Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is a requirement in home, corporation, community, country, and the entire world, for its importance in this period, for self-control, and the reduction of material and moral losses when humanity passes both together. In COVID-19, the best solution to get out of the crisis is not only using new technology but also using emotional intelligence (EQ) as well. Establishing outstanding leadership requires twice as much EQ as other skills. Controlling emotions and communicating fairly with others achieve power and prosperity.
Tourism authorities, like all others, are confronted with several challenges, needing numerous decision-making tactics to find the optimal solution to problems. The study aims to help tourism leaders develop EQ skills to deal efficiently with the obstacles that lead to efficient management. The issue is how to achieve tourism integration versus competition.
The research contributes:
1) EQ management as a flexible core of integration in the tourism sector.
2) Consider abundance rather than scarcity.
