COVID 19 and sustainable tourism: Information resources and links

Covid canoe

During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a systemic change to the travel sector. Between April 2020 and February 2022, a diversity of studies, articles and think-pieces were published on this topic.  Some of these have shared information on the impacts of our dramatically changed travel patterns on industry and destinations, suggestions of proactive approaches, and some provide market insights.

By February 2022 this list reached over 1500 resources, which provide quick-links to people looking for insights and ideas. The collection has benefited from contributions of many people.  I hope the list helps as we try to understand the implications of this massive global challenge, and move towards a better future.

April 2020 to February 2022
