ABSTRACT
In the first part of 2020, the COVID-19 health crisis had a huge negative impact on the tourism sector. With the easing of the lockdown restrictions in the summer there was a relative return to the activity which was very uneven depending on the territories and types of tourist accommodation. The objective of this study is to analyse the situation of supply and demand for rural tourism in Catalonia during the summer of 2020, and its relationship with sustainability. The research hypothesis proposes that proximity tourism experienced strong growth in Catalonia in the summer of 2020, with rural spaces and the type of rural tourism establishment being the main beneficiaries, offsetting the decline in international tourism, enabling, at the same time, the consolidation of sustainable tourism practices.
ABSTRACT
The impact of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 may deepen the situations of malnutrition, where it will be necessary to adapt food programs to this new context. The objective of this work was to present the methodology and the main results of the process of formulating a federal guide based on scientific evidence and adapted to the reality of the child and adolescent population that attend school canteens in the 24 jurisdictions of Argentina. It was observed that the modalities for the implementation of SC during the pandemic were: food modules (the most frequent);food modules delivered at school with regular SC support and, food and/or snacks delivered daily. There was little evidence at the global and regional level on specific recommendations applied to the implementation of SC, although recommendations on hygiene and food handling were found. Based on a participatory process among key actors, specific recommendations were obtained according to the dimensions of food and nutrition security (FNS). It is concluded that it is necessary to increase participatory experiences in the design of recommendations based on evidence, adapted to the territory and that assume a comprehensive approach from the dimensions of FNS.
