“…The dramatic changes that the COVID-19 pandemic brought to the tourism and hospitality sector determined a growing interest for matters related to tourism vulnerability and resilience (Boto-García and Mayor, 2022;Duro et al, 2022;Duro et al, 2021), to the economic effects that such an event can cause on tourist destinations (Allan et al, 2022;Cardenete et al, 2022) or to the most efficient and sustainable policies and strategies for recovering after the pandemic (Aldao et al, 2021;Khalid et al, 2021;Salari and Murphy, 2023;Wu et al, 2021). However, before investigating and discussing complex matters concerning the recovery of the sector and the implemented policies and strategies, a natural first step has been to assess the impact that the pandemic had on the tourism sector and, in particular, on the tourism demand.…”

“…Starting right from the first year of the pandemic, a large number of studies on COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the tourism sector has been conducted for various territorial contexts and from diverse perspectives (Aburumman, 2020;Allan et al, 2022;Alshiqi and Sahiti, 2022;Cardenete et al, 2022;Foo et al, 2020;Gorina et al, 2022;Imeri and Gil-Alana, 2022;Škare et al, 2021). However, despite the literature in the field of tourism being rather abundant in studies on this topic, at present more insights into how tourist destinations evolved and recovered during the last years are necessary.…”

Although the tourism sector has witnessed a gradual recovery during the last years from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still too soon to discuss about a full recovery, as territories have responded and adapted in diverse manners to the shock. As such, it is important to investigate the impact of the pandemic in different moments and at different geographical scales, in order to identify and understand the contrasts between territories of same countries. In light of these facts, the purpose of the current paper is to assess the evolution and the spatial patterns of tourism demand in Romania under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for the period of time 2020-2023. The focus is on identifying the differences between regions and destinations in terms of initial impact of the pandemic and of their path to recovery to pre-pandemic levels of tourist arrivals.

“…The most important sectors for the employment fall are, perhaps unsurprisingly, food and beverages services and accommodation. However, negative effects are felt on employment across all sectors of the economy [13]. Therefore, during the lockdown, the governments of individual countries affected by the pandemic focused (to a greater or lesser extent) on providing financial support and protecting workplaces.…”

Until the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual tourism was not as popular as during its duration in 2021, when traveling in the real world was not possible due to social isolation and forced quarantine. In response to the lockdown and the lack of freedom of movement around the world, tourists decided to travel in cyberspace during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this way only, and without leaving home, could they visit tourist attractions, watch museum exhibitions, participate in various media events and take virtual walks. After the “unfreezing” of tourism, the time has now come to adapt tourism to the post-pandemic normality. The aim of the paper is to discover whether the new trend of online tourism that developed during the pandemic will stay with us forever and how it will evolve, especially for Generation Z, who are just entering the labor market but who, at the same time, will determine the future of tourism soon. The research results show that as the pandemic restrictions disappear, the need to experience various forms of tourism in places previously viewed in cyberspace (virtually), occurs among the representatives of Generation Z. Thus, virtual tourism is a form that precedes and complements a real journey. The qualitative method was chosen for the research conducted in Poland. The research was carried out in 2022. A total of 40 focus groups of 7 people each (N = 280) participated in the research. They consisted of Generation Z representatives born after 1995; the oldest of them will be 27 in 2022. In parallel, the method of in-depth individual interviews was used in the research. In order to reach the participants, a non-random sample was chosen using the “snowball” method. In total, 100 people took part in the in-depth individual interview. The two-track research allowed to obtain a total sample of N = 380.

“…Tourism and leisure were particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic (Liu et al, 2023). The pandemic affected both the supply side and tourist demand, creating global spatial and temporal inequalities, and disrupting tourism worldwide (Allan et al, 2022;Sigala, 2020). These effects had a negative impact on tourism, both economically and socially, as well as in terms of policy structuring (Abbas et al, 2021).…”

Using a theoretical framework that recognises the pervasive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global tourism and events, this study examines the unique complexities of Japanese pop culture events. These events, characterised by their ability to attract large audiences, especially enthusiastic youth, have traditionally flourished through interpersonal interactions. This discrepancy between the interactive nature of events and pandemic-induced measures has necessitated fundamental changes in event management strategies. However, pandemic responses and restrictions contrasted sharply with the nature of these events, posing significant challenges for event organisers. This study analyses qualitative data from seven semi-structured interviews with Japanese theme researchers, journalists, and representatives of the main events on the theme in four countries. The pandemic crisis clearly affected Japanese pop culture events, which were among the most frequently suspended. The interviewees believe that it is easy to return to the normalcy of face-to-face events because the audience for these events is predominantly young and enthusiastic, but this requires adaptations and the care that each country demands. This research sheds light on both the difficulties and setbacks that Japanese pop culture events face, as well as their ability to endure and adjust in response to difficult circumstances. By shedding insight into the complex dynamics and demographic characteristics of these events, it also enables event organisers and policymakers to develop strategies to facilitate the safe and successful recovery of similar events in the future. In addition to connecting with other studies in the event sector, this research contributes to the body of knowledge needed to develop effective responses to unforeseen obstacles by shedding light on exceptional events and their potential resilience pathways.
