Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management
Guest Editorial Board
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the global tourism industry. The UNWTO has reported that over the last 12 months 100% of tourism destinations have instigated some form of travel restrictions (2020). Globally there has been evidence of a US$1.3 trillion loss in global tourism receipts, some 100-120 million direct and indirect jobs are at risk and there has been a 74% reduction in global tourism arrivals (UNWTO, 2020). Perhaps not surprisingly the effects of the pandemic have led academia, industry and government to critically reflect on tourism’s possible futures. Special editions of scholarly journals have proselytised on what should constitute the ‘new normal’ post COVID-19. Online webinars and conferences have sought to debate issues around crisis recovery and future development trajectories in different regions and sectors. In spite of all this research activity, do we really understand how (and if) tourism stakeholders should reconcile competing moral and values-based positions to arrive at a ‘sustainable future’ for the industry that everyone collectively endorses?
Sustainability debates in tourism did not materialise with COVID-19. For some thirty years prior there has been evidence of high level critical commentary on the relationship between tourism growth trends and sustainability (e.g. Hunter, 1995; Liu, 2003; Sharpley, 2020). As a wicked problem, sustainability is a values-based issue as much as it is a technical one (Hall, Gössling, & Scott, 2015). Because of this, we must recognise that multi stakeholder conflicts, complexity and uncertainty (Plummer & Fennell, 2009) will likely be a part of all successful management responses to the pandemic and the future of the industry. While tourism scholars have long considered place-based complexities around sustainable tourism management (e.g. Schweinsberg, Wearing, & Lai, 2020); such complexities have only been a peripheral concern for tourism scholars during the pandemic as we are collectively rushing (or if we were to be less charitable, collectively stampeding) to provide a scholarly perspective of the impacts of COVID-19 on tourism and its possible futures, taking advantage of a once in a generation research opportunity.
While we agree that there is benefit in the development of rigorous scholarly output focussed on the practice of tourist experience and tourism management at a global, regional and destination level (e.g. Hall, Scott, & Gössling, 2020; O’Connor & Assaker, 2021; Traskevich & Fontanari, 2021); we must at the same time recognise that who we are as researchers and as people will help determine not only the nature of the futures we propose, but also the way that we perceive the role for different tourism stakeholders in the industry’s post COVID-19 future.
The purpose of this special edition is to explore how we can better reconcile competing stakeholder positions around sustainability to achieve tangible outcomes for industry and society – we want to acknowledge that diversity in perspectives (in academia, industry, government, community, etc.) can both inhibit and/or enhance our ability to achieve a sustainability end-goal. Topics aligned with the following areas are welcome, though other relevant areas will also be considered:

- Technology as an enabler of tourist experiences and/or a marginaliser of society
- Friends or foes? An academic’s responsibility to industry and industry’s responsibility to academia.
- Sustainable citizenry as a thorn in the side of a neoliberal industry.
- Changing resident attitudes to tourism growth after a year of under tourism and the resulting implications for managing for Overtourism in a post COVID-19 world.
- An inalienable right to travel post COVID-19; social justice and perpetuating elitism
- The value (or not) in scholars reconciling competing ideological positions on tourism sustainability post COVID-19.
- If someone says a sustainable tourism industry after COVID-19 means there should be no tourism; should we listen?
- Trans-disciplinarity and the bridging of theory and practice, lessons from the past for a new age
- Reconciling local histories of development and growth with an alternative sustainable future based on regenerative tourism.
- Adaptive co-management as a pathway for managing complex systems in a post sustainability age.
- Gender and diversity as a foundation for more nuanced sustainable tourism deliberations after COVID-19.
- Vaccine passports, social distancing and border closures, a socially responsible pandemic response or an attack on travellers’ liberties?
- Industry competition as a pathway to industry renewal and sustainable growth in a post COVID-19 world.
- Sustainability ethics and the reframing of intergenerational and intragenerational principles after COVID-19.
- Online communities as echo chambers for conformity or as breeding grounds for stakeholder interaction, dialogue and sustainability innovation.

