In an ever-changing world which characterizes by the decline of hospitality, the anthropological insight is essentially vital to envisage the future of Western civilization. Amitai Touval adventures to reach a much deeper and better understanding of hospitality; en his recently-published book, [An anthropological study of Hospitality: the innkeeper and the guest], which is formed by two chapters, he offers a more than interesting argument. The first chapter, which entitles The Inkeeper, speaks us of his experiences in Eastern Germany. Rather, the second one goes through the evolution of hospitality in the digital media as well as virtual world. In so far as technology monopolizes hospitality, the guest-host relations are more impersonal. The author discusses critically the limitations of Airbnb.

The recent virus outbreaks recently occurred in Wu-Han (China) not only has shown the vulnerability of the tourism industry but also stopped the world. Specialists and colleagues of all pundits have been debated hotly on the effects of COVID-19 on the tourism industry as well as the future of tourism research. For some voices, Coronavirus disease should be esteemed as a valid opportunity towards a more sustainable world (Gossling, Scott & Hall, 2020; Higgins-Desbiolles, 2020; Prideaux, Thompson & Pabel 2020) while for other it poses a serious challenge for the future of the industry (Korstanje 2020). Beyond this discrepancy, COVID19 has been widely and rapidly disseminated through the modern means of mobilities and transport which connected dispersed geographical areas in hours. Basically, and in weeks, the virus –originally spread in China- arrived in Europe and the US. In almost a month, the disease expanded to the rest of Latin America and Africa affecting all nations in the earth. The pandemic has unfortunately left 665.231 deaths infecting almost 17.040.985 (numbers updated in July). Although governments adopted different tactics and strategies, they consisted in several restrictions to global mobilities and tourism such as the cancelation of all incoming flights, national borders as well as the airspace, and the imposition of a lock-down which impeded internally the transit of persons. One of the most castigated countries were the US (152.945 victims) followed by Brazil (88.792 victims), the UK (45.961), Mexico (44.876), Italy (35.129) and Spain (28.441) only to name a few. What is more important, COVID-19 ushered the tourism industry in an unparalleled crisis which today needs from the inter-disciplinary research to find success post-pandemic strategies for a rapid recovery. Because of this, this thematic issue section brings together papers from professional researchers, scholars, and post-graduate students, as also policy-makers, that bring their advances with a strong focus on the effects and consequences of Coronavirus in tourism and hospitality. ; Los recientes brotes de virus ocurridos en Wu-Han (China) no sólo han mostrado la vulnerabilidad de la industria turística, sino que también han detenido al mundo. Especialistas y colegas de todas las tendencias han debatido acaloradamente sobre los efectos del COVID-19 en la industria del turismo, así como sobre el futuro de la investigación turística. Para algunas voces, la enfermedad del Coronavirus debe ser estimada como una oportunidad válida hacia un mundo más sostenible (Gossling, Scott & Hall, 2020; Higgins-Desbiolles, 2020; Prideaux, Thompson & Pabel 2020) mientras que para otras supone un serio desafío para el futuro de la industria (Korstanje 2020). Más allá de esta discrepancia, el COVID19 se ha difundido amplia y rápidamente a través de los modernos medios de movilidades y transportes que conectaron zonas geográficas dispersas en horas. Básicamente, y en semanas, el virus -originalmente difundido en China- llegó a Europa y Estados Unidos. En casi un mes, la enfermedad se expandió al resto de América Latina y África afectando a todas las naciones del planeta. La pandemia ha dejado, desgraciadamente, 665.231 muertos infectando a casi 17.040.985 (cifras actualizadas en julio). Aunque los gobiernos adoptaron diferentes tácticas y estrategias, éstas consistieron en varias restricciones a las movilidades globales y al turismo como la cancelación de todos los vuelos entrantes, de las fronteras nacionales así como del espacio aéreo, y la imposición de un bloqueo que impedía internamente el tránsito de personas. Uno de los países más castigados fue EE.UU. (152.945 víctimas), seguido de Brasil (88.792 víctimas), Reino Unido (45.961), México (44.876), Italia (35.129) y España (28.441), sólo por nombrar algunos. Y lo que es más importante, COVID-19 sumió a la industria turística en una crisis sin precedentes que hoy necesita de la investigación interdisciplinaria para encontrar estrategias exitosas post-pandémicas para una rápida recuperación. Por ello, esta sección temática reune trabajos de investigadores profesionales, académicos, estudiantes de postgrado, y formuladores de políticas públicas, quienes presentan sus avances con un fuerte enfoque en los efectos y consecuencias del Coronavirus en el turismo y la hostelería. ; Os recentes surtos de vírus ocorridos recentemente em Wu-Han (China) não apenas mostraram a vulnerabilidade da indústria do turismo, mas também impediram o mundo.
