This Subchapter discusses the socio-economic importance of the global travel and tourism industry from its contribution to GDP and employment, according to the statistical data in the period before the COVID-19 pandem-ic. Apart from the travel and tourism industry's positive impacts, we de-scribe its evidence-based harmful effects when its high-growth development path is unbal-anced, thus negatively impacting the quality of local communities' social life, heritage, and natural environment. The presented key data on the travel and tourism industry before the COVID-19 pandemic show this industry's unsustainable development path (at the regional and global levels). We con-ceptualize mass and overtourism as unsustainable phenomena of rapid and unbalanced travel and tourism growth, triggered by political, economic, technological and social changes and destination's tourism strategies, fo-cused on volume growth instead of optimizing tourism benefits. Negative consequences of high-growth tourism are described in several practical ex-amples of tourist destinations worldwide. The presented statistical data and forecasts show the enormous consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global travel and tourism industry and support the thesis that this indus-try is one of the major victims of a current global health crisis. COVID-19 pandemic is discussed as good for nothing and a mandatory turning point of new, more sustainable global tourism development directions. (original abstract)
