“…In line with the previous study by McGinlay et al (2020) , in which Jones is also a co-author, Jones et al (2021) suggested in his latest article to develop a mobile app for tourist guidance to avoid overcrowdedness in the protective areas. Many countries started lowering their fees for state-owned attractions to promote local tourism, but the same policy can impact their financial side.…”

The strategic perspective of management policies gained utmost importance during the post-Covid era. The researchers are trying to introduce strategies that can help organizations cope with post-crisis destruction. Yet, the research on the topic is fragmented, mainly related to the hospitality and tourism industry. This manuscript aims to present scholarly research findings dealing with the post-Covid-19 management strategies in the hospitality and tourism industry from January 1, 2020, to July 28, 2021. These strategies can play an essential role in the survival and growth of the sectors. The study identified and acknowledged the core contributing authors, journals, countries, affiliation, corresponding authors through bibliometric, citation, and keyword analysis. It also conducted the co-occurrence analysis and reported three significant research streams and bibliometric coupling to identify four research themes for management strategies of the tourism and hospitality industry in the post-Covid era. With the help of an influential and conceptual framework, the study highlights the future challenges managers could face and suggests the possible area for reviewing and revising the existing policies by proposing future directions. Consequently, this study contributes to the current literature on post-Covid-19 management strategies and policies by developing the critical analysis of the extant literature and highlighting the understudy areas that future studies must explore to expand the scope of the research.

“…They can create specific zones such as playful visits or event spaces in which tourists can co-produce and co-create experiences more easily and based on their own intellectual and physical resources [55,97], whether the protected natural park is free or controlled. They can also manage overcrowding by restricting access to certain paths, the development of mobile applications to alert people to overcrowding and reporting irresponsible behavior [2,120].…”

“…The Covid-19 outbreak has had a very significant impact on tourism including important changes in mobility, social behavior, consumption habits, and leisure [1,2]. One of the consequences has been the rise of proximity tourism and domestic tourism [3] because tourists may consider nearby destinations more affordable, and, more importantly, less risky due to insecurity and uncertainty.…”

“…This fact is particularly concerning given that the target population for the parks was typically domestic tourists from nearby areas, staying in the park for a weekend, a short stay [4,9], or at least four hours on a same-day trip [7]. Another major effect of the pandemic crisis has been the development of active leisure in outdoor settings that are less likely to spread the virus during vacations, particularly in natural parks close to home [2,10]. In this regard, what experiences do domestic tourists seek during their stays in protected natural parks?…”

A More Sustainable Management of Domestic Tourists in Protected Natural Parks: A New Trend in Sport Tourism after the Covid-19 Pandemic?

One of the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis has been the development of proximity tourism in outdoor spaces being less conducive to the spread of the virus. From a study preceding this pandemic, this article seeks to better understand the experiences lived by domestic tourists from when they visited two typical protected natural parks as specific experiential contexts (extraordinary versus ordinary) providing different experiences. Each experiential context enables the distinction of actual visitors’ experiences inside each park—education, esthetics, entertainment, escapism, physical activity—differentiated, on one hand by the visitors’ participation axis and, on the other hand, by the absorption-immersion axis influencing the visitors’ arousal and memory. A structural equation model tested the data collected (n = 1000) in both experiential contexts and shows their moderator effect. The results underline the link between the experiential context and the actual experiences and highlight the interest of a new global framework including the visitors’ participation and a bodily axis relative to the specific context. This research could help managers of protected natural parks adjust their domestic tourists’ experience offer during pandemic crises by implementing specific sustainable and sanitary strategies.

“…Now, as open disputes have been hindered due to social distancing requirements (Smith et al 2021), many con icts may have taken the layer of 'underlying con icts' (Crespin and Simonetti 2021; Madden and McQuinn 2014;Zimmermann et al 2020), which makes capturing actors' perceptions more demanding. This adds to other con ict-inducing challenges to managers caused by the pandemic in PA socio-ecological systems, such as the reduction of nancial viability of PA stakeholders, an increase in their level of emotional stress (Smith et al 2021), higher pressure from domestic tourists on local PAs (Strzelecka et al 2021a), or limitations of the number of PA visitors due to pandemic restrictions (Jones et al 2021). Simultaneously, environmental policies worldwide, such as the latest EU 2030 Biodiversity Strategy (EC 2020), require increasing efforts to designate new PAs or expand existing ones.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected an established way of analysing protected area (PA) conflicts. A compelled turn towards a broader use of secondary data evokes doubts about validity of the results unless restrictive assessment procedures are implemented. To address this need, we propose a three-fold (theory-, method-, and cross-scale simulation-driven) approach to assess usefulness of a state register dataset and a group of methods of the indicator analysis for recognizing PA conflict determinants at the regional and local level. With the ultimate aim to inform case study selection, we used 187 relevant indicators from the Polish Central Statistical Office register for a Lesser Poland region and processed them using principal component/exploratory factor and cluster analyses. We distinguished five types of PA conflict determinants in a region (‘urbanity’, ‘agriculture’, ‘tourism’, ‘small-scale entrepreneurship’ and ‘sprawl’) and respective groups of clusters comprising local-level units. Then, we selected one cluster to juxtapose the results with secondary data from another source (Internet content) for a specific PA. We confirmed that reported conflict issues corresponded with indicator-derived descriptors of the cluster. However, secondary data from the state register failed to address the key prerequisites of PA conflicts (parties’ interests and their mutual perception). Overall, our approach can serve as a proxy for a multi-level PA conflict determinant analysis in crisis conditions such as COVID-19, provided it synthesises the results of various methodological approaches, followed by in-person inquiries in the selected case studies.
