Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tourism has always been considered a "special sector" due to its impact on GDP and employment, its intangible nature and its great interconnection with other sectors. However, recent crises have highlighted the vulnerability of tourism, the risks that the sector may face and the severe damage caused to tourism at a global and local level. For approximately a decade, the economic crisis, climate change, natural phenomena, the pandemic crisis, and armed conflicts have caused economic, social, and environmental problems that have made us reflect on the sector’s vulnerability, resistance, and sustainability. The problems and risks in the tourism sector have affected the local and rural sphere and the international one to all types of business, whether accommodation, intermediaries, or catering companies. It has been found that tourism has recovered from the crisis before other sectors and that its interconnection it has made possible the recovery of other sectors. Recovering has involved resisting and overcoming problems by developing resilience, which requires psychological, organizational, and destination resources.
This Special Issue aims to bring together different original contributions of a multidisciplinary nature in which the exceptional recovery capacity of the tourism sector is addressed through individual, organizational and destination resilience. All these contributions will complement and enrich the existing and not-so-abundant literature on the phenomenon of resilience in tourism. In this vein, the Guest Editors would like to invite submissions from researchers who study diverse theoretical perspectives, adopt various empirical approaches, conduct multiple levels of analysis, and conduct qualitative and quantitative experiments on the issue.
