Abstract:
It is a pleasure to present the first issue of Volume Two of the South
Asian Journal of Tourism and Hospitality (SAJTH). The tourism sector
is negatively impacted by the rapid changes in the industry due to the
Covid 19 pandemic and political and economic instability in the South
Asian region. In this volume we are therefore looking mainly for specific
contributions to the tourism industry, focusing on new trends and
developments within different sectors that will likely affect all tourism
in the region. Further, South Asia possesses many valuable tourist
resources and attractions, which could be crucial vehicles in reducing
the region's persistent poverty. However, the regional potential of
tourism has mainly remained unrealized. For this reasons, the SAJTH
has decided in this volume to focus on exploring the promotion of
intraregional tourism.
