Community Resilience and Change in Tourism
The COVID-19 and other recent man-made disasters and catastrophes show that tourism is one of the most affected sectors. This questions the resilience of tourism and the current tourism trajectory in general. At the same time there are many community-based, decentralised and social tourism models showing more resilient practices. Many of these traditional and innovative practices are not getting sufficient space in the tourism discourse and policy regimes in general.
The aim of this 90 minutes interactive online-seminar was to facilitate a discussion in this direction. Practitioners and activists were highlighting examples from community-based tourism initiatives as well as from social-tourism practices. While global in scope, this online-seminar allowed for interaction and exchanges beyond borders.
