Territorial impact of COVID-19 on European tourism

Territorial impact of COVID-19 on European tourism

The tourism sector is one of the sectors most heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This goes beyond the 2020 and 2021 tourist seasons. Also future trends shaping the tourism sector have been affected. Knowing more about this may help the sector to recover and reinvent itself in the next years, or pose new challenges.

The following presents key findings from a survey conducted between January and March 2021. Key players in the tourism sector provided insights on the impacts of COVID across Europe's tourism areas, on trends, and on possible policy initiatives to make the sector more resilient.

We thank all respondents for sharing their insights. Your contributions to the survey helps us to further our work on the study "regional economic impact of the COVID crisis on the tourist sector in the EU" for DG REGIO.