Journal of Sustainable Tourism - Special Issue: Tourism, Global crises and Justice
Aim and Scope of the special issue
The COVID-19 crisis has concentrated our minds on the impacts of crises on the very foundations of the tourism phenomenon. It has simultaneously revealed how dependent our economies and societies are on the tourism and hospitality industries and the fragility of such dependence in a globalised world where interdependency equals vulnerability. While studies of crises in tourism have proliferated, with concerns for risk management, recovery and resilience, COVID-19 has exposed the need to think more profoundly on this topic.
While any crisis may exacerbate existing inequalities, the crises of the 21st century are compounding and complicating the ways the impacts unfold and engulf individuals, communities and indeed, the global community. For instance, the climate change crisis disproportionately affects the environment and health of low-income countries and poor people in high-income countries, violating their human rights and social justice (Levy & Patz, 2015; Venn, 2019). Recent events demonstrate that COVID-19 is a health and justice crisis, affecting the most vulnerable individuals among us (Brosemer et al., 2020), including hospitality and gig workers whose labour has been depended on to weather the crisis. With the recent refugee crisis, we are now facing the highest levels of human displacement on record (UN, 2020) which can significantly affect many destinations and tourist experiences (Ivanov & Stavrinoudis, 2018; Zenker, von Wallpach, Braun, & Vallaster, 2019). The environmental and health consequences of crises “threaten civil and political rights and economic, social, and cultural rights, including rights to life, access to safe food and water, health, security, shelter, and culture” (Levy & Patz, 2015, p. 310). This is while tourism is predicted to face even greater challenges in the post-COVID era that can exacerbate existing inequalities and injustice (Jamal & Higham, 2021).
In such circumstances, tourism actors must respond to the sustainability and justice challenges resulting from current and future crises by rethinking, redefining and reorienting tourism (Higgins-Desbiolles, 2020). This provides the opportunity for a major transformation by designing more responsible, ethical and sustainable forms of tourism. It is therefore important for tourism decision-making to be based upon sustainability values and justice principles (Rastegar, 2020). In this vein, sustainable tourism must respect the rights, interests and social needs of vulnerable groups and local communities (Boluk, Cavaliere, & Higgins-Desbiolles, 2019; Jamal, 2019; Phelan, Ruhanen, & Mair, 2020). Such a transformation can contribute to the efforts for building a more positive global society post crises (Carr, 2020).
This special issue is in response to the urgent need for ‘research and praxis’ guiding our actions to weave just tourism futures (Jamal & Higham, 2021). The co-editors of this special issue therefore invite theoretical and empirical papers exploring the link between global crises, sustainable tourism and the justice challenges being faced by vulnerable groups, individuals and society. This special issue seeks to contribute to the emerging body of work in this domain through research and empirical studies that address topics including –but not limited to, the following:

Annals of Leisure Research - Special Issue - Transformations and Transgressions: Explorations of ‘Restricted’ Leisure during COVID-19
Edited by Briony Sharp (University of West of Scotland), Rebecca Finkel (Queen Margaret University) and Katherine Dashper (Leeds Beckett University)
There is no denying that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways we socialise during our leisure time. Restrictions on social interaction, movement, gatherings, and cultural activities have caused people worldwide to change their patterns of behaviour and their perspectives about what is socially acceptable when it comes to leisure experiences. This special issue aims to explore the breadth and depth of ‘restricted’ leisure internationally during the pandemic by seeking to understand: a) how differing cultural and national contexts dictate what is deemed transgressive, such as previously mundane social gatherings of multiple households indoors; b) how restricted leisure has led to transformations in the ways we have had to ‘do’ and ‘redo’ activities, such as incorporating digital and distancing measures; and, c) how the pandemic has had an impact on leisure that was considered transgressive pre-pandemic and how restrictions have affected already established illicit subcultures and underground leisure communities.
We welcome cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, cross-geographical submissions that explore a range of issues and diverse perspectives in order to contribute to the development of leisure theory, involving critical tourism and events studies, criminology, sociology, cultural and media studies, and other social science theoretical, methodological, and empirical entanglements. Indeed, what is considered 'transgressive' varies in different disciplines, cultures and societies.
Empirical and conceptual papers are invited. We welcome proposals for full papers (8000 words) and research notes (3000 words). Submissions may include, but are not limited to:
● Complexities of what is considered transgressive in leisure during the pandemic
● Digital leisure (transformations and challenges)
● Critical media analyses of transformations/transgressions in leisure
● Case study examples of restricted leisure/travel or tourism during the pandemic
● Policy analyses surrounding restricted leisure during the pandemic
● Mundane leisure during the pandemic
● Deviant leisure / deviant leisure communities during the pandemic
● Shifts in social interaction during the pandemic
● Differences and diversity in perspectives about leisure during the pandemic
● Accessibility and inclusion and restricted leisure during the pandemic
● Cultural/national contexts dictating ‘acceptable’ sociability and leisure
Important dates:
Submission of a 250-word abstract to briony.sharp@uws.ac.uk by 1st March.
Full paper submission: 1st September 2021.
NB: Invitation to submit a full paper is not a confirmation of publication.

