Introduction
Tourism 21: Re-building Tourism – Continuities and Changes
It is clear that the year-on-year growth of global tourism has been dramatically brought to a halt by the Covid-19 pandemic. For probably the first time in history on such a scale world travel has been brought to an almost complete standstill. The consequences of this are being felt by destinations at national, regional and local level with businesses and communities struggling to deal with the unprecedented decline in tourist numbers.
Tourism stakeholders, from governments, state tourism organisations, transport operators, destination management organisations and attraction managers to accommodation owners, small businesses, local communities and prospective tourists themselves, are all preparing themselves for a process of re-building global tourism. However, this is also a period of reflection for all the many different sectors that comprise international tourism as they consider how they will need to adapt to a covid / post-covid future and how it will be shaped by new realities in tourist demand and tourist behaviours.
Tourism 21 seeks to generate debate and discussion amongst and between academics, policy makers and practitioners regarding expectations, prospects, policies, plans, ideas and initiatives for the re-building of global tourism. We invite conference participants to consider the future of global tourism from international, cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary perspectives.
