The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on tourism flows is without precedent in terms of speed and severity. In this paper, we try to infer a possible future scenario for the tourism sector, evaluating the medium-term effects of past pandemics on tourist arrivals. We find that pandemics lead to a persistent decline in tourist arrivals, with the effects being larger in developing and emerging countries. Interestingly, the effects are heterogeneous across countries and episodes, and depend on several economic conditions such as the overall health system performance, the severity of the shock, and the uncertainty induced by the pandemic event.

Climate change and tourism demand: Risks for extreme heat?
Heliyon
September 2024
School of Hotel and Tourism Management, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 17 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China.
Extremely high temperatures have become a major hurdle to tourists' experiences in various destinations. In this study, we present the first nationwide estimation of the temperature-tourism response function using a fine-grained panel dataset constructed by matching tourism data and daily meteorological datasets for 280 cities from 2005 to 2019 in China. Results show a non-linear relationship between temperature and tourism employing the temperature bins method, which is not sensitive to response equations.

Article Synopsis
- - An analysis of tourism in the Tremiti Islands (TI) highlights that high tourist activity, especially in August, leads to significant territorial exploitation, with many arrivals but low occupancy rates.
- - The study addresses the impact of climate change on the islands, noting rising air and sea temperatures, and proposes measures to promote sustainable tourism.
- - A calculation of CO emissions from ferry transport and waste management is included, along with a proposed environmental tax of 1.47 €/capita aimed at reducing CO emissions, which could be positively received if funds are used for environmental initiatives.

Lab. of Molecular Virology, Dept. of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Cagliari, Italy. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- Italy faced the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak unevenly, with Sardinia having one of the lowest incidence rates, potentially due to its insular characteristics.
- The study analyzed 2,327 SARS-CoV-2 genomes collected from Sardinia to investigate genetic diversity and evolutionary patterns over three years.
- Findings indicate that Sardinia experienced unique COVID-19 trends, including the introduction of rare viral lineages caused by tourism and its geographic isolation, affecting the spread of common variants.

Climate change affects the comfort level of tourists visiting coastal areas. Researching these impacts is important for a more comprehensive understanding of climate change and for developing effective adaptation solutions. Considering this fact, the study derived the Holiday Climate Index (HCI: Coast, HCI: Urban, and HCI: Combined) in the Mediterranean coastal provinces of Türkiye from 1976 to 2020.
