Tourism in many countries, particularly in developing economies, depends largely on such natural assets as forests, coastlines and wildlife and are linked to such environmental conditions as clean air and water.  Given the interdependency of tourism and the environment, the environmental impacts of COVID-19 have short- and long-term implications for the tourism sector, which is already disrupted by mobility and travel restrictions.  This document is intended as a primer for those working on tourism and COVID-19 recovery and highlights critical challenges as well as short- and longer-term opportunities.  It is organized in four areas and provides recommendations and further resources.
