ABSTRACT:
COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on all the global economies in which the tourism industry was a key leader. In this global scenario, India is an emerging stable economy where the tourism industry plays a critical role and has been stable and sustained over all the crises observed in the last 100 years. However, in the wake of the pandemic, the government had to enforce major changes in the policies regulating domestic and international travel. This study focuses upon the initial framework of the Indian tourism industry, and its scenario pre- and postCOVID, with a detailed analysis of its impact and future recovery plans. Based on a systematic review of the scenario, the study thus concludes that while the travel industry has observed an unprecedented setback, there is potential for it to push back against market trends through mitigatory efforts in the future.
