“…We thus begin by briefly outlining this concept, before addressing specifically tourism and hospitality industry resilience, within the context of Covid-19 and other crises. Academic and policy interest in 'resilience' is growing, owing to increasing uncertainty within urban environments (Gong et al, 2020). However, there is no single definition of resilience, nor is its meaning static (Coaffee, 2013), since the concept is adopted across multiple disciplines to study multiple urban disturbances (Cutter et al, 2008;Meerow et al, 2016;Wardekker et al, 2020).…”

“…An emerging literature concerning the impacts of Covid-19 on tourism also exists, exploring issues such as negative economic impacts, employee uncertainty, business innovations, and what the future of tourism might look like, post-Covid (e.g. Carr, 2020;Dube et al, 2020;Foo et al, 2020;Gong et al, 2020;Higgins-Desbiolles, 2020;Knight & Reddy, 2020;Mao et al, 2020;Niewiadomski, 2020). However, there is limited research on this within an English context.…”

“…Following observations that 'resilience' remains a concept fruitful for such research (Gong et al, 2020;Prayag, 2020), this paper draws on insights gathered from over 1000 businesses located in English Business Improvement Districts (BIDs). Our dataset of 340 tourism-dependent businesses is part of broader research, commissioned by the High Streets Task Forcea government-funded programme to provide support across England for those working to revitalize town centres (Institute of Place Management, 2020).…”

The tourism and hospitality industries have been particularly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with widespread closures and later reopening times than other areas of economic activity. However, little is known about the resilience of these industries in light of the current pandemic, within the context of English towns. This paper surveys businesses dependent on tourism located in English towns, to explore perceptions of resilience in this crisis context. We consider the nuances involved in resilience to disturbances such as Covid-19, revealing the temporal dimensions of resilience. Moreover, we identify influences informing differing resilience levels within and between industries. The paper also contributes a novel Business Resilience Composite Score, which enables academics, practitioners and policy-makers to draw comparisons between tourism and hospitality industry resilience and other economic activity in urban locations.

“…Pandemic crises such as COVID-19 have particular characteristics within a complex system requiring a number of different types of resilience be addressed including population health resilience (the population recovering from the disease), healthcare system resilience (the recovery of the healthcare system), economic resilience (recovery from the economic consequences) and psychological resilience (individual recovery from fear, anxiety, depression) [74].…”

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant societal impacts. Besides loss of life there were large additional costs incurred by every country including the treatment of patients and costs to implement response plans. The pandemic resulted in major economic disruptions and stalled growth worldwide due to travel bans, lockdowns, social distancing, and non-essential business closures. Public health officials in almost every country implemented and encouraged Nonpharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) such as contact tracing, social distancing, masks, and isolation. Human behavioral decision-making concerning social isolation was a major hindrance to the success in curbing the pandemic worldwide. In many developing countries individuals’ choices were motivated by the competing risk of losing jobs, and daily income. In this chapter we focus on human behavior concerning social isolation in the context of decision-making during the pandemic. We developed a conceptual framework and deterministic model that integrated evolutionary game theory within our disease transmission model. We illustrate scenarios numerically simulating the model. This study highlights the idea that human behavior is an important component in successful disease control strategies. Economic resilience, especially in low-income countries, can improve public understanding and uptake of NPIs.

Precarious privilege in the time of pandemic: A hybrid (auto)ethnographic perspective on COVID‐19 and international schooling in China

Although the impact of the global COVID‐19 pandemic in terms of school closure and the sudden shift to online learning has started to be explored, little has so far been written about the impact on teachers. This paper addresses this gap by drawing on the first author's autoethnographic experiences of working in the growing body of ‘non‐traditional’ international schooling in Shanghai, China, during the first wave of the pandemic in early 2020. These experiences are complemented by insights from other teachers from the author's school site, leading to a hybrid (auto)ethnographic perspective. By utilising and developing the emergent concept of ‘precarious privilege’, we can see that whilst the pandemic has restricted teachers' movements and agency in a physical sense through lockdowns and travel restrictions, this immobility also fosters new symbolic and physical spaces, which in turn give rise to new forms of privilege. The privilege in this context is not financial, as is often the case, but rather existential (reclaiming a more authentic self) and spatial (the school offers teachers security) in nature. This fresh, nuanced approach to discussing precarity is timely and necessary. Given the novelty of the situation we now find ourselves in, new positionings are required to orient the individual and the researcher to a post‐pandemic world. This paper offers one such positioning in the form of autoethnography for (re)imagining precarity and privilege in international schooling within the context of an emerging new world.
