The aim of this paper is to study the effects of the spread of the COVID-19 virus in different regions and its impact on the economy and regional tourist flows. To this end, the researchers have been guided by a set of propositions which they have tried to demonstrate with the results obtained. This research shows that the impact of the pandemic is still being evaluated. The analysis of the relationship between the tourism sector and the pandemic outbreak in Spain provides an instructive case study to assist tourism in its recovery process. The paper delves into the impacts on the main Spanish touristic regions during the pandemic and providing implications for tourism recovery. In Spain, the tourism sector is of major economic importance, becoming one of the most vulnerable countries when crisis affects this industry. The negative image of the country due to the high infection rates has had a negative impact on travel and tourism. The Balearic Islands have been the most affected region with an 87% decrease in tourist visitors. The trips made by Spanish residents inside the Spanish territory shows the first increase found in the series analyzed. Domestic tourism not only represents an opportunity for all regions in this critical situation, but the types of accommodation also play a key role.
本文旨在研究 COVID-19 病毒在不同地区的传播及其对经济和区域旅游流量的影响。为此，研究人员遵循了一组命题，并试图用得出的结果来证明这些命题。这项研究表明，大流行的影响仍在评估中。对西班牙旅游业和大流行病爆发之间关系的分析为旅游业的复苏过程提供了一个有益的案例研究。本文深入探讨了疫情期间西班牙主要旅游地区的影响，并为旅游业的复苏提供了启示。在西班牙，旅游业具有重要的经济意义，在危机影响到这个行业时，西班牙成为最脆弱的国家之一。由于高感染率而导致的国家负面形象对旅行和旅游业产生了负面影响。巴利阿里群岛是受影响最严重的地区，游客减少了 87%。西班牙居民在西班牙境内的旅行是分析中首次出现的增长。国内旅游业不仅在这种关键时刻为所有地区提供了机会，而且住宿类型也起着关键作用。
