| Sumario: | The recent article published by geographer David Harvey (2020) in the midst of the pandemic situation we are going through, highlights the current role that Geography has in the analysis of COVID-19 as a problem not only health, but also, political, economic and environmental, which reveals the uneven territorial development generated by global capitalism.
Likewise, the context of the pandemic highlights the central role of tourism as a form of human mobility and, therefore, as a propagator of COVID-19 on a planetary scale; at the same time as highlighting its importance as a form of global consumption, as it is one of the socioeconomic activities most affected by the measures taken to stop the propagation of the virus.
The work proposes an essay on the tourism-COVID 19 relationship, according to the changes and renovations of Human Geography and the characteristics that tourism adopts in the current pandemic situation. In this sense, the analytical frameworks of contemporary Tourism Geographies are taken to board this relationship from complexity and in a broader social context. |
