VOICED : La pandemia cuesta 460.000 millones de dólares al turismo mundial en primer semestre

The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted global tourism, costing $460 billion in the first half of 2020. International travel dropped by 65% due to border closures and mobility restrictions. The Asia-Pacific region was hit hardest, followed by Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. Key tourist destinations like Spain and Italy were significantly affected. The UN World Tourism Organization predicts a gradual recovery starting in 2021, contingent on lifting restrictions and vaccine availability, but a full return to pre-pandemic levels may take 2-4 years.
