The post-pandemic world is a time of reflection, rest, and reset for the tourism industry, like many other sectors. This book offers positive and practical concepts for the reset stage, aiming to promote fully sustainable tourism. The pandemic has caused significant loss of life, widespread physical and mental strain, and enormous economic costs. Tourism has been severely impacted, not only in advanced economies but also in poorer developing economies where it is a crucial source of income and employment. The shattering effect of the shutdown of travel and accommodation has been more pronounced on mass tourism, which has been less resilient than ethical and responsible tourism activities focused on local sustainability.

Therefore, this book evaluates the impact of the pandemic and economic decline on ethical and responsible tourism, the type of tourism that sustains and develops local communities for the benefit of future generations. It reflects on the authors' position in Ethical & Responsible Tourism: Managing Sustainability in Local Tourism Destinations and then explores how ethically and responsibly focused tourism can adapt, develop, and maintain consumer safety in the post-virus world.

This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of tourism, environmental and sustainability studies. It provides insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the tourism industry and offers practical solutions for promoting sustainable and responsible practices. As we navigate the post-pandemic world, this book will help us shape a future that is more resilient, sustainable, and equitable for all.
