Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the COVID-19 disease is highly infectious and contagious. The long-term consequences for individuals are as yet unknown, while the long-term effects on the international community will be dramatic. COVID-19 has changed the world forever in every imaginable respect and has impacted heavily on the international travel, tourism demand, and hospitality industry, which is one of the world’s largest employers and is highly sensitive to significant shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic. It is essential to investigate how the industry will recover after COVID-19 and how the industry can be made sustainable in a dramatically changed world. This paper presents a charter for tourism, travel, and hospitality after COVID-19 as a contribution to the industry.
Highlights
The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the COVID-19 disease is highly infectious and contagious
It is essential to distinguish between a unique pandemic like COVID-19, which is likely to continue into the foreseeable future, and other earth-shattering events—such as world wars, 9/11, SARS (2002–2003), MERS, and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) (2007–2009)—in their long-lasting effects on the international community and on the physical, economic, and financial environments
Unlike the energy industry, the tourism, hospitality, and travel industry is less of a necessity and is highly sensitive to significant shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic
Summary
The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the COVID-19 disease is highly infectious and contagious. It is essential to distinguish between a unique pandemic like COVID-19, which is likely to continue into the foreseeable future, and other earth-shattering events—such as world wars, 9/11, SARS (2002–2003), MERS (from 2012), and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) (2007–2009)—in their long-lasting effects on the international community and on the physical, economic, and financial environments.
