Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

 

Thank you for your paper and an enjoyable read. Here are some notes to assist in improving the paper:

Page 1, Lin14-15: "craftswomen has suffered the most" In what context, Peru? What about restaurants? Hotels? etc

Page 2, line 44: remove 'the'

Page 2, line: 76 'was remarkable' - what was?

Introduction: 'virtual intervention' is not clearly explained. Please review.

The methods section does elaborate more on virtual intervention protocols but it still needs to mentioned earlier.

The methods section is very clear and can be replicated easily.

The results section is clear although I could not test the data, I am assuming it is correct.

The conclusion is very short and has no limitations. Was the government correct in their covid-19 responses? Has the virtual intervention protocols now lapsed or can still be accessed? Perhaps this is a future study which haven't been mentioned either? 

I believe it is necessary to not just reset tourism and use intervention protocols to reset tourism. It needs to be acknowledged that the borders were closed to tourists therefore only local tourism could occur if any. This is either a limitation or needs to be weaved in the conversation of the paper as you need tourists to sell to. Also, most tourists buy these products when they see them and not necessarily in e-commerce stores. It should be worded that this is another way of sales but not their main way of selling traditional products.

Response: A paragraph was added in the conclusions responding to the observation made.

I believe it is necessary to not just reset tourism and use intervention protocols to reset tourism. It needs to
be acknowledged that the borders were closed to tourists therefore only local tourism could occur if any.
This is either a limitation or needs to be weaved in the conversation of the paper as you need tourists to
sell to. Also, most tourists buy these products when they see them and not necessarily in e-commerce
stores. It should be worded that this is another way of sales but not their main way of selling traditional

Reviewer 2 Report

Well written paper focused on interesting topic  - suggestions are following: 

Literature review should include more theoretical sources related with the craftwork, craftworkers and women aspect / reputable and newer date literature units 

Better presentation of research questions or hypothesis, results of testing

Better explanation of Figure 1

Better explanation of Figure 1

Response: Thank you very much for the comment, the improvements were made to the document.

However, after applying the intervention, modifying behaviors to adapt to this new situation of reactivation, it is observed that the specific measures applied in two of the three stages are with greater benefit to increase the general level of compliance with the general regulations, in other words, it is enough to apply the specific measures in the first (before) and second stage (during),  to obtain a greater result in compliance with the general level of the regulations against COVID 19, therefore the a priori hypothesis is modified: "As long as the specific regulations are practiced in stages 1 and 2, compliance with the general rules of COVID 19 is ensured."          

Explanation: limitation of the study and future research?

Response: Thank you very much for the comment, the improvements were made to the document.
