COVID-19 impact on tourism in Spain 2020-2021
The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the travel and tourism sector worldwide, as governments around the globe closed their borders and imposed mobility restrictions to dampen the spread of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). In Spain, a year into this global crisis meant a reduction of more than 110 billion euros in the contribution of tourism to the country's gross domestic product (GDP). Additionally, Spain counted over 800 thousand jobs losses in this sector between April 2020 and March 2021.
