Impact of Covid on Toursim
Many people know of Corona issues but don't realize the tourism industry has been hit hard by many factors due to covid. Although citizens are looking for ways to get back into the outdoors and enjoy the weekend, they also let the tourism industry know that there is still an active community of travellers interested in supporting the tourism industry. Tourism can significantly impact local jobs, the hotel industry, and small businesses, so it's essential to keep this industry thriving at all costs!
The tourism industry is feeling the heat of Covid's impact. The number of travellers going to popular destinations has decreased significantly. In addition, those who are willing to take a risk with their travel plans often find that popular tourist sites have been closed for safety reasons. As a result, travel agents, trekking companies, hotels, transport companies, and other small businesses struggle and are closing down and filing bankruptcy.
