Abstract: The study searches for the presence of a tourism-led growth path after a negative shock. Both the presence of a tourism role in the recovery process and the existence of a spatial interdependence across regions are investigated. The purpose of the study is to look at insights, provided in particular by the experience of the 2007–2008 crisis in European regions, that can be useful to build a recovery after any future shocks, as for example the COVID-19 pandemic resulted to be. The findings show the presence of a strong spatial dependence in the recovery process and, furthermore, the positive potential that tourism activities exert on the ability to recover favouring positive spillovers across regions.
