코로나 19 이후 아프리카 SIDS의 관광산업회복과 시사점

초록

COVID-19 has been a major disaster for Small Island Developing States (SIDS) around the world. Most SIDS are heavily dependent on tourism for their economies, and are characterized by small domestic markets and low levels of export diversification. African SIDS have demonstrated efforts to address the crisis at the national level, and some are on the road to recovery faster than expected. This study examines the international community's proposals for tourism recovery in SIDS and analyzes the adequacy and limitations of the policies implemented by SIDS in Africa. In particular, Mauritius, a country that has successfully recovered its tourism industry, was selected as a case study to explore the pathways for SIDS in Africa to move towards tourism sustainability and resilience to external shocks. The COVID-19 pandemic reminds African SIDS that tourism recovery must be accompanied by sustainable development goals.
