Turismo internacional pode cair quase 80 por cento devido ao vírus

May 11, 2020 - As chegadas turísticas internacionais caíram 22 por cento no primeiro
trimestre de 2020 devido ao coronavírus, e a crise pode levar a um declínio de 78 por cento no ano, segundo a Organização Mundial do Turismo.

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.
