The Operational Status of travel and tourism infrastructure determines whether services—such as airports, hotels, or public transport—are fully functional, partially restricted, or temporarily suspended. This concept is critical for travelers, tour operators, and authorities to ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance with regulations. Understanding the nuances of Operational Status helps mitigate disruptions and enhances planning in an industry highly sensitive to external factors like weather, political instability, or health crises.
