ABSTRACT

This paper seeks to highlight underlying issues of the tourism system that have led to tourism extremes of too much or too little tourism. Five phases are recognized that reflect different ways of dealing with too much tourism over time, after which the impact of a sudden lack of tourism is investigated in light of future renewal processes. This discussion highlights the remarkable capacity of the tourism industry to adjust to rapidly changing circumstances and crises, even when these cause anguish to individuals and within societies at large. The paper thus seeks to contextualize the current discussions regarding the transformation of tourism post COVID-19. It highlights the complexity of changing a tourism that multiple stakeholders depend on or have grown accustomed to. To come to a more balanced tourism, it is necessary to not only come up with alternative visions and strategies, but also to engage with the political economy nature of tourism development. A future research agenda should therefore also discuss facets of entangled power, social exclusion, inequalities and class differences to come to new reference points of what actually constitutes a more inclusive tourism success.

摘要

本文旨在强调导致旅游过度或旅游过少的旅游系统的潜在问题。五个阶段​​被认为反映了随着时间的推移处理过多旅游的不同方式，之后根据未来的更新过程调查突然缺乏旅游的影响。这一讨论突出了旅游业适应快速变化的环境和危机的非凡能力，即使这些会给个人和整个社会带来痛苦。因此，本文试图将当前关于 COVID-19 后旅游业转型的讨论置于背景中。它强调了改变多个利益相关者依赖或已经习惯的旅游业的复杂性。为了实现更平衡的旅游，不仅有必要提出替代的愿景和战略，而且还需要考虑旅游业发展的政治经济性质。因此，未来的研究议程还应讨论权力纠缠、社会排斥、不平等和阶级差异等方面，以得出真正构成更具包容性的旅游成功的新参考点。
