Abstract
This paper aims to comprehensively examine the interrelationships between sustainable tourism, diseases, and tourism. In several previous publications, the authors explore the connection between pandemics and their impact on socio-economic development, including the tourism sector. Such an approach is crucial, as the pursuit of sustainable development (in its various aspects) requires analyzing and forecasting the influences of pandemics and tourism, both individually and interdependently. In this context, the paper represents an attempt at a theoretical examination of these interrelations, with the authors supporting their arguments with relevant examples where appropriate.
