Abstract
This study aims to point out what measures were adopted at the local level to face the pandemic caused by COVID-19. The challenge of the current context lies in the pressures from the trade-off between the reopening of economic activities of a municipality in which tourism is the only economic activity and the recommendations for isolation and social distancing, except essential services. Utilizing documentary and content analysis, this study enabled the authors to consider the locus defined in the case study as a municipality of atomized governance, prioritizing economic aspects to the detriment of socio-environmental and socio-cultural aspects in the constituent phases of the crisis management modus now conferred and (re)adapted. Moreover, sustainable planning that proposes and harmonizes the recovery of the local tourism industry with the precepts of sustainability advocated by the United Nations was absent, given the impacts caused by COVID-19 in the post-pandemic scenario.
