Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented disruption to the global tourism and hospitality industry, resulting in massive economic losses, job reductions, and structural transformations. This article examines the recovery process of the tourism and hospitality sector in the post-pandemic period, focusing on key drivers, challenges, and strategic responses. Using a systematic analysis of international reports, academic literature, and industry data, the study highlights the role of digitalization, sustainability, government support, and changing consumer behavior in shaping recovery outcomes. The findings emphasize that a resilient and adaptive approach is essential for long-term recovery and sustainable growth in the post-pandemic era.
