Abstract

Urban tourism is one such sector that was struck by the COVID-19 pandemic more badly than any other urban economic sector. This led to significant challenges for the sector, which need to be addressed to ensure the sector’s sustainability going forward. In light of this, this study attempted to develop a narrative on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the urban tourism industry and subsequent responses aimed at reviving the industry. The secondary research approach was adopted to pursue the objective. This study found that adopted measures included fiscal and regulatory relief courses, resilient-building efforts, promotion of domestic tourism, the gradual opening of foreign travel, digitalisation of the tourism sector and the introduction of a New National Tourism Policy focusing on sustainable and responsible tourism and other sectoral policies. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on urban tourism and the COVID-19 pandemic in the Indian context.
