Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused blockages in all economic sectors, but tourism is the most affected one. The rapid evolution of the crisis and the unknown characteristics of the pandemic makes it extremely difficult to estimate the real impact of COVID-19 on international tourism. Quarantine measures, flight cancellations, bans and border closures are expected to reduce international tourist arrivals by 20% to 30% by 2020 (UNTWO, 2020). This article presents the effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism sector. The research methodology consists of statistical indicators regarding the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the tourism sector and an analysis of the results. The results underline that, in all countries, the coronavirus pandemic has affected the tourism sector, but the intensity to which has done it is different.
