| Summary: | The COVID-19 pandemic has caused blockages in all economic sectors, but tourism is the most
affected one. The rapid evolution of the crisis and the unknown characteristics of the pandemic makes
it extremely difficult to estimate the real impact of COVID-19 on international tourism. Quarantine
measures, flight cancellations, bans and border closures are expected to reduce international tourist
arrivals by 20% to 30% by 2020 (UNTWO, 2020). This article presents the effects caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism sector. The research methodology consists of statistical
indicators regarding the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the tourism sector and an analysis
of the results. The results underline that, in all countries, the coronavirus pandemic has affected the
tourism sector, but the intensity to which has done it is different. |
