However, since the emergence of the Covid-19 outbreak in early 2020, the tourism industry and its related sectors, including hotels, food and beverage establishments, cleaning services, local tour guides, and transportation, have experienced considerable setbacks. The performance of the tourism industry amid the Covid-19 outbreak has received significant attention.
