Sustainability in Tourism After COVID-19

Abstract

The experts consider sustainability as one of the most noticeable trends during and after the pandemic. For that reason, this chapter seeks to deepen the weight that sustainability has acquired in the tourism sector from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this goal, a systematic bibliometric review on sustainability in tourism will be carried out. To carry out this analysis, the authors will search the words “sustainability + tourism + covid” in titles, keywords, and abstracts on Scopus from 2020 until June of 2021. Analysed manuscripts emphasize the role of sustainability in a sector hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic that has led in changes in people touristic behaviour patterns. This chapter shows that a more sustainable awareness emerges from new touristic consumption trends and that companies that have adapted to these new trends are those that could be better positioned in the new context.