Asia Pacific Journal of Tourism Research - Special Issue: Where to from here? COVID 19 and the future of tourism
posted to TRINET on October 8, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has sent shock waves throughout the global tourism industry. Tourism effectively ceased for the better part of 2020 and recovery is likely to be slow as destinations and tourism stakeholders strive to make sense of what has been and what lies ahead. Both source markets and destinations have been affected by COVID-19, resulting in border closures and long quarantine times for those who are willing to travel. More than that, for the first time at a global scale, most potential tourists see travel as seen as being unsafe regardless of the destination.
At present, no one knows what the future will bring to tourism. Some people feel travel will be changed fundamentally once the crisis is over. Many people have expressed hope that we will move to a more sustainable type of tourism. Others, though, feel that once the crisis ends, there will be a rapid rebound of tourism and it will be business as usual.
This special issue of APJTR aims to shed light on what the future holds for tourism as we continue to live with and recover from the challenges faced by our industry due to COVID-19. Possible topics might include, but are not limited to:
· The ‘new normal’ for tourism
· Consumer research that examines future travel behaviour, including but not limited to; decision heuristics, choice preferences and the evaluation and mitigation of risk
· Destination resilience in the face of a changed tourism sector
· Changes in travel patterns and the emergence of domestic tourism as the driver of tourism growth
· Future implications for policy, planning, destination branding and marketing communications
· Travel bubbles and their effect on tourism growth
· The impact of COVID on the future of tourism education
· Adaptation strategies for the tourism system, including transport, accommodation, attractions, etc.
· Ethical and social justice issues relating to COVID-19 and tourism.
· New sustainability and post-COVID-19 tourism
· The role and necessity of digital transformation for the tourism industry and related sectors
· Case studies on innovations and technological advancements that will enable the recovery process
Criteria for Acceptance
Papers of up between 6000 and 10,000 words inclusive are solicited. Each paper will be blind reviewed by at least two referees. Papers will be considered, based on the quality of research, relevance to the themes identified in the special issue and application of research to industry, policy makers and the expansion of academic knowledge.
Submission Guidelines
Two options exist:
- Extended abstracts of no more than 1,200 words are to be submitted to be submitted by Dec 15, 2020.
- Full papers of between 6000 and 10,000 words are to be submitted by Mar 31, 2021.

Journal of Gastronomy and Tourism - Food experiences and gastronomy tourism in post-pandemic transition
posted to TRINET on June 4, 2020
The present COVID-19 crisis raises many new questions for tourism. Conventional thinking is also challenged when it comes to food experiences. While restaurants, bars, cafees, etc., suffer, new food concepts are emerging: for example, take-away and delivery models, forms of operation that also affect menus and communication. When tourism restarts, there is the question of how gastronomy and food provision may be reborn and transformed, potentially with more permanent impacts.
Readers and prior contributors of Journal of Gastronomy and Tourism are invited to submit manuscripts within, but not restricted to, the following topics:
The academic interest brings together scholarly perspectives from a range of disciplines from cultural anthropology, sociology, media studies, ethnography, hospitality, food studies, and history, advertising and marketing, to environmental science, rural studies, business management, economics, human geography, and political philosophy. These are also linked with many contemporary perspectives in tourism research, including sustainability, ethics, social justice, and human rights. However, many aspects of gastronomy and tourism also appear grossly underexplored, among these: aesthetics, science, technology, innovation, health, and human relations. Moreover, critical and philosophical approaches such as foodways, foodscapes, and food movements are often weak on gastronomy and tourism underpinnings, which provide ample scope for innovative contributions in these areas of scholarship.
Journal of Gastronomy and Tourism invites research contributions of a theoretical as well as empirical and practical nature without specific disciplinary focus. We attempt to ensure a fast publication process, provided the quality of the manuscript. The journal has no submission fees. Please feel free to discuss any publication idea with me.

