Abstract: Abstract The tourism industry has been characterized as one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the world, being of great importance for countries and their economies. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic affected tourism and the hotel industry due to the restrictions imposed in different countries and regions because of the health emergency. This led to the cancellation of many scheduled trips and meagre sales of products and services derived from this sector of the economy. Given this situation, this study analyses the research output on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism sector between 2020 and 2021. The methodological approach is based on a bibliometric analysis of 153 scientific publications on the topic of study developed in this period. These documents were retrieved from a search equation used in the Scopus database. Among the findings are aspects related to the impact that the sector had from the economic and social point of view, with the areas of business administration and social sciences having the most significant participation in the subject. The dynamics between entrepreneurs and employees of the different tourism-related companies, the implications for tourism-dependent economies and the emergence of new markets are identified. It also identifies a wide distribution in its study in different regions of the world, given the nature of the pandemic and its worldwide effect.
