“…Secondly, the study offers a new perspective on how digital technologies affect SMEs' resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous research papers [11,13,[23][24][25]70] have studied the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but only a few have related digital technologies and their effect on SMEs' resilience. Third, this fills gaps in the literature by providing new empirical proof from a multi-country perspective on SME resilience and the impact of technology.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a medical emergency but also a business emergency that has created the need for organizations to be resilient and versatile in managing the impact of the pandemic on their business operations. At this time, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the most vulnerable to the economic disaster caused by the recent crisis, because these companies do not have the necessary resources to absorb losses. This research reviewed the impact of digital technologies on SMEs’ resilience during the pandemic, focusing on companies in developing countries. Based on the 96 SMEs surveyed across six developing countries, the study shows that digital technology has helped SMEs to survive the pandemic, assisting SMEs in becoming more robust and ensuring their survival. This research fills a significant research gap in the literature, highlighting the inherent challenges of SMEs in developing countries and their digital transformation strategies. This study also offers practical recommendations for SMEs, tech developers, and policymakers to invest more effort in putting new procedures in place to ensure the efficacy of digital technology.

“…Third, our exploration of the impact of vaccination also attempts to illustrate that promoting vaccination, and improving vaccine adherence, is not just a matter for the public health sector. For example, the Serbian government's decision to offer free COVID-19 vaccines to the citizens of its neighbors who travel to Serbia led to a short-term boost in tourist arrivals and overnight stays ( Mladenović, Rrustemi, & Mogaji, 2021 ), which also relies on a strategic shift of all stakeholders. Thus, as UNWTO (2020) recommended, all sectors should have stronger ties to design a flexible and active resilience strategy.…”

“…In this regard, the continuous vaccination of the vaccine plays an important role in protecting people from the mass infection of Sar-CoV-2 (Zhu, Zou, Song, Ren, & Xu, 2021). In the context of tourism, it is increasingly obvious that Covid-19 vaccination will play an important role in the recovery of the tourism industry (Mladenović, Rrustemi, & Mogaji, 2022). This is because the vaccine will help to eliminate tourists' health-related issues caused by Covid-19 when they travel or enjoy hospitality-related activities.…”

This study highlights the applicability of the joint framework of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to the utilization of contactless payment and Covid-19 vaccination in the context of post-pandemic tourism recovery in Vietnam. The conclusion of this study evidenced that the behavioural intention of using the contactless payment mode was positively driven by subjective norms, attitude, perceived behavioural control, risk perception, and perceived benefit. Moreover, tourists would feel safer when combining two protective measures, including contactless payment and vaccination. This study contributes to the field of contactless payment literature by applying a new different theoretical lens to explain the behaviour and intentions towards employing it generally and the field of tourism literature particularly.
