Access to subjects was selected in a purposive sampling method through Interviewing with 14 people, theoretical saturation occurred here. The results showed that the consequences of the coronavirus on sports tourism included 40 sub-categories, which were placed in 9 main-categories. Finally, four concepts of job outcomes, event, sustainable development, and post-coronavirus ones were obtained. The results showed that the suggested solutions included 51 sub-categories placed in 11 main categories. Finally, five concepts were obtained that were Economic, health, infrastructure, management, and post-coronavirus solutions. Theoretically, having seen for future studies in the field of sport tourism and sport management foundationally, results can be used to help scientific richness in these fields complete.

The research is based on the applied purpose, in terms of the nature of the explanation and has a quantitative approach. Based on the minimum sample (100 samples), 108 questionnaires were completed and measured by Smart-PLS software. According to the results, the proposed structural model for the supply sector in the face of crisis has been approved.

The reaction of the community towards tourists is based on their perception of costs/profits of tourism. COVID-19's outbreaks led many host to believe that costs they receive from having tourists around, outweigh the benefits and this perception in turn, negatively influenced their reaction towards tourists. The perception of cost, by the community members, in a chain sequence, leads to the perception of threat, the formation of a negative attitude and, ultimately, the occurrence of negative behavior. In line with this trend, the purpose of this study is to investigate the attitude and the reaction of community towards tourists during the outbreak of Covid-19 in Ramsar destination. Integrated threat theory was used to shape the theoretical framework. The research method was qualitative. The statistical population was the citizens of Ramsar. The sampling method was judgmental and the sample size was considered to be 21 people based on achieving theoretical saturation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed based on content analysis and open and axial coding. the research findings presented new dimensions of host-tourist interaction in the Corona period based on the combination of theories of social exchange and integrated threat. According to the findings while general perception towards tourists was negative, some locals with emphasizing the dependency of local livelihoods on tourism, believed under certain conditions, tourists should be welcomed back to the city. In both cases, health and safety of locals should come first.

Tourism industry has long been recognized as one of the most vulnerable industries in crises. Health-related crises such as epidemics can have directly significantly negative impact on tourism. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between secure attachment dimensions, experiential co-creation dimensions and future experiential intentions among tourists who have traveled to tourist destinations during the outbreak of Covid-19 virus. In order to achieve the goal of the research, a sample of 248 tourists who traveled to tourist destinations during the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus was selected in the convenience method and using an online questionnaire distributed on social networks related to tourism. The present research, in terms of practical purpose, and the method of collecting data is survey data and is considering the relationship between variables, correlation with emphasis on structural equation modeling. The results of testing hypotheses, using SPSS and Smart PLS 3.0 software, indicate that secure attachment has a positive effect on the experiential trust of tourists. At the same time, experiential trust affects the tourist's experiential commitment and experiential connection with the destination. Finally, the results showed that experiential commitment is the most important antecedent for tourists' experiential intentions in the future. The results will assist tourism operators in developing and implementing market-orientated service strategies to increase secure secure attachment and experiential co-creation in order to enable tourists to have future intentions to experience the destination during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The present study, in terms of purpose is applied research which has been conducted in terms of survey method at the exploratory level and based on the future-studies approach. The propulsive forces are determined by the Delphi method, and then these factors are determined based on the degree of importance level and uncertainty, prioritization ,and the most critical factors, and the software-Mic Mac- is used to write possible scenarios. In the scripting stage, 34 general variables were identified and defined in this software. Findings indicate that among these variables, behavioral behavior, immigration, inflation and social capital are the most influential key factors of behavioral geography influencing the tourism industry of Shiraz metropolis dealing with infectious diseases.

The spread of Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) has affected the tourism industry more than any other industry; the closure of foreign borders, domestic travel restrictions, the cancellation of flights, and the closure of accommodation and tourist sites have all caused severe consequences in the tourism industry. Continuation of this trend has reduced the level of competitiveness of most countries in the world to obtain more resources and benefits from travel and tourism thus far. In this regard, this article was to recognize and cluster the stimuli affecting the future competitiveness of tourism in Iran for the post-COVID era by using structural analysis. Theoretical data were collected using desk research, and experimental data by field method (interview, panel of experts, and cross-cutting questionnaire). The statistical population of this study was 20 experts and academic experts, using the Delphi technique and judgmental or purposeful sampling method. 41 stimuli in 4 dimensions of environmental empowerment, the readiness of conditions and legal framework of tourism, infrastructural readiness, and empowerment of natural and cultural resources are processed by structural interaction analysis method in MICMAC software. The findings of this study indicated that the stimuli clustering system indicates their concentration in the dual propulsion cluster. Also, among the 41 tourism competitiveness stimulus for the post-COVID era, the stimulus of boosting travel tours to attract tourists (infrastructural readiness), the choice of Iran due to previous experience (readiness of conditions and legal framework of tourism), and travel leap readiness and decent hosting of tourists (infrastructural readiness) are ranked first to third with 385, 364 and 361 direct impact, respectively. According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that the type of 10 initially identified stimuli with high direct impact is of the type of infrastructural readiness.

Given to the worldwide spread of Covid19 and it’s impacts on the tourism industry, from the researchers and experts perspective, the entrepreneurial strategic renewal of corporates operating in this industry to continue activities is of essential importance. Current study is a practical qualitative research. The data was collected using descriptive-exploratory method and the study is completed in two phases which in the first phase 23 articles of 142 prototypes were precisely reviewed using meta-synthesis method and the data was coded based on content analysis. According to the studies and the results of the first phase, in the second phase we interviewed 10 experts and managers of tourism firms. The open coding, axial coding and selective coding method were applied for analyzing the collected data. Finally four influential components in strategic renewal including creativity and innovation, leadership, human resources and capabilities were identified.
