How can these firms enhance their resilience? This paper presents a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed publications on company resilience within the tourism industry to address these critical questions. Despite the current significance of these topics, existing research is fragmented and unconsolidated. Our findings reveal a range of perspectives and factors that influence company resilience, with clear evidence that human capital plays a pivotal role in the tourism industry’s ability to remain resilient. We also identify theoretical and practical implications, along with directions for future research.engCompany resilienceDeterminants of resilienceTourism industryHuman capitalSystematic Literature Reviewjournal article2025-04-14cv-prod-426792010.54055/ejtr.v39i.36541314-0817
