Although the impact of COVID-19 is inordinately enormous, there remains a lack of attention to the new governance architecture, the African Union High-Level Task Force (AU-HLTF), in Africa's aviation and tourism sectors in its wake, which this paper primarily examines. We foregrounded governance themes of political economy within the African Union High-Level Task Force (AU-HLTF) through secondary data, observing 90 key industry leaders and 10 purposively sampled semi-structured interviews. We found the insignificant priority in tourism restart via LCCs first, the incongruent holistic relationship between the restart of the aviation and tourism sectors. Secondly, the historical-geographical material relationships within the new governance framework. Thirdly, the AU-HLTF intervention is actor-biased towards the aviation sector and rooted in path dependency. A hierarchical-mixed market governing typology we propose by arguing is a steering mechanism of public sector reform that alternatively reboots a balanced path towards sustainability by prioritizing intra-tourism promoted by low-cost carriers.

COVID-19 与非洲航空和旅游业:未来的新议程?
尽管 COVID-19 的影响异常巨大,但非洲航空和旅游部门的新治理架构、非洲联盟高级别工作组 (AU-HLTF) 仍然缺乏关注,本文对此进行了研究。主要检查。我们通过二手数据、观察 90 位关键行业领导者和 10 次有目的地抽样的半结构化访谈,在非洲联盟高级别工作组 (AU-HLTF) 中突出了政治经济的治理主题。我们发现,通过低成本航企重启旅游业的优先顺序并不重要,航空业重启与旅游业重启之间的整体关系不一致。其次,新治理框架下的历史地理物质关系。第三,非盟高级别工作队的干预偏向于航空部门,并且植根于路径依赖。我们提出的分层混合市场治理类型是公共部门改革的指导机制,或者通过优先考虑低成本航空公司推动的内部旅游业,重新启动一条通往可持续发展的平衡道路。
