Around 58% of tourists arrive at their destination by air and the stop in air
traffic has created a massive negative effect on that industry as well. Over $630 billion
in reduced GDP benefits from air travel-related tourism will be matched with 26.4
million jobs lost. But tourism in a wider sense is also very hard-hit, with analysis
suggesting the pandemic could translate into a drop of 850 million to 1.1 billion
international tourists and a loss of $910 billion to $1.2 trillion in export revenues from
tourism, putting 100 to 120 million direct tourism jobs at risk.
