Tourist consumption loss due to COVID-19 in Italy 2020, by sector

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit global travel and tourism hard in 2020, with governments implementing lockdowns and emergency restrictions to limit the spread of the virus. In Italy, it was estimated that the pandemic caused a total loss of roughly 88 billion euros in tourist consumption that year. The hospitality sector experienced the highest decrease in consumption, losing 32 billion euros in 2020 over the previous year. Meanwhile, the estimated loss of food and drink services amounted to roughly 12 billion euros. Due to the health crisis, the share of GDP generated by travel and tourism in Italy nearly halved in 2020 when compared to 2019.

2020年，新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）疫情对全球旅游与旅游业造成严重冲击，各国政府纷纷实施封锁政策与紧急管控措施以遏制病毒传播。据估算，当年意大利因疫情导致的旅游消费总损失约达880亿欧元。住宿接待行业的消费降幅最为显著，2020年较上年损失达320亿欧元。与此同时，餐饮服务行业的估算损失约为120亿欧元。受此次公共卫生危机影响，2020年意大利旅游与旅游业创造的GDP占比相较2019年近乎减半。
