Events are considered to be integral parts of global tourism and currently, they are experiencing massive turmoil in the form of cancellations or postponements thanks to the recent outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which has been declared as a pandemic of the 20th century. Again, events have been touted as one of the ‘super spreaders’ aggravating the spread of the deadly disease. In this regard, many scholars have called for restarting tourism (events included) with a sustainability focus. Despite its multifaceted nature, the implications of COVID-19 on various events tourism have been understudied in the light of pandemic situation thanks to the novelty of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2). This paper undertakes a systematic review of scientific literature to discuss the recent developments in various global events amidst COVID-19 and the implications of the disease on event management. This chapter also depicts a framework for managing events tourism safely and securely with a sustainability focus. The said framework, in particular, may serve as a guide for administrators (DMOs), practitioners and academicians to follow in the post-COVID-19 period.
