Abstract: The research analyses the tourism situation in Extremadura (Spain) in recent years to assess whether the COVID-19 pandemic has been an opportunity to revitalise these destinations. An analysis was carried out at the municipal level using contextual variables and tourism indicators obtained from surveys of the National Institute of Statistics. The data were processed and compared using Geographic Information Systems, allowing for a spatial and temporal assessment. The results provide a detailed overview of the current state of tourism in the municipalities of Extremadura, determining whether pre-pandemic levels of activity have been recovered and identifying the municipalities with significant improvements in their tourism potential during the period studied.
