COVID-19 – a global insight on travel and tourism impacts
UNWTO & Data Partners
21 April 2020

 

According to UNWTO’s Report on COVID – 19 Related Travel
Restrictions, as of 6th April, around 96% of all worldwide destinations
have introduced travel restrictions in response to the pandemic.
• About 43% (90 destinations) have completely or partially closed their
borders.
• About 21% (44 destinations) have introduced travel bans to
passengers coming from certain destinations that have been affected
by COVID-19.
• About 27% (56 destinations) have suspended all or partially
international flights into the destination.

 

The detailed report shows the dramatic reduction globally and where it is likely to hit the ground.  Many charts and maps are shown which clearly illustrate both the issue and the global response.

Until there is confidence that the global pandemic is under control and that some places or events can be secured as safe places this trend is  going to continue.

The Global tourism industry and the communities which depend on it are among the most affected and will need significant help to reestablish their source of income.
