ABSTRACT

The premise for a volume was a radical re-evaluation of tourism, defined and experienced until recently in terms of clearly circumscribed places and temporalities, in order to examine the in-between situations in which everyday and "non-everyday" activities and spaces for leisure and work are becoming hybridised. The most recent developments in their Black Forest case study area are attributable notably to global warming and the COVID-19 crisis. This chapter analyses social media to show clear changes in footfall models for the theme park based on the geographic origins of visitors and the crisis caused by the COVID-19 epidemic. With the exception of the chapter, none of the contributions in the volume focus exclusively on the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on tourism. Diversification of the range of products marketed by some professionals is also likely to continue, notably with a view to greater resilience in the event of future crises.
