PhD title: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the central Pyrenees: An opportunity for the transition to sustainable tourism in European mountain destinations?

Brief description: Taking into account the context of the health crisis and the specific characteristics of the tourist destination before, during, and after the COVID-19 period, this research aims to understand the social impacts—sociocultural, socioeconomic, and socioecological—of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global tourism sector and, specifically, on tourism in the central Pyrenees through the social sciences, linking the existing relationships between mountain tourism and cross-border tourism within the framework of sustainable development. To this end, methodological triangulation is used to analyse the phenomenon from the perspective of tourism supply and demand. Finally, a series of proposals aimed at the recovery, planning, and responsible management of the tourist destination are developed.
