“… Li et al (2021) revealed that tourists’ destination preferences changed and they avoided going to that with more confirmed cases. Renaud (2020) showed that people preferred to reduce mobility and chose local environments that can meet their needs.…”

“…In fact, information asymmetry is a characteristic problem in experiential services like tourism ( Rocha and Fink, 2017 )—making it essential for signalers (destination or territory agent) to convey and share information with receivers (tourist). In this sense, the Signaling Theory Perspective (STP) helps reduce information asymmetry ( Li et al, 2021 ; Spence, 1973 ), and allows us to propose links between our constructs of reference.…”

“…Given the impact such signals can have on customer perceptions, knowing how to communicate successfully with travelers is as important in tourism destination management as quality infrastructures, services, accommodations, etc. ( Li et al, 2021 )—even more so in emerging destinations where, under unprecedented pandemic circumstances like COVID-19, tourists may form unfavorable preconceived ideas about health crisis management due to a lack of access to comprehensive information.…”

“…From a progressive tourism recovery standpoint, previous health crises like SARS, Ebola, influenza A and bird flu have shown that such events negatively impact destination image. In terms of tourist destination management, both the magnitude of the health crisis and the way public and private institutions manage it—effectiveness of communication campaigns and measures aimed at guaranteeing safety at destination, for instance—will have a decisive impact on destination image and the decision to return to or avoid specific destinations ( Farmaki, 2021 ; Li et al, 2021 ).…”

The onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a critical impact on the travel and tourism sector. Tourist destinations in developing countries are even more susceptible to negative trends of this sort due to the importance of tourism in emerging economies and the peculiarities of their infrastructures and healthcare systems. In such a context, the research develops a Partial Least Square (PLS) path modelling to analyze the impact of destination image and perceived health safety on perceived destination quality. We also assess the extent to which perceived quality impacts degree of destination loyalty and customer engagement. Results are based on a sample of 250 travelers visiting Lima during December 2020-January 2021.

“…Nonetheless, the recent events related to the 2008–2012 crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as their unprecedented repercussions on travel industry, have highlighted the vulnerability of tourism sector regarding unforeseen shocks (Hall et al, 2020 ; Xun Li et al, 2021 ; Nepal, 2020 ; Yang et al, 2020 ). Each of these shocks impacted profoundly the destinations, their labour markets, communities, and economic actors directly or indirectly dependent on tourist flows.…”

Tourism plays a vital role in many rural areas and has been proven a highly resilient sector following an unforeseen shock. Recent evidence points out its capacity to transfer resilient proprieties to the economic landscape of destinations. Yet, little is known about the way structural features of a destination impacts the tourism-induced resilience. Our study builds a mediation model for tourism-based economic resilience of rural destinations in relation to the accessibility towards urban areas. The results suggest that the accessibility towards the larger cities does not have a measurable effect upon the tourism-induced resilience. However, when the accessibility index took into consideration the medium cities and towns, a clear, distinguishable, effect was observed but only for time-distances up to 76 min. Therefore, we were able to map all rural areas that could benefit in a recovery period from their proximity from a city. The study increases our understanding of cone-like relationship model in tourism studies and completed previous approaches which established a relation between tourism growth and economic growth. Moreover, it confirms the role that accessibility plays during the recovery period and the contributions of tourism activities to strengthening the urban–rural synergies. Several policy recommendations regarding an integrated and efficient destination management are addressed at the end of the paper.
