Abstract

There is now an even greater need to develop a truly holistic valuation of "nature-dependent tourism", comprising all tourism that has some link to, and dependency on, nature and natural ecosystems. With the first known case of Covid-19 reported in China on 31 December 2019, 2020 has witnessed the single-biggest disruption to the global tourism industry since records began, with devastating economic impacts. We argue that tourism needs nature, and that it is critical to develop a holistic valuation of "nature-dependent tourism", comprising all tourism that has some link to, and dependency on, nature and natural ecosystems.
