“…The reduced tempo of tourism, the closure of hotels and other tourism services is credited for reducing wast e generated by the industry (Musavengane et al, 2022), It is questionable whether such positive outcomes will be sustained post -COVID-19 (Jones and Comfort, 2020). Although certain observers assert the COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to conscious travellers interested in environmental issues an important contribution made by Mkono et al (2022) offers a caution. This study provides compelling evidence that environmental issues are not high on the agenda in the factors considered b y consumers in making current travel decisions beyond the pandemic period.…”

The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the end of the COVID-19 pandemic as a public health emergency in 2023. This study aims to review the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hospitality sector in Africa in terms of achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It is based on a review of documentary sources on the nexus between COVID-19, SDGs and the hospitality sector in sub-Saharan Africa. The findings highlight that the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the closure of hospitality facilities, significant job losses, decline in GDP contribution, financial losses and an increase in poverty which negatively impacted the achievement of various SDGs. This said, the pandemic also brought certain positive impacts including a reduction in carbon emissions and a greater appreciation of domestic tourism. Arguably, in the post COVID-19 period, the hospitality sector in sub-Saharan Africa needs a reset with expanded measures towards the achievement of the SDGs. Correspondingly, African hospitality scholarship must pivot to address relevant research issues around the SDGs.

“…There is some debate amongst the research community and tourism industry about the magnitude and timeframe of the transformation, see e.g. Mkono et al, 2022. the core team from Innolink Research commented on the draft versions and then the country researchers made amendments to them. The inalised country reports were received in November 2022.…”

The project Exploring Domestic Tourism in the Nordics aimed to increase the understanding of the value of domestic tourism in the Nordic countries and autonomous areas. Additionally, the project mapped the potential of increasing domestic tourism in the Nordics in the future. Research material includes literature review, statistical review, interviews with tourism sector experts, a survey directed to people working in tourism sector enterprises, destination management organisations and business support organisations and a workshop with participants across the Nordic countries.According to the results, Covid-19 pandemic and related restrictions on international tourism -both outbound and inbound -served as an eye-opener to the signi icance of domestic tourism in the Nordic countries and autonomous areas.Before pandemic, domestic tourists counted for over two thirds of overnights in hotels, holiday resorts, youth hostels and camping sites and tourism consumption in Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden. During the pandemic, the share of domestic tourism was even higher, up to 90 per cent of consumption in some Nordic countries. In Iceland and autonomous areas, the domestic tourism market is considerably smaller, but pandemic and reduction of inbound tourism highlighted how important it is for the industry.Nordic countries. The group was led by research manager Juho-Matti Paavola from Innolink Research Oy. Paavola and research consultant Ilkka Tiensuu formed the core team of this project, and they were responsible for coordination of the project, organisation of the inal report and the writing process.

“…pandemia da Covid-19. Gössling, Scott e Hall (2021) hanno infatti evidenziato come il Covid-19 possa essere considerato un catalizzatore di cambiamenti anche per il settore turistico, offrendo opportunità per innescare l'attuazione di pratiche più sostenibili: insieme ad altri autori (Foley et al, 2022;Lamers e Student, 2021;Figueroa e Rotarou, 2021;Mkono et al, 2022;McNeely, 2021), essi osservano come la fase post-pandemica che stiamo vivendo possa favorire una ripresa sostenibile del turismo, aspirando a resettare il sistema socioeconomico globale, favorendo l'attuazione degli Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile (UNWTO, 2022a) e incentivando l'introduzione di pratiche turistiche più etiche e giuste (Sheller, 2021a), che prestino attenzione agli impatti socio-ambientali del settore, rendendolo inoltre meno elitario (Becken, 2019). Nell'analisi della sociologa Mimi Sheller (2021b) introdurre pratiche di giustizia climatica anche nel settore turistico risulta fondamentale per promuovere forme di mobilità più equa, meno condizionate dalle dinamiche rapaci del capitalismo 'estrattivista'.…”

L'articolo propone una riflessione teorica sull'interconnessione esistente – e potenzialmente molto più criticamente intensa nel futuro – tra cambiamento climatico e turismo, facendo riferimento alla letteratura prodotta da studiosi di diverse discipline, al fine di discutere della complessità delle variabili coinvolte nello studio di questo nesso teorico, e le opportunità e criticità che emergono. L'articolo è diviso in due sezioni: la prima analizza l'interconnessione tra cambiamento climatico e turismo; la seconda esplora le strategie di mitigazione e adattamento climatico del settore evidenziando limiti e potenziali successi.
