReviewThe global Covid-19 pandemic marks a watershed moment in recent history. Employing sociological and anthropological lenses, this timely volume helps us make sense of the pandemic’s impacts on tourism. In exploring coping strategies and robust transformations in these unique times at various sites and scales, it addresses vital questions on what the future might hold for tourism and its many stakeholders. * Freya Higgins Desbiolles, University of South Australia, Australia *
This volume, with its international perspective and holistic approach, poignantly captures the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on tourism. Its chapters cover the implications for businesses, the evolving attitudes towards spiritual tourism, and the changes facing tourism stakeholders and communities. Looking ahead, the book critically examines how the experiences of the past few years may – or may not – help guide tourism’s future.
