In addition to the economic downturn, it is the reason why international tourism took a severe hit.

The situation needs to be strategically addressed with proactive measures for tourism to regain socio-economic stability after the pandemic. This industry includes air, sea and land transportation, food supply chain, accommodation sector, entertainment, recreation, etc. Consequently, there is a wide area of businesses proposing changes, and mostly because the post-COVID tourists will not be the same as pre-COVID ones.
