Time to establish a ‘Tourism Data Bank’

While the economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic will be uneven across the economic sectors, risk of the tourism economy to be among one of the last to recover is extremely high.

A CRUCIAL lesson from Covid-19 is the need for multistakeholder collaboration in the travel and tourism industry.

This crisis has forced the industry’s business organisations, public institutions and others to cooperate on the destination, national and international level.

Coordination with non-traditional entities like health agencies has become vital. All these requires evidence based information.