Current Issues in Tourism - COVID-19 and Tourism
COVID-19, the disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has had a greater impact on tourism and travel behaviour than any disease outbreak in living memory. Outside the public health sphere tourism has become one of the main public faces of COVID-19 in the international media. The nature of the tourism system means that tourism has both contributed to the spread of the disease and experienced the repercussions of the disease along all parts of the tourism value and supply chains. The disease’s global reach and the application of classic disease controls in the form of quarantine, reduced mobility and isolation have had a dramatic effect on international and domestic tourism alike along with a range of sector specific impacts, including transport, travel and booking agencies, hospitality, restaurants, conventions and events, and attractions.
In order to chart and contribute to a better understanding of the effects of COVID-19 on tourism and the sector’s response at various scales, Current Issues in Tourism is calling for empirically-based papers that focus on the impacts of COVID-19 on markets, destinations, organisations and businesses, consumers, destination communities, transit zones and tourism transit. Such communications are especially suited to CIT’s research letters and research notes, but we also welcome more substantial contributions, particularly ones that seek to chart changes over time as a result of COVID-19, or those that seek to contribute to broader understandings of resilience, crisis, and disaster in a theoretical context. While all COVID-19 papers will be peer reviewed we will look to publish such works as rapidly as possible so as to assist in the dissemination of relevant research.
We are therefore seeking research letters, research notes and articles that examine the impacts of COVID-19 on tourism in terms of
• consumer behaviour
• business behaviour and response strategies
• destination management and marketing response strategies
• change, development and learning in tourism governance and policy
• individual, organisation and destination resilience
• economic and financial assistance strategies to assist the tourism industry
• the influence of previous disasters in influencing actions undertaken with respect to COVID-19
• economic, social and environmental implications of COVID-19 for tourism
• COVID-19 and tourism’s contribution to the SDGs
• tourism employment and human resources
• destination and business attractiveness
• development of “alternative tourisms” in response to COVID-19
• political dimensions of COVID19 and tourism and the use of quarantines and sanctions on mobility
• research practices, methods and ethics

Despite the optimism and solidarity, there is a lot to do to recover from the consequences of such an unexpected crisis that is assumed to be still
at its very beginning.
Despite a number of initiatives worldwide, all of them with merit, we think that it is also of highly valuable to give a voice to the young generations as the capital of the world in the future.
We truly think and value that the tourism students could bring fresh and creative solutions to their own industry.
Therefore, the Research Networking Conference series (RESNET) and ANATOLIA would like to bring to the discussion the young generation. We are asking both the undergraduate and/or postgraduate students of tourism and hospitality programs to contribute with fresh and out of the box ideas of how to move forward right after or during this pandemic situation.
The best ideas in three categories (Undergraduate, Masters and Ph.D. programs) will be published as a research note in ANATOLIA
(https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/rana20). Further, the authors will be invited as a guest participant to present their ideas in the forthcoming
RESNET Conference (http://researchnet.work).
Criteria to concur:
1. Certification of the school where the students are registered.
2. Students could work in groups with three students each.
3. The idea needs to be submitted in English with proofreading and the support of a professor
4. Students could work with a region or country; or hospitality, restaurant or airline company.
5. Only one member in each group will be invited to present the research note at the conference.
6. An award is available for each category.

Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Management - Crisis and Disaster in Tourism Systems: Risk, Recovery and Resilience
Posted to TRINET-L on 6 April 2020
Special Issue: Crisis and disaster in tourism systems: risk, recovery and resilience - Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Management
International tourism is highly vulnerable to disruption by natural hazard events. These range from discrete, localized events such as flood, bushfire and earthquake, to wider-ranging regional and global phenomena. Risks can emerge slowly, such as those associated with climate change, or rapidly with little warning. Our interconnected world means responding to these crises and disasters is going to require transformation in all components of tourism systems globally to ensure a more resilient future.
The focus of this Special Issue is to explore tourism system responses to current and recent tourism risks, crises and disasters, and especially natural hazard events, including the current COVID-19 pandemic. A particular focus of this Special Issue is exploration of longer term recovery and resilience for businesses, destinations, communities and the global tourism system. Contributions are encouraged from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds and theoretical perspectives, with the aim being to extend interdisciplinary dialogue of these issues.
Research in the field of tourism risk, and recovery in the context of crises and disasters has undergone rapid growth and evolution during the 21st century. This research has sought to extend our understanding of tourism system preparedness, response to, and recovery from crises and disasters, using macro-level (e.g. case studies of resilience of the tourism system and destination communities) and micro-level approaches (e.g. case studies of disaster risks and responses, business recovery planning and marketing). Empirical studies following hazard events have reassessed the suitability of emergency preparedness and response strategies for businesses, destination communities, and the tourists they host, and to embed lessons learnt into forward planning and preparedness (e.g. Calgaro, Lloyd & Dominey-Howes, 2014; Lew, 2014).
To this end, considerable research has focused on disaster recovery in terms of planning (e.g. Faulkner, 2001; Ritchie, 2004; Scott et al., 2008), recovery marketing and communication strategies (e.g., Orchiston & Higham, 2016; Walters & Mair, 2012), and the formal and informal emergency management structures responsible for post-disaster response and recovery in tourist destinations (e.g., Becken & Hughey, 2013; Hall et al., 2019). There are significant research opportunities to further expand current knowledge by adopting a systems approach to better understand the connections and synergies between the different components of the tourism system, from tourists and destination communities to the global community.
While tourism researchers are devoting much attention to crisis and disaster management (preparedness, response and recovery), Prayag (2018) suggests the time is right to also explore the relationship between crisis and disaster management and resilience, stating “crisis and disaster management is necessary but not sufficient for advancing knowledge on how communities, organizations and destinations plan for, cope with, and recover from events that are increasingly larger in magnitude and having significantly more profound socio-economic and environmental impacts on individuals and societies” (p. 133). While the concept of resilience is contested and applied using a range of conceptual lenses (Cheer & Lew, 2017; Hall et al., 2018; Innerhofer, Fontanari, & Pechlaner, 2018), in the context of tourism the term is often used to describe the emergent property of the complex interactions between various components, or subsystems, of socio-ecological systems (SES) (Benson & Garmestani, 2011).
A central assumption of the socio-ecological interpretation and application of resilience is that change is a constant (Hall et al., 2018); a resilient tourism system is one which has the capacity to adapt, self-organise, self-learn and increase its capacity to buffer against shocks and stresses while maintaining its identity and functionality (Allen, Gunderson & Johnson 2005; Folke, 2006; Walker & Salt, 2012). Becken (2013) describes tourism as a “prime example of a SES, involving both societal (including economic) and natural resources, and their interactions” (p.506). Thus, the tourism system relies on human elements (tourism suppliers, host communities, tourists), environmental features (natural attractions, landscapes) and factors (peripherality, hazardscapes), and the interaction between them. While an SES approach could be applied to explore the way tourism systems adapt and evolve to incremental changes (Lew, 2014), it is in the context of crises or disaster management at a destination or community level that this approach has been most often applied (Prayag, 2018).
This special issue is an initiative of CAUTHE’s (Council of Australasia Tourism and Hospitality Educators Special Interest Group) supported by The Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Management You are invited to submit articles fitting the scope of this special issue. Preference will be given to papers focused on natural hazard events. Papers will be expected to be grounded in theory and go beyond descriptive case studies of disaster events and recovery to extend understanding of the concepts of risk, recovery and resilience. Topics aligned with the following areas are welcome, though other relevant areas will also be considered:

Preference will be given to papers focused on natural hazard events. Papers will be expected to be grounded in theory and go beyond descriptive case studies of disaster events and recovery to extend understanding of the concepts of risk, recovery and resilience. Topics aligned with the following areas are welcome, though other relevant areas will also be considered:
- Vulnerability, resilience and adaptive capacities of host communities in tourism destinations
- The role of government in mitigating risk and crisis and facilitating destination and enterprise recovery and resilience
- The resilience and adaptive capacities of tourists
- The integration between the tourism industry and emergency management agencies in developing strategies to manage risks, recovery and long-term resilience.
- Resilience to climate change in the tourism system
- The conceptual relationship between risk, recovery and resilience
- Future directions for risk, recovery and resilience research in tourism
- Risk, recovery and resilience management from a tourism system approach
