“…Consequently, even minimal contact may contribute to contagion in enclosed public transport vehicles (Harris 2020). Therefore, the implementation of passenger flow control (PFC) measures in public transport becomes crucial for containing the spread and mitigating adverse effects during a public health emergency (Zhang et al, 2022;Sun et al, 2023).…”

Urban rail transit (URT) plays a pivotal role in mitigating urban congestion and emissions, positioning it as a sustainable transportation alternative. Nevertheless, URT’s function in transporting substantial numbers of passengers within confined public spaces renders it vulnerable to the proliferation of infectious diseases during public health crises. This study proposes a decision support model that integrates operational control strategies pertaining to passenger flow and train capacity utilization, with an emphasis on energy efficiency within URT networks during such crises. The model anticipates a URT system where passengers adhere to prescribed routes, adhering to enhanced path flow regulations. Simultaneously, train capacity utilization is intentionally limited to support social distancing measures. The model’s efficacy was assessed using data from the COVID-19 outbreak in Xi’an, China, at the end of 2021. Findings indicate that focused management of passenger flows and specific risk areas is superior in promoting energy efficiency and enhancing passenger convenience, compared to broader management approaches.

“…All supporters of museum tourist destinations and cultural heritage buildings are expected to resume their activities and the welfare of the community is expected to increase, during this pandemic to bring in tourists, especially from abroad, you can use Travel Bubble and Virtual tours. A ravel Bubble is a tourist trip with an agreement between the area of origin and the destination, during this pandemic the agreement made is an agreement on health (Sun, Wandelt, & Zhang, 2023). People who will make tourist visits must be free from all diseases, including free from the Covid-19 outbreak.…”

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to find out the application of the Travel Bubble Strategy and Virtual Tour Package in order to increase tourist visits. The research was conducted in the Ex-Residency of Surakarta which includes the city of Solo, 6 Regencies (Boyolali, Karanganyar, Klaten, Sragen, Sukoharjo and Wonogiri). which have museums and heritage of international standard. Research Methodology: In qualitative research design, data is presented descriptively qualitatively and interpretatively. The data needed are primary data and secondary data. Data collection methods, observation and interviews, and involving informants. Data description is supported by the review of several documents, literature and related records, documentation in the form of photos or video recordings about the object of research to complete data analysis. Results: There are 2 strategies, namely Travel Bubble and Virtual Tourism to increase tourist visits to Museum and Cultural Heritage Attractions, during a pandemic that doesn't know when it will end. Limitations: The research was conducted for museums and cultural heritage that have been developed, and are known by domestic and foreign tourists. Various tourist attractions that have been developed by the region have not been offered by specialized tourist agents. Contributions: The use of travel bubble strategies and virtual tourism is one solution so that tourism activities continue to run even though there is still a threat of the covid-19 pandemic. The lives of people who depend on tourism businesses can continue well.
