Pandemic, Service in Rural Households and the Rural Environment
Tourism is sensitive to all kinds of crises caused by natural disasters: infectious diseases, conflicts, energy losses, economic and political instability, etc. There is a large number of studies that deal with the negative consequences that the pandemic has had on tourism, and destruction of large tourist centers, but few of them have recorded the opposite effect or the importance of the expansion of visits to villages in that period, or saw the rural setting as an advantage to encourage investing in the quality of rural services recovery. The search for solutions to overcome the crisis in the tourism sector is an acute problem and focuses on changing the direction of tourism and its sustainable approach, and also focuses on mutual benefits for non-agricultural activities.

Meanwhile, generational changes, especially in the dimension of knowledge perception, indicate such a need.

Destination Social Responsibility and Environmentally Responsible Behavior
The critical factor for sustainable destination development is the role of stakeholders as essential players in the process of sustainable destination development.

Understanding the key factors contributing to environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) is imperative.
