Travel and Tourism Industry | ECA
The tourism sector is among the most affected industries by the coronavirus crisis. The UNWTO estimates that global international tourist arrivals are declining by 20-30 %. The unemployment in the sector is contantly growing. As presented by Antonio López de Ávila for the Spanish tourism cluster Turisfera in the meeting on 6 May, the sector faces the big challenges: reopening of borders, regaining the trust of the travellers, and reducing uncertainty. Safety will be the main concern for the future development of the sector.
Which kind of support and what tools do the stakeholders in the tourism sector need?
