“…It must be stressed that the time perspective of the development of the Bełchatów industrial district with a target of 30 to 50 years should enable planners to include possible shifts in the development paradigm into general and tourism strategies and initiatives for the investigated region, raised in both top-down and bottom-up ways. In line with recent studies, post-capitalism concepts, including degrowth (Fletcher et al, 2021) or green growth (Sandberg et al, 2019), should be considered on the one hand while, on the other, targeting such a far-reaching perspective is definitely out of the political ability of strategic planning targeting periods up to 10 years maximum (Piras et al, 2021). Moreover, the character of the already proposed strategy for the development of the Bełchatów industrial district intended by the European Green Deal is mainly normative, as it describes only the future conditions demanded (Piras et al, 2021).…”

The goal of the study is to explore the co-evolution of the tourism and industrial sectors. This paper addresses the concept of inter-path dependency as the theoretical framework for this study. The case study of Bełchatów industrial district is applied to discuss the co-evolution of tourism and heavy industries. Tourism and heavy industries are usually seen as mutually exclusive. However, in the case of the Bełchatów industrial district, tourism (starting from social tourism, through business tourism and educational tourism) is confirmed as being complementary to the industrial path shaped by triggering events (launch of radical industrialisation, and economic transition). Recently, implementation of the Just Transition Mechanism was planned and includes development of leisure tourism in the case study area. Some doubts of that intersectoral linkages are discussed in the paper – mainly in the context of the expected sustainable development of the Bełchatów industrial district – and followed by policy recommendations.

“…Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic provided the “pause moment” for tourism researchers to reflect on their positions, existing paradigms and possible alternative futures (Gretzel et al , 2020; Sigala, 2020). Many commentators argue that both tourism industry and tourism research will be transformed due to COVID-19 (Benjamin et al , 2020; Fletcher et al , 2021; Gretzel et al , 2020; Sigala, 2020). However, how the transformations unfold themselves is yet to be seen.…”

Purpose This study aims to provide a timely review of the COVID-19-related empirical research published in 19 quartile one (Q1) and quartile two (Q2) tourism and hospitality journals in social science citation index (SSCI). Design/methodology/approach A total of 407 COVID-19-related empirical papers were collected from the 19 SSCI Q1 and Q2 tourism and hospitality journals via Scopus database. Thematic content analysis was supplemented with Leximancer software to identify the research themes/subthemes, research methods and countries/regions of research. Findings The study found studies of COVID-19’s impact on consumer behaviour predominate in number, followed by studies on response actions and recovery strategies, impact on industry or sectors and impact on workers and employees. Based on the research themes identified, a knowledge mapping framework was produced. Over 70% of the studies used quantitative methods with quantitative survey as the dominant method of data collection. The USA and China were found to be the most studied countries. Research limitations/implications The study reviewed empirical research papers until January 2022 and covered most of the COVID-19-related empirical works in the field. An overview of the current state of COVID-19-related empirical research was provided with some critical discussions and suggestions for future research topics. Originality/value The findings give researchers a clear index for the current state of the art of COVID-19 research in hospitality and tourism. The paper provides practical implications for industry practitioners to retrieve relevant knowledge from the recent COVID-19-related literature in tourism and hospitality in coping with practical challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…The devastating impact of COVID-19 on global GDP and employment has revealed that external factors can significantly curtail one of the key industries of the national and global economy [45,46]. Thus, the incidence of coronavirus crises has exacerbated the sustainability challenges that are historically associated with tourism development [10,11].…”

“…Unlike any other sector, tourism remained the most devastated sector of the global economy during COVID-19 [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The severe impact of the pandemic on all aspects of travel and tourism has exacerbated the already prevailing sustainability challenges [10][11][12]. In fact, the likelihood of a more frequent incidence of such crises in the future [13] signals a need to rethink tourism sustainability in the light of major event crises such as COVID-19 [14,15].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the tourism industry like never before, resulting in massive losses of revenue and jobs around the world. Accordingly, the pandemic exacerbated the already existing sustainability challenges of the tourism industry. However, there is also a positive side of the pandemic which is often overlooked by international scholarship. Thus, the present study aims to review the extant literature in the area of COVID-19 and the tourism industry’s sustainability and resilience in future crises. Through a synthesis of secondary data, it was possible to bring attention to the negative as well as the positive effects of COVID-19 on the global tourism industry. This article contributed to a better understanding of the positive side of the pandemic in terms of rethinking, resetting, and redefining the industry in a more sustainable way. The study lays out a conceptual framework for tourism managers and destination planners to identify the pandemic as an opportunity and adopt sustainable solutions to deal with the post-pandemic challenges, thereby developing more sustainable and resilient tourism businesses and destinations.
