目的本白皮书旨在为JTF读者提供关于2019年12月在武汉爆发的新冠病毒中国目前正在进行的快速视角。这项研究将目前的疫情定位在以前的大流行中，并为研究和实践提供了一些方向。由于世界各地旅行的增加和到达目的地的便利，疾病暴发和大流行将变得越来越频繁，因此需要迅速关注这一事件以及旅行和旅游业的未来。本文的设计/方法/方法来自已发表的学术研究，以及随着新的冠状病毒情况的展开而出现的当前媒体来源。此外，作者借鉴了两位作者(一位基于旅游研究，另一位是流行病学家和公共卫生专家)的多学科专业知识。研究成果本文捕捉了目前正在展开的关于新型冠状病毒的事件，将其与过去严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)和埃博拉等大流行的研究文献联系起来，并得出一些重要方向来指导研究和实践。这是一篇观点论文，提供了一些与当前新型冠状病毒爆发相关的新观点、问题和挑战。这一点在一部大型研究文献中得到了更广泛的阐述，这些文献以非常简洁的方式被用来证明这一观点。未来的研究将需要探索更广泛的文献。这一观点对地方一级和区域/全球一级的实践提供了以下宝贵的启示：通过传播与所涉疾病(在这种情况下是新型冠状病毒)有关的准确事实来打击错误信息和仇外心理是至关重要的；旅游利益攸关方(包括服务提供者和目的地管理组织)和公共卫生当局之间的密切合作和合作；居民和游客更有责任寻找关于这种疾病的正确科学事实，采取合理的预防措施，并对遭受不利影响的人保持警惕；需要更具体地对脆弱目的地进行全球协调和关注(在危机管理和恢复研究中建议，但尚未很好地实施)。如上所述，在实际影响下，这一观点确定了在新冠状病毒等疾病暴发以及SARS和埃博拉等先前暴发期间出现的不公平和不公正方面的重要社会影响。这些问题包括歧视和种族主义以及与控制对脆弱目的地的影响有关的不公平现象，这些目的地的卫生设施可能远远不足以应对这种疫情的爆发，以及游客和居民中间接或直接影响目的地的错误信息的挑战。原创性/价值这一观点是在新的冠状病毒流行展开之际提出的，希望通过开放获取的期刊迅速分享它将有助于更好地管理对以下问题的研究：在一个流动性和旅行预测增加的世界中，目的地和社会未来将继续面临越来越大的挑战。
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a swift perspective to JTF readers on the novel coronavirus outbreak that commenced in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and is currently ongoing. The study situates the current outbreak within prior pandemics and offers some directions for research and practice. Swift attention is needed to this event and the future of travel and tourism in a world where disease outbreaks and pandemics will become increasingly frequent due to increased travel and ease of access to destinations worldwide.Design/methodology/approach This paper draws from published academic research studies, as well as current media sources emerging, as the novel coronavirus situation is unfolding. In addition, the authors draw on the multidisciplinary expertise of the two authors (one based in tourism studies and the other an epidemiologist and public health expert).Findings This paper captures events on the novel coronavirus, as they are unfolding now, situates this in relation to the research literature on past pandemics like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Ebola and draws some important directions to guide research and practice.Research limitations/implications This is a viewpoint paper and offers some emerging perspectives, issues and challenges arising in relation to the current novel coronavirus outbreak. This is situated more broadly in a large research literature that has been drawn on in a very succinct manner to ground this viewpoint. Future research will need to explore the larger literature.Practical implications This viewpoint offers the following valuable implications for practice at the local level and the regional/global level: countering misinformation and xenophobia through the communication of accurate facts related to the disease in question (the novel coronavirus in this case) is essential; close collaboration and cooperation between tourism stakeholders (including service providers and destination management organizations) and public health authorities; greater responsibility by residents and tourists to seek out correct scientific facts on the disease and take sensible precautions, as well as exercise care to those suffering the adverse impacts; and global coordination and attention to vulnerable destinations is needed more concretely (recommended in crisis management and recovery studies but not well implemented yet).Social implications As noted above under practical implications, this viewpoint identified important social implications in terms of inequities and injustices that arise during disease outbreaks like the novel coronavirus and prior outbreaks like SARS and Ebola. These range from discrimination and racism as well as inequities related to managing the impacts on vulnerable destinations whose health facilities may be far from adequate to handle such outbreaks and the challenges of misinformation among visitors and residents that indirectly or directly affect the destination.Originality/value This viewpoint is being submitted as the novel coronavirus epidemic is unfolding, and it is hoped that sharing it speedily via an open access journal will assist in better managing the research of what will continue to be an increasing future challenge for destinations and societies in a world of mobilities and increasing travel forecast.
