A review of tourism after covid pandemic
Keywords:
covid-19 pandemic, tourist sector, sustainable developmentAbstract
Many of us consider traveling to be a way of life. However, 2020 will be a year of significant upheaval, with the tourism industry crumbling in the wake of the COVID-19 epidemic. It is still too early to determine the long-term impacts of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, particularly given that this article will assess the tourist sector's status in the first half of 2020. Thus, the author's evaluation of the hurdles to international tourism and some potential strategies for tourist recovery in the post-pandemic era were quite relevant. Romania, as a Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic country, possesses natural tourist potential that may attract visitors and produce revenue, propelling the Romanian tourism industry to the top of the national economic sectors that contribute significantly to the development of the national GDP. It's fascinating how this paper illustrates how a country with undervalued tourist potential, and in the difficult context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, can gain "ground" in international tourism by implementing key strategies aimed at practicing sustainable tourism while also respecting the health safety measures that are currently a daily priority.
