Resetting and Redesigning Tourism Industry for Sustainable Growth

Critical analysis

Tourism industries should reset and redesign its structure by the unique challenges and opportunities
presented at the time of Covid 19 and it seems out to be more balanced and sustainable to
achieve growth in the department.
Covid 19 has been been affected to more than 10 billion individuals in all over the world.
The daily cases has been evolved in many countries by which these countries had sealed their
borders to all the outsiders and tourists due to lock down. Mirani, S.Z. and Farahani, B.M are the
two researchers that has been said that there are travel restrictions in over 100 global destinations
at the time of Covid-19. Although after August, International tourisms have been started slowly
or some annot even afford because of the economic and financial crisis. In terms of International
economy, tourism is set out be a critical sector (Mirani and Farahani, 2015).
In 2019, 29% exporters had been given approximately 400 million employees globally.
Tourism is set out be the fastest economic growing sector and it is very important for the growth
and development in the economy. In 2018, there are approximately 1,407 million international
tourist arrivals, that are almost a 6% from 2017.
Employment can be increase by tourism sector very efficiently. It can be also said that the
tourism industry is labour intensive which suggest that high proportion of jobs are booked for a
women, approximately 35% are for the young adults and rest for the men. There is also a
significant amount of opportunities given to the low skilled workers who are illiterate and
unemployed. Tourism exports account for seven per cent of global trade in goods and services,
or $1.7 trillion. In 2019, the most popular destinations were France, Spain, the USA and China
(Bayih and Tola, 2017).
Covid 19 is one of the economic crisis on a global scale and to slow down the virus many
countries have been encouraged and mandated the use of mask and sanitizers in every travel and
tourism department. Government have been introduced some policy measures such as lock down
measures, closure of borders, up gradation of the public health facilities. It helps the tourism
industry to deliver the personal services, resulting in supply and demand shocks (Almeida-García
and et. al., 2016). The Covid-19 pandemic presented a unique opportunity to reset and redesign
tourism in a more balanced and sustainable manner. It will be genuinely the more sustainable
environment if tourism industry can be reset or redesign their structure. It raises many
employment, literacy, sustainable development and efficiency from reset or redesign the whole
structure.
