The New Millennium (NM) itself has been witnessing to a continuum of global crises in succession, onsetting with the spread of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in 2002 and prolonged until 2004, costing the global economy of an estimated US$5 4 billion. Indeed, the first decade of NM was crisis-ridden but culminated to witnessing the resumption of the global economy post the recession eventuated from the tremors of sub-prime crisis. The tourism economy globally saw a robust growth in the subsequent decade of 2010-2019 but fell quickly to the clutches of COVID-19 Pandemic that shook the humanity as never before by March 2020.

Multi-faceted impacts of tourism on various components of destinations are becoming growingly manifestive, and by now, its role in the socio-economic development has been explicitly acknowledged. In many ways, tourism has emerged to represent the ...
