Impact of Covid-19 on the travel and tourism industry: aviation, hospitality and airbnb

Abstract

Covid 19 has impacted various aspects of people's lives worldwide, and therefore, has affected many sectors. Tourism is probably one of the industries that has experienced the effects of covid the most, as travel was the first to be banned in order to limit the transmission of the virus. This thesis discusses the direct connection between tourism and the economy, followed by the pandemic's influence on airlines, hotels, and Airbnb. Additionally, it addresses the case of Greece, a country whose economy is primarily reliant on tourism. This study aims to examine the impact of the pandemic on the tourism sector and the recovery efforts required to reach previous years' standards steadily but surely.
