Responsible Tourism A Need of Tourism and Hospitality Industry Post Covid 19

Covid 19 has played a devastating role in the tourism and hospitality industry. Since the inception of the pandemic caused by covid19, the hospitality, and tourism industry has suffered a lot of loss due to a decline in arriving tourists, visiting hotel guests, aviation operations, and various government strategies which were meant to control the spread of the virus also contributed to the loss of tourism and hospitality industry where we saw lockdown, social distancing, home quarantine, etc as some of the measures for the same. This, in turn, has impacted the hospitality and tourism industry by causing a dip in their revenues and incurring losses making many of the employees jobless. On the other hand, we also witnessed an excessive spike in online transactions comprising ordering of food, groceries, medicines, etc. more than before the pandemic. This certainly created hope for the food operators and created light of hope for the tourism industry too. Being hygienic and safe apart from virtual and digital became the new normal post covid19. Covid19 also made us realize while we all stayed at home most of the time, about the importance of nature, atmosphere, the upkeep of the environment, etc. as a new way of looking at our society and life at large. In this article, the researcher will attempt to explore the various effects of a pandemic on the tourism and hotel industry on their operations causing the possible novel ways of maintaining the businesses of tourism and hotels to post covid19. The researcher will also attempt to gather the data with the help of a critical literature review from quality research items, reports, articles, and journals available online. For the same purpose, the researcher proposes to use google scholar as one of the prime search databases among others for the data collection. The research article intends to explore and discuss novel views and ways that became a need of the tourism and hospitality industry post covid 19.
