The crash in international tourism due to the coronavirus pandemic could cause the global economy to lose more than US$4 trillion for the years 2020 and 2021, according to a recent United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report.
The estimated loss has been caused by the pandemic’s direct impact on tourism and its ripple effect on other sectors closely linked to it.
