| Summary: | Tourism has been, and continues to
be, one of the most affected sectors by the pandemic,
resulting in negative socio-economic consequences for host
communities in destinations as well as for underlying
endowments that rely on tourists’ expenditure for
maintenance and management. The aim of this report is to
provide insights regarding the types of interventions
governments have already implemented and policy
considerations for supporting the recovery and resilience of
the tourism sector going forward, particularly in light of
structural demand and supply-side transformations
precipitated or accelerated by Coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19). The report studies the challenges for recovery
faced by governments and the sector from the context of
preexisting market and government failures that have been
exacerbated by the crisis, as well as those emerging from
the pandemic. The report includes several key findings and recommendations. |
