Abstract

The world is challenged by the new coronavirus (COVID-19). The world is now struggling with the COVID-19 epidemic, and also, the epidemic would no wonder influence the future. The COVID-19 epidemic has seriously affected the tourism industry, with drastic impacts on jobs and businesses as without any flu vaccination as well as a limited medical capability to cure the symptoms, the primary disease outbreak strategy is non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI). However, tourism has also been regarded as just a resistant sector, one of the largest yet fast-growing industries. The tourism sector is much more impacted by every internal or external disruption or depression compared to other professions. In this sense, COVID-19’s recent epidemic triggered nationwide anxiety. The world’s largest disturbance in the world economy since the Second World War is due to unexpected worldwide travel bans and homestay orders. With global travel restrictions affecting more than 90% of the population and broad prohibitions on public gatherings and group mobility, the tourist industry largely stopped in March 2020 (Gössling et al., J Sustain Tour 29: 1–20, 2020). The COVID-19COVID-19 disease outbreak downturn may provide an unusual and extremely valuable opportunity for a good long-term reconsideration and re-establishment of the tourist industry. However, “leading” approaches to tourismTourism alone will not provide adequate capacity to allow such a reset. Instead: such a perception provides a framework of the tourist industry, predicated on the needs and privileges of regional individuals and communities, to reshape and realign the tourist industry (Higgins-Desbiolles, Tour Geogr 22: 1–14, 2020). COVID-19COVID-19 is universally acknowledged as a challenge or maybe even a travel & leisure colossal gamble. It has acted as a basis for serious discussion in the “tourismTourism academy”, comparing the effect of COVID-19COVID-19 on the tourist industry as regards issuesIssues, risks, and responsibilitiesResponsibilities. It describes that sector supporters for fast recovery are opposed to much more socially responsible, sustainable, and responsible attempts to transform the tourist industry. The fight involves the significant role of tourist industry intellectuals and tourist industry academics. The results of such a discussion possess implications for disciplinary development, the tourist industry in the future of tourismTourism.
