“…Researchers generally believe that the pandemic has hurt tourism because of the resultant lockdowns, isolation, quarantine, and travel restrictions [17,18]. Furthermore, nonpharmacological measures, such as limiting the flow of tourists, taking people's temperature, requiring masks, and displaying health codes in scenic spots, also affect tourist activities, especially in offline travel [19,20]. In the face of such challenges, new media practices based on technologies such as AR, VR, live streaming, and short videos have created new opportunities for the tourism industry and promoted new patterns, such as virtual tourism [21][22][23].…”

This study investigated the phenomenon of wanghong cities in China to illustrate the dynamic relationships between media, tourists, and cities in the new normal of the post-COVID-19 era. Specifically, this study proposes the innovative analytical framework of tourists–media–cities (“ToMeCi”), which is grounded in tourism studies, media studies, and urban studies, but goes beyond the traditional concepts and previous studies of media and city, tourism and media, and tourism and city. Based on a case study of Xi’an, one of the most famous wanghong cities in China, this study attempted to answer the following research questions: how can the deployment of creative media practices create new digital tourism patterns in the specific Chinese context of wanghong cities; moreover, why is this reasonable and possible, and what are the implications? For the purpose of this study, we employed a qualitative research method and conducted online and offline ethnographic fieldwork, textual analysis, and in-depth interviews with 22 tourists and 26 short-video producers or live streamers. The findings reveal that the city of Xi’an was transformed into a wanghong city to attract tourists, who interact with the city through specific media practices of clocking in and live streaming, with a new digital tourism model of the cyberflaneur emerging against the specific backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we discuss the possible contributions and limitations of the phenomenon.

The COVID‐19 pandemic has incurred a substantial economic and social impact around the world. Many sectors have been drastically affected but the tourism and hospitality industry was one of the hardest hit by the COVID‐19 outbreak globally. The coronavirus pandemic has caused direct losses of half‐billion Omani Rial to the tourism sector. This pandemic has also exacerbated the mental health of business owners of the tourism and hospitality industry in Oman. This research aims to investigate the economic and social impacts of COVID‐19 on the tourism and hospitality sector of Oman. The data was collected from business owners of micro, small, medium, and large size‐companies operating in the tourism and hospitality industry. A structured questionnaire was distributed and data collection was done from September 2020 to January 2021. The finding of the study reveals a negative economic and social impact on the tourism and hospitality industry of Oman due to the COVID‐19 outbreak. The economic impact includes financial loss, reduction in customer demand at a national and international level, disruptions in the logistics and distribution channels, ruined the relationship with suppliers, customers, and employees. The social impact included depression, irritation, anxiety, and stress among the business owners about the present and future conditions. This study has given valuable suggestion to mitigate the negative economic and social impact on the tourism and hospitality industry of Oman. The finding of the study will support the government to boost the tourism and hospitality industry in Oman.

The onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a critical impact on the travel and tourism sector. Tourist destinations in developing countries are even more susceptible to negative trends of this sort due to the importance of tourism in emerging economies and the peculiarities of their infrastructures and healthcare systems. In such a context, the research develops a Partial Least Square (PLS) path modelling to analyze the impact of destination image and perceived health safety on perceived destination quality. We also assess the extent to which perceived quality impacts degree of destination loyalty and customer engagement. Results are based on a sample of 250 travelers visiting Lima during December 2020-January 2021.
