Volume 7

Because the CoVID19 pandemic has dramatically reduced the volume of travel worldwide, small communities that formerly had income from tourism have no choice but to function—do business and provide services— differently. This webinar shares new community-based accomplishments in nurturing tourism business conduct, resilience, confidence and codependency, emotional intelligence, and community empowerment to proactively succeed during the current hard times and in the years ahead. Our panel of experts will focus on tourism and healthcare businesses in small communities. The panelists will discuss the evidence-based guidance that they provide to diverse small communities, each with its own mix of micro-entrepreneurs and businesses. The discussion will result in practical operational and management recommendations. Their responses to questions from webinar participants will further shed light on the effective implementation of community-based strategies for recovery.
