"...a valuable and much-needed contribution illustrating the impact, response, adaptability, and challenges that global travel and tourism faced during the annus horribilis of 2020. The author did quite a remarkable job in collating different perspectives and aspects of COVID19 and travel in a dense and empirically driven narrative that best suits professionals in tourism and hospitality and undergraduate students."Amore, A. (2022). Book review of Hudson, S. (2020). COVID-19 & Travel Impacts, Responses and Outcomes. ISBN: 9781911635703, Oxford, UK: Goodfellow Publishers Ltd. European Journal of Tourism Research 30, 3022

" I am, frankly, amazed. It's an ambitious, well-researched volume, global in scope....Covid-19 & Travel helps put our current situation in perspective by examining its origins...Though the book is scarcely older than a current events quarterly, it offers deep perspective." Arnie Weissman, Editor-in-Chief, Travel Weekly, 10 Sept 2020

“…a solid reference point and artefact that is likely to facilitate future research on the outbreak and immediate aftermath of the pandemic. … a useful resource particularly for students and industry managers studying and researching risk and crisis management, marketing and also planning and development in the travel industry.” International Journal of Tourism Policy, Vol. 10, No. 2, 2020

" a very solid overview of the main issues arising from COVID-19 and the travel sector, and it belongs on the shelves (or electronic libraries) of practitioners, academics and learners alike."
Anna Spenceley (2021): A review of COVID-19 & Travel: Impacts, Responses and Outcomes, Tourism Geographies, DOI: 10.1080/14616688.2020.1866059

The year 2020 will be a defining moment in the history of the tourism and hospitality industry worldwide. The arrival of COVID-19 dealt the industry a vicious blow. Due to the pandemic, the number of international tourist arrivals fell by 74% worldwide in 2020 according to the UNWTO, putting millions of people out of work. The industry will recover, but travel will never be the same again.

COVID-19 and Travel: impacts, responses and outcomes examines how this crisis unfolded and its devasting impacts on the travel, tourism and hospitality industries. Packed with international case studies, it takes the reader from the very outset of the crisis, how the industry reacted and its message to the market, through to its impacts and a possible future. It examines issues such as:
  • Why the COVID-19 outbreak and travel were inextricably linked;
  • How the different sectors of the industry adapted to the crisis;
  • Crisis communication strategies employed by organizations in response to the crisis;
  • How travellers were impacted by the crisis;
  • The social, economic and environmental impacts of the pandemic;
  • The future of travel after COVID-19.

The book has a thorough user-friendly pedagogic structure and is accompanied by a website which contains an instructor’s guide that includes chapter questions and model answers, a test bank, PowerPoint slides for each chapter, and short videos to accompany the cases.

The impacts of this pandemic change daily, and the crisis is still fluid. To this end, the book will be updated regularly with online articles that can be found on this webpage.

Must have reading for all tourism students, educators, and practitioners all over the world and the ‘go to’ text on the subject of COVID-19 and its impact on travel.
