The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic revealed the vulnerability of the tourism industry, triggering a call for a structural shift. This study focuses on COVID-19 impacts on primate tourism sites using the resilience-based wildlife tourism study of Jones et al. (2023) as an interpretive framework. Using an online survey, we collected data on impacts, changes, and challenges experienced at primate tourism destinations in various parts of the world. Based on 33 responses, the study found that the most profound impacts were financial, compromising the ability to run facilities and facilitate tourism due mainly to limitation of access to sites for tourists and/or staff/researchers. Seventeen respondents reported that their sites did not make substantial changes in response to the pandemic. This warrants further study to elicit the reasons for the lack of response. It may indicate difficulties in adaptation or implementation due to limited resources or other factors amid COVID-19 pandemic. We suggest that the framework proposed by Jones et al. (2023) has limitations in effectively addressing rapid and extensive repercussions of a disruption such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行暴露了旅游业的脆弱性，引发了结构性转变的呼声。本研究利用 Jones 等人基于复原力的野生动物旅游研究，重点研究了 COVID-19 对灵长类动物旅游景点的影响。 （2023）作为解释框架。通过在线调查，我们收集了有关世界各地灵长类旅游目的地所经历的影响、变化和挑战的数据。根据 33 份回复，研究发现最深远的影响是财务方面的，主要由于游客和/或工作人员/研究人员进入景点的限制，损害了设施运营和促进旅游业的能力。十七名受访者表示，他们的网站没有针对疫情做出重大改变。这值得进一步研究以找出缺乏回应的原因。这可能表明在 COVID-19 大流行期间，由于资源有限或其他因素，适应或实施存在困难。我们建议琼斯等人提出的框架。 （2023）在有效解决诸如 COVID-19 大流行等破坏的快速和广泛影响方面存在局限性。
