Pandemic tourism: the new era of catering sector after Covid-19

摘要

The COVID-19 pandemic, a worldwide health, social and economic emergency, without any pre- cedent (“UNWTO,” 2020), has been impacting the different economic sectors of the countries, namely the tourism sector. In the space of a few months, the global context of Tourism went from overtourism to nontourism (G?ssling et al., 2020). This is due to the travel restrictions placed by governments taking into account warnings and advices given by the World Health Organization (WHO) in order to prevent the spread of this virus. “The cancellation of travel and the closure of borders, makes the tourism industry in several countries practically impossible” (Neto, 2020, p. 120).
