Welcome to the first virtual special issue (VSI) of the International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management (IJCHM) in 2021!
This VSI compiles 22 timely, strong and impactful articles on managing crises, disasters and pandemics that have been previously published in IJCHM. Many of the articles included in this VSI present findings and discussions related to the Covid-19. These articles can help researchers working in these areas, instructors teaching courses related to hospitality and tourism management. Should you enjoy perusing the articles within this VSI, we would greatly encourage you to share the link with other scholars, colleagues, students and industry partners. This year, we plan to publish two more VSIs on specific topics. We welcome your thoughts and recommendations, and also any suggestions of new articles published in IJCHM to add to this list on managing crises, disasters and pandemics.
