Currently, a revenge travel phenomenon emerged following the reopening of tourism amid the Covid-19 pandemic is still not subsided. This phenomenon raises questions about its impact on the concept of quality tourism that promotes sustainable tourism development and that revives during the Covid-19 pandemic. This issue is crucial to be anticipated by policymakers, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia, to prevent various impacts detrimental to the natural, social and cultural environment, which have ensued in many tourism destinations before the Covid-19 pandemic. Hence, the study aims to offer ideas to policy makers on establishing quality tourism in the post Covid-19 pandemic. Based on a qualitative approach, the methodology used is integrative review through literature studies. The result shows that the government can effectuate several alternative policies to modify revenge travel to become quality tourism. Such policies will be essential for developing a carrying capacity policy in a tourism destination. In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic can provide an understanding for the government to comprehensively evaluate their perspective on tourism as a means of development, including reviewing the concept of sustainable growth in tourism development.

This study suggests how adaptive event organizers should be toward virtual and hybrid events, explore the constraints, and recommend policies to support virtual and hybrid events in Indonesia. It uses a quantitative descriptive method, and data are collected through an online survey using the Survey Monkey application. The survey was conducted from August to September 2021, involving 170 event organizer managers. The result shows that they mostly earn income from management fees during the pandemic. Event organizers also take several ways to increase engagement in virtual events, such as combining internal and external resources to serve personnel and technical equipment and to keep the events productive. Policy support through capacity building in some aspects is highly recommended to increase the managerial skills of event organizers to produce higher quality outputs of the event. The suggested training materials cover how to monetize virtual events, how to improve skills in the technological aspects, and how to increase engagement for participants. This research provides an overview of virtual and hybrid events in Indonesia so that the government can take the necessary policies in creating quality events, especially during the pandemic.
