全球化和时空压缩的进程主要由新自由主义议程和各种空间收缩技术的进步推动，在过去75年里以几乎无可争议的方式显著重塑了世界。这些进程的最重要成果之一是国际旅行的普及和随之而来的旅游业的全球扩张。作为有史以来第一股有效阻止(甚至扭转)全球化和时空压缩的主要力量，新冠肺炎的爆发也让整个旅游行业陷入停滞。在这方面，我们几个月前才知道的旅游业已经不复存在。尽管世界为此付出了巨大的代价，但暂时的去全球化进程为旅游业提供了一个前所未有的重新启动的机会--一个不可复制的机会，可以按照可持续发展的原则重新发展，消除旅游业增长的各种“阴暗面”，如环境退化、经济剥削或过度拥挤。然而，一旦新冠肺炎危机得到解决，全球旅游生产体系将走什么样的再发展和转型道路还有待确定。
The processes of globalisation and time-space compression, driven mainly by the neoliberal agenda and the advancement of various space-shrinking technologies, have markedly re-shaped the world over the last 75 years in an almost unchallenged manner. Amongst the most significant outcomes of these processes have been the popularisation of international travel and the accompanying global expansion of the tourism industry. As the first major force ever to effectively stop (or even reverse) globalisation and time-space compression, the COVID-19 outbreak has also put on hold the whole travel and tourism industry. In this respect, the tourism as we knew it just a few months ago has ceased to exist. Although the price the world is paying for this is enormous, the temporary processes of de-globalisation offer the tourism industry an unprecedented opportunity for a re-boot - an unrepeatable chance to re-develop in line with the tenets of sustainability and to do away with various 'dark sides' of tourism's growth such as environmental degradation, economic exploitation or overcrowding. However, the path of re-development and transformation which the global tourism production system will follow once the COVID-19 crisis has been resolved is yet to be determined.
