This workshop aims to explore sustainable and regenerative tourism initiatives and practices in Gulf countries in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tourism is considered the most inclusive sector and directly and indirectly benefits many sectors, including manufacturing and services, at various stages of development. Tourist expenditures create value across tourism activities, including hospitality, transport, retail, entertainment, and cultural activities. Indirectly, tourism contributes to income in other sectors, such as telecom and financial services. However, tourism was one of the worst-hit sectors globally and in the Gulf region by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lock-down measures and travel restrictions slashed domestic and international tourist arrivals and earnings from the sector. While tourist inflows decreased significantly in 2021 and 2022, the demand spurred considerably in 2023 and 2024. The increase in tourist arrivals was perceived as a positive phenomenon. Yet, the increased inflows have led to over-tourism in specific locales, thereby creating adverse effects on the local ecosystems. This questioned the sustainability of tourism activities in these destinations. Against this background, the proposed workshop focuses on sustainable and regenerative tourism opportunities in Gulf countries after COVID-19. More specifically, the workshop will represent a platform to collect and share ideas about future sustainable and regenerative strategies for tourism development in the Gulf countries.
