Title: Exploring research methods for tourism resilience
Journal: CACTUS - The Tourism Journal for Research, Education, Culture and Soul
Abstract: This paper examines various research methods used in the study of resilience in tourism across European Union(EU) Member States. To this end, several relevant literature articles were reviewed. In the theoretical research process, particular attention was paid to the research methods employed by researchers to analyze resilience in tourism, the indicators used, and the results obtained. The article aims to present a concise overview of the most commonly used research methods for analyzing tourism resilience in EU Member States, focusing on two major crises that severely impacted these economies: the financial and economic crisis (2008–2010) and the crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2022). The research proposes a set of indicators, constructible from Eurostat data, for future analyses using multiple linear regression techniques and offers a modest methodological proposal for further studies to explore the role of key factors contributing to tourism resilience within EU countries.
