Travel and Tourism in a Post-Pandemic World - Bani Ghumman, St. Catherine's School
The Covid-19 pandemic brought the whole world to a standstill, and majorly affected the travel industry. The global pandemic affected tourism-dependent countries negatively, making the impact of the crisis deeper and much longer-lasting than for other economies. Tourism rates are not expected to recover to 2019 levels until 2023. In the first half of 2020, tourist arrivals fell globally by more than 65%, with a near stop in April, according to ongoing IMF research on tourism in a post-pandemic world. If you are wondering whether it is worth trying to travel at the moment, my recent experience might help you decide.
