THE ROLE OF RESEARCH IN TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY

Ever wondered how the Tourism and Hospitality industry is prevailing in this dynamic and
burgeoning world? The ever-changing nature and the way the world is heading forward have
triggered Academics to raise their alarms on sustainability. Tourism and Hospitality is best
considered as an ongoing course with changing focuses and emphases at various times. It is
evident with the ripple effect of Covid-19 that has made a huge impact on Tourism and Hospitality as
well as in all of the tourism systems globally. In International Media, Tourism has become one of the
foremost public faces of the Covid-19 outside the domain of public health.

Therefore, research in this particular area undeniably provides important and tremendously current
insight on how Tourism systems are dealing with the ongoing global crisis as well as reimagining
and transforming profound and long-term structures for its way forward. In a period as such,
