Synopsis (short abstract) Damage caused to tourism by the new coronavirus pandemic, as well as the quarantine measures introduced as a part of the response to this pandemic, is almost immeasurable. In the long run, the most significant fact is that the impacts and damages done to tourism are not purely economical in their nature, but also impactful on the tourists’ behaviour and habits and especially on the emergence of new expectations by both tourists and tourism providers. Meanwhile, local communities in rural areas are much less prepared and less resistant to the possible emergence and spread of the virus in the community. Therefore, the aim of this brochure is to educate the accommodation providers in rural areas on how to prepare their households for the arrival of tourists, how to meet their expectations and offer them the safest possible accommodation and full enjoyment in accordance with traditions and world-renowned hospitality and, at the same time, enable the best possible utilization of their accommodation capacity potential, and the households themselves. These guidelines are aligned with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health and Public Health Institute of Montenegro at the time of its publishing (July 2021), the guide to safety and health protocols for COVID-19 of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Economic Development and allow household owners to apply for the participation in the Safe Travel Program of the National Tourist Organization, helping them to get the COVID-19 safe destination label.

    The world continues to face an unprecedented threat from the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Many countries are introducing physical distancing measures as one of the ways in which transmission of the disease can be reduced. The purpose of these guidelines is to highlight additional measures so that the integrity of the food chain is maintained, and that adequate and safe food supplies are available for consumers. This guideline is an update from FAO to the 2020 interim guideline.

    The impacts of COVID-19 and policy responses in rural economies - Findings from a local-economy general equilibrium modelling study

    The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and government policies to limit its spread are multi-faceted and complex. Market linkages transmit these impacts through economies, from directly affected actors to others in both the urban and rural spheres. Economic contexts, including the structure of local economies, shape the transmission of impacts on rural men and women. Because of this, the pandemic, lockdowns, and mitigation policies influence outcomes in complex ways. In most cases, the magnitudes and even the signs of impacts cannot be determined ex ante. In this study, we use multiple local economy-wide impact evaluation (LEWIE) models to estimate the impacts of the pandemic and lockdowns on rural producers and households in a diversity of economic and agro-climatic settings, using simulation methods. We also examine the likely effects of alternative migitation measures.
