| Summary: | The present study focuses on understanding the current research on the sports and tourism facing the COVID-19 pandemic. A review of the contemporary literature is considered to
identify and classify research that focuses on the sports and tourism industries in the time of Covid19. The primary purpose of review was to identify and analyze the findings of relevant studies that are addressing defined research question. Restrictions imposed on the spread of the virus have affected all aspects of human life, including sports and tourism. As a result of the pandemic, we have severely restricted travel, canceled sports events, empty hotels, closed theaters, restaurants, cafes, and bars. That has had devastating consequences for the sports and tourism industries. Above limitations have made two things lucid - the desire of people to get out of the house and have the opportunity to travel beyond their daily movement, and recognition that physical activity and the ability to watch sports event, are a significant factor in supporting and ensuring the wellbeing of the people. These concepts are discussed in detail. Also, the matter of promoting electric scooters as an alternative to vehicles for urban mobility is discussed. The study proposes that at this early stage, while the pandemic is not yet about to recede, as evidenced by the current state of the world, it is too early to draw any far-reaching conclusions. But in this context, some basic concepts formed for further analysis of the issue. Undoubtedly, life after the pandemic will be quite different, and it is time for tourism and sports policymakers and organizers to start preparing for that. |
