Abstract

The essence of the phenomenon of delayed demand as an engine for the development of post-covid tourism is revealed. The opinion of prof. Simon Hudson on the peculiarities of tourism development in the covid and post-covid periods, according to his published work “Covid-19: Travel Impacts, Responses and Outcomes”. The tendencies of development and recovery of the world tourism industry in the post-covid period are highlighted, taking into account the effect of the delayed demand factor. The peculiarities of the development and restoration of the tourism industry and hospitality in Ukraine in the post-pandemic period are shown, citing examples from the country’s practice of outbound (foreign), inbound (foreign) and domestic tourism. Among the examples of the practice of outbound tourism in Ukraine during the pandemic period, is the phenomenon of massive growth in demand for in the past expensive, elite tours – to the Maldives, the Dominican Republic and more. Possibilities for the development of domestic tourism in Ukraine during the pandemic times are shown in the example of Camino Podolico – pilgrimage route “Vinnytsia – Kamyanets-Podilsky” using the experience of Spain, where are dozens of European hiking routes – Camino, by which annually thousands of pilgrims and tourists pass.
