摘要：This paper presents the current situation of tourism and the main possible consequences of the pandemic on tourism in the coming period, using the forecasts of the UNWTO, the European Commission and comparisons with some economic and social crises of the last 20 years. Due to the limited mobility and the social distancing, tourism is the most sensitive economic sector in terms of pandemic control measures. The restrictive measures introduced to limit the spread of the pandemic have affected the economic activity and paralyzed tourism. There are many studies that show the effect of some previous global crises on tourism, but none of the past pandemics had such severe effects that this one seems to have. However, tourism is recovering rapidly. UNWTO, other relevant organizations and governments have been continuously involved in supporting tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the immediate measures to support tourism, a sustainable approach to tourism is needed, to learn from the crisis and anticipate trends.
