The Covid-19 Pandemic and Tourism: Reflections for an Agenda for the Area

One of the sectors most affected by the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic was tourism, which suffered direct impacts, with a strong retraction in its activities. Thus, it is important to understand how themes related to crises and emergency situations have been internalized in the academy. The objectives of this study are to analyze and problematize relationships that can be made between the Covid-19 pandemic and Tourism, prompting the establishment of a research agenda. The research, bibliographic and descriptive, with a predominantly qualitative approach, focuses on the theses, dissertations and disciplines of 11 post-graduate programs in Tourism in Brazil, on topics such as the pandemic, crisis management and management of risk. Gaps were found on these themes in the area of Tourism in the Country. It is considered relevant to reflect on potential issues related to emergencies to be internalized in the Tourism area, which can contribute to different sectors of tourism for facing global crises experienced by humanity.
