b.    Based on various theories and frameworks on tourism planning and development, discuss whether tourism policy should be connected to the health and hygiene policy in a destination, including benefits and drawbacks of such a connection.
c.    What is the role of tourism stakeholders in implementing the tourism and health policy? How are they affected in the short and in the long-term?
Should a destination proactively use preventive measures, in order to stop a potential epidemic/pandemic outbreak? In order to answer this question the student needs to choose a tourism destination that imposed measures to protect itself from the Covid-19 pandemic and assess their effectiveness as well as the impacts these measures brought on the destinations tourism and economic development.
