COVID PASS – IMPACT ON TOURISM AND TOURISM WORKERS AND EMPLOYMENT IN TOURISM

Abstract

The pandemic in the past, more than two years, various reactions of the countries of the world to the protection of people from pandemics, etc., have had a huge impact on the life we have known so far. The introduction of covid passes a year ago, as another reaction to the suppression of the pandemic, has provoked a very large number of discussions that have remained without a clear epilogue so far. However, the introduction of covid passes has had the greatest impact on tourism and related activities (air and road transport, especially international) in every possible sense - restricting travel, and movement in general. This situation inevitably affected employment in the sector and introduced a number of difficulties, in addition to all those that already existed before the pandemic period. The authors of this paper draw a parallel between trends in tourism in general and employment in tourism and catering etc. before the pandemic and throughout, with special reference to the period after the introduction of covid passes.
