The Impact of Covid-19 on Tourism - (A Case Study of Deoghar)

Author(s) Neeketa Sinha, Amrita Chowdhury

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted tourism in Deoghar, causing unprecedented economic and social challenges. Field survey data revealed that 76% of respondents experienced significant impact, with 70% of businesses completely shutting down and 36% of individuals experiencing total income cessation. The pandemic triggered a comprehensive economic breakdown, affecting small businesses, religious tourism, and local livelihoods. Transport services halted, tourist movements restricted, and local economic ecosystems collapsed. Deoghar, already identified as one of the most COVID-vulnerable districts in India, faced compounded challenges due to poor infrastructure and limited healthcare facilities. The tourism sector experienced a dramatic decline, with religious events like Shravani Mela and Kanwar Yatra canceled, further exacerbating economic distress. The pandemic's ripple effects extended beyond immediate economic losses, undermining social interactions, cultural exchanges, and community resilience. Recovery strategies must prioritize innovative approaches, infrastructure development, and comprehensive support mechanisms to rebuild the tourism ecosystem
