tourism industry in the Indo-Pacific region has been hit hard by the Covid
pandemic. Flights have been curtailed and hotels and resorts are going empty.
The introduction of the vaccine has brought some hope that the end of the
pandemic is in sight According to ILO, in several Asia and Pacific countries more
than three in four workers in the tourism sector are in informal jobs thus leaving
them vulnerable to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. The session will
seek to examine the ways and means to boost the ailing tourism industry – a
much needed source of revenue for many countries.
