Abstract: A huge tourism loss has undoubtedly resulted from COVID-19, but few studies have attempted to quantify it. This paper presents a post-investigation of the loss of China’s tourism revenue caused by COVID-19 in 2020. The natural trend theory is employed to estimate tourist flow in China without COVID-19, and the loss of tourism revenue induced by COVID-19 is computed by multiplying the decrease in tourist arrivals by the average expenditure. The results show that in 2020, the total loss of China’s tourism revenue induced by COVID-19 is in the range of US $618,995,929,706 to US $665,682,125,283.
