Context
The current COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the tourism industry. Accurate forecasting of the magnitude of the impact on the tourism industry and the market recovery is critical for strategic planning for tourism destinations and tourism-related businesses. In this context, the Curated Collection of Annals of Tourism Research on Tourism Forecasting has issued a call for tourism forecasting in July 2020. Nineteen tourism researchers from around the world expressed interest and formed three competing teams: Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Africa. Their reports on the forecast results are included in this special collection (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/annals-of-tourism-research/special-issue/106R29J4DX5).
