A chapter in Tourism Analytics Before and After COVID-19, 2023, pp 1-17 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has brought health, economic and social challenges to the world. Though the world begins to slowly move from COVID-19 crisis management to economic recovery and reopening, it is clear that international travel is unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels in the short term. Periods of contagion, self-isolation, and economic uncertainty change consumer needs and behaviors, thereby affecting businesses. Our focus subject, Hong Kong, is also one of the victims of global COVID-19 pandemic, whose epidemic prevention and control measures have worked relatively well so far. The number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong is relatively stable and fewer than that in more than 130 other countries or regions. Hong Kong has about 1,360 diagnoses per million people, about a tenth of the global average of about 12,740. It is obvious that the relatively small number of infections in Hong Kong is a result of extremely strict immigration control measures. In fact, repeated outbreaks of COVID in the year 2020 have frozen Hong Kong’s tourism industry, and many industries have been hit hard as well as unemployment has continued to rise.
