El turismo internacional se desplomará hasta 80% debido al virus

May 11, 2020 - El turismo internacional se desplomó 22 por ciento en el primer trimestre de 2020 debido al coronavirus, y la crisis podría llevar a una caída de hasta 78 por ciento para todo el año, según la Organización Mundial de Turismo de Naciones Unidas.

March was the worst affected month, with a 57 percent drop in tourist arrivals following the widespread introduction of travel restrictions and the closure of airports and national borders to curb the spread of the virus, the UN body said.

There were 67 million fewer international travellers between January and March, leading to a loss of around $80 billion in revenue, according to the Madrid-based organisation.

The UNWTO said that prospects for the year depend on how quickly international borders open up again. Under a best-case scenario, based on easing of travel restrictions in early July, international tourist arrivals could fall by just 58 percent. However, if borders and travel restrictions are only lifted in early December the decline could be as much as 78 percent.
