The emergence of Covid-19 around the world is a major upheaval in all sectors of society, from the economy to politics to our respective lifestyles. Individual states have seized upon the situation with measures that run counter to contemporary principles of free movement of people. The tourism industry has been permanently affected by this health crisis and the various political and health measures taken over the past 18 months (Dumont, 2020).
These measures raise a number of questions about the transformations in the behavioural habits of travellers and host communities, the dualities between political decisions and lifestyles, health and society, and finally resistance and resilience.
In the same vein as Altman (1974) Malterre and Chanteloup (2015), a methodology for observing tourists and their tourism practices has been set up as of summer 2020 in different European tourist areas known as Club Med (Greece, France, Spain, Bosnia-Herzegovina), in just over 50 different tourist structures. The aim of this observation is to better understand the different tourist behaviours and activities following the Covid-19 and in the face of political and health constraints, at different levels of governance (European, state and local) according to a culturalist approach based on the political and socio-cultural diachrony of a same geographical space (the European space) subdivided into as many national spaces.
