The concept of "crisis management" entered into everyday use among the managers of hotel enterprises relatively recently. As a practical discipline, crisis management began to actively develop in the 1990s. It was at this time that the objects and subjects of crisis management were determined, different approaches to definition were outlined, tasks, methods, and methods for solving them were formed. The article considers the existing approaches to the definition of crisis management, proposed by Russian and foreign scientists. The most interesting definitions of crisis management, which are used in the hotel business, are indicated. In the framework of the above definitions, examples are given on the implementation of crisis management in practice (in Russia and in foreign countries). Particular attention is paid to the classification of crises that affect the activities of hotel enterprises. Internal and external factors influencing the development of the hotel business are highlighted, and their ranking has been carried out. According to the results of the study, the shortcomings of the approaches to crisis management are presented, and a personal interpretation of the definition is proposed. World experience shows that crisis management was interested in scientists and practitioners from various fields: management, economics, finance, law, mathematical modeling, econometrics, programming, etc. Moreover, interest in crisis management arose most often at times when the world economy underwent a number of negative impacts. Currently, these phenomena have become quite frequent. Due to the fact that the markets and industries of the world have become interconnected, the financial market crisis leads to a decline in the development of the tourism industry, which in turn affects the hotel business.

This study seeks to unpack the implications that the COVID-19 pandemic has placed on the South African domestic tourism market. In particular, the study considers how, given the negative impacts that have been felt with international travel being largely restricted, many destinations who traditionally rely on tourism will approach domestic tourism post the restrictions. Given South Africa’s previous aggressive campaigns which sought to promote domestic tourism in the country, the value of this focus area cannot be overlooked. The need for empirical research that assesses the attitudes of people regarding travel and tourism beyond the pandemic in a country that has been one of the hardest-hit on the African continent is equally important in this respect. Data for the study was sourced from interviews with key informant personnel in the domain of tourism coupled with an online questionnaire survey that was collected from respondents through the Google Forms Application. The key findings from the study reveal that a majority of the respondents were generally satisfied with the management of the pandemic in the country and were willing to wait until all restrictions were lifted before travelling again. Moreover, many of the respondents felt that they would likely travel more domestically in order to assist the tourism industry recover post-COVID-19 and would actively help market the country to friends and relatives in assisting with the recovery marketing initiatives. However, major concerns were raised about the financial possibilities of the domestic tourists as well as the lack of effective communication and cooperation between the private sector and the government regarding tourism’s recovery plan.

The present study allows researchers to examine the influence of innovation on organizational competitiveness of 430 small hospitality and tourism companies in a country emerging from a turbulent past, Colombia, and in particular analyzes companies from the cities of Cali and Popayan. Data were collected through face-to-face survey research. First, the researchers performed a confirmatory factor analysis for validating the scale. Second, for the examination of the hypotheses, structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed. The findings show a significant, direct, and negative relationship between innovation and competitiveness, presenting the discussion of possible negative impacts for small hospitality and tourism companies in emerging contexts. Empirical evidence found allows to fulfill the gap between this relationship in terms of the different and possible effects of innovation in an emerging context and considering this type of companies on the hospitality and tourism industry.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has tremendously affected the African continent and the rest of the world. Most businesses have closed and a lot of people have lost their jobs. The aviation industry has been shaken to the core with airlines losing millions of dollars and flights being cancelled. The tourism industry has consequently been affected due to restricted travel of tourists, impacting wildlife conservation and livelihoods. Schools, colleges and universities have been closed. The virus has infected millions of people and hundreds of thousands of people have died globally putting strain on health systems especially those of hard hit countries. Various countries all over the world have put measures to control the spread of the virus through lockdowns and social distancing policies. The reduced economic activities and mobility of people has resulted in improved air quality, cleaner water and beaches in some countries. However there are also negative impacts such as challenges in waste management, increased pharmaceutical and household waste and discovery of the corona virus in wastewater, a potential threat to public health. A considerable amount of research has been done on the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 in Africa but there is still limited research on its impact on the environment. This paper serves to highlight the observed and potential environmental impacts of COVID-19 in Africa.

Responsible Tourism

Throughout this book we have been looking, primarily, at the negative impacts of tourism on the marine environment. It would appear reasonable to lay the blame for this at the door of the tourism industry, which facilitates the vacations that cause this harm and makes money from exploiting the marine environment and the other natural resources of tourist destinations around the world. However, things are not always that simple, as we will see in this chapter. For in tourism, and certainly land-based tourism, it has often been the tourism industry itself, and particularly the tour operation sector, which has often been leading the way on responsible tourism, often with little encouragement from the tourists themselves and usually no government regulation forcing them to act. Their motives may not have been altruistic but, nevertheless, they have taken action on a number of fronts, while events like the Responsible Tourism Days at World Travel Market in London have sought to share good practice around the tourism industry.

The considerable increase in tourism activities over the years equates to notable economic and social benefits. Patent as one of the most emergent sectors of the global economy, the degree and prospect of tourism growth, however, raises concerns on its negative environmental and social impacts. Conserving these environments is of utmost importance as damage to environmental quality can eventually destroy the tourism industry. The launch of eco-labels to environmentally vulnerable tourism organizations and destinations is presently being implemented in many countries in an effort to protect the natural and socio-cultural resources of a destination. A number of eco-labels exist within the tourism industry in South Africa. These eco-labels are anticipated to have a profound effect on the contribution towards sustainable tourism within the country as these are considered to be highly compatible with sustainable tourism initiatives. This study provides an overview of eco-labels in South Africa and examines the benefits and barriers associated with eco-label certification. A quantitative research approach was used, and the data was collected utilizing an online questionnaire. A census sampling approach was used to target 104 tourism businesses in South Africa that have eco-label certification. The key eco-labels targeted in the study were the Blue Flag, Fair Trade in Tourism, Heritage Environmental Management Company, and GreenLine - certified by Heritage. The study revealed that tourism businesses in South Africa do experience several benefits through eco-label certification. However, businesses also encounter many barriers with eco-label certification in terms of high costs associated with being certified, the lack of general public awareness regarding eco-labels and the absence of government support. Consequently, cost reduction, promotion of public awareness as well as government support are the main areas of improvement suggested by tourism establishments with regards to eco-labels.
