Webinar on the Impact of COVID-19 on Tourism and Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSME) in the CAREC region

On 30 November 2021, the CAREC Institute held a virtual webinar titled “Impact of COVID-19 on Tourism and Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSME) in the CAREC region.”
This webinar shared findings of the Institute’s research on how smaller firms coped with the pandemic in selected CAREC countries and elaborated on lessons for policymakers in the region. It also helped policymakers from CAREC and interested audiences exchange views about challenges in their respective economies and options to tackle the negative consequences of the current situation. The participants were able to share their thoughts and ask questions about strengths and opportunities of the tourism sector, MSMEs, and e-commerce in the region.
