Global economy loses over $4T to COVID-19 impact on tourism

unwto logo Ironically, tourism losses are reduced in most developed countries but worsened in tourist-dependent developing countries because of vaccine inequity. South-East Asia was among the most affected regions. And pre-COVID-19 international tourist arrival levels is not expected to return until 2023 or later. This was according to a United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report , jointly presented with the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), today (June 30). International tourism and its closely linked sectors suffered an estimated loss of $2.4 trillion in 2020 alone, due to the direct and indirect impact of a steep drop in international tourist arrivals. A similar loss, of $1.8 trillion to $2.4 trillion is expected in 2021, the report warned, noting that the tourism sector’s recovery will largely depend on the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines globally.
