Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | Routledge | Series/Report no.: | Development Southern Africa; | Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to ignite a conversation on the challenges of the ongoing ‘novel’ surrounding the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in the Southern Africa region. The global COVID-19 pandemic started with the outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It is understood that different countries, regions and territories will have different, context-specific challenges in fighting the pandemic. These will differ from country to country and therefore necessitates contextual research. By sharing African perspectives on swift action against this coronavirus, this paper is intended to appraise the nexus between the coronavirus and tourism in order to prepare tourism practitioners for the recovery strategies that will be needed to address the damages caused by the pandemic. This paper points to tourism researchers focusing on the Southern African region and possible key areas for further research as the coronavirus situation unfolds. It draws from published material and document analysis, including from academic research, media reports and social media platforms. | URI: | https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0376835X.2020.1829459 http://hdl.handle.net/11408/4311 |
