This special issue is a reflection by tourism scholars on the initial impacts of the-19 pandemic on the world, with travel and tourism being among the most significant to bear those impacts. However, instead of an analysis of the impacts of-19 on tourism places and sectors, as is the emphasis for many other journal issues this year, the papers in this issue focus on visions of how the pandemic of 2020 are contributing to a possibly substantial, meaningful and positive of the planet in general, and tourism specifically. This is not a return to 'normal' that existed before – but is instead a vision of how the world is changing, , and transforming into something different from what it was before the 2020 pandemic experience.
