| dc.description.abstract | The importance of the risk to tourism and hospitality operations from pandemic-related crises has increased.
Therefore, the current study offers a literature review targeting tourism and hospitality stakeholders’ perceptions
of past diseases and has three objectives: (1) Explore major topics from previous research on infectious diseases
using topic modeling; (2) compare non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 crises; (3) investigate research topics in the
tourism and hospitality industries. To meet our research objectives, we reviewed published pandemic-related
articles in the tourism and hospitality literature since the year 2000. Based on the results, we first identified
nine key topics related to infectious diseases (i.e., policy, human resources, branding, resilience, technology,
global or community change, risk perception, disease impact, and lifestyle). Second, we suggest the application
of different topic weights in non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 research. Third, we found that it is appropriate to
apply different topic weights in tourism and hospitality research. | vi |
