Description
Summary:COVID-19 is a health crisis of incalculable proportions and never comparable, so it will, according to forecasts, be responsible for the most serious global economic crisis in recent decades (IMF, 2020). Projections state that economies that are more dependent on tourism will be more susceptible to escalating unemployment (OECD, 2020). Tourism is the set of lawful activities developed by visitors due to their travels, the attractions and the means that originate them, the facilities created to satisfy their needs and the phenomena and relationships resulting from both (Cunha, 2010). We conduct a systematic literature review using an integrative synthesis of published peer-reviewed literature on tourism and leadership. Our search in web of science databases identified 122 publications on this topic of several research areas. Our review of these articles addresses the following 2 questions: (1) What kind of studies have been developed on the topic? (2) What is the possible relationship between the literature review about tourism and COVID-19? (3) what are the most used words in studies that address the impact or effect of covid-19? To answer these questions, we use a systematic literature review with bibliometric methods of co-word analysis. We conclude that relationship between tourism and COVID-19 seems to be on the research agenda, particularly, studies about the impact of COVID-19 on tourism activities.
