First to be hit by the pandemic and last to recover, the travel and tourism industry is considered to be one of the most severely affected sectors. The paper tries to highlight the vulnerabilities of GDP, employment and related activities of the tourism sector by looking at it through a macro perspective using data from the World Bank, International Labour Organization, the United Nations World Trade Organization and, the World Travel and Tourism Council, in addition, substantiating the results through micro evidences in the form of case studies. The paper, using quantitative and qualitative methods, shows that GDP, employment and related activities are susceptible to the pandemic- COVID-19 and suggests how to pandemic-proof the sector that not only contributes significantly to GDP but weaves the thread of interconnectedness across the world.

Review of a monograph: Guy Fiti Sinclair. To Reform the World: International Organizations and the Making of Modern States. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017. 368 p.The book by Guy Fiti Sinclair is a highly professional and richly contextualized scientific research which analyzes the processes of expansion of powers exercised by international organizations under international law. Particular attention is devoted to the reasons which made this expansion possible and legitimate.Sinclair views international organizations as the creatures, instruments and even originators of international law which incarnated and epitomized its transformative potential for the purposes of their expansion and development. Heterogeneous interests and ambiguous functions of the International Labour Organization, the UN, and the World Bank are inspected through the prism of their abilities to intervene in the name of international law and, at the same time, to subject themselves to its improving and modernizing influence.The reviewed work comprehensively explores the state-making activities of full-fledged democracies and the ambivalent consequences of such modernization which usually deploys under the guise of transformative liberal ideology.
