The current COVID-19 pandemic is leading to significant changes in terms of people's economic behavior, which will inevitably impact the tourism industry and tourism activity both worldwide and in tourism host countries. Immediate control measures, such as necessary restrictions on travel, avoiding physical contact, social distancing, as well as tourists' and patients' changes in priority making, have vanished interest in traveling away from the place of usual residence and seeking to receive tourism services. COVID-19 pandemic has caused immediate impacts across the whole spectrum of economic and social activity. The duration and intensity of the arising malfunction in tourism are not yet known; thus, it is too early to make any assessments of the financial losses that will be recorded on an annual basis. However, an initial approach is necessary in order to assess the range of to date impacts, aiming at a critical appraisal of the current situation. It will mainly help in making the appropriate pandemic management plan in the tourism industry.
当前的新冠疫情正在导致人们经济行为发生重大变化，这将不可避免地影响全球以及旅游接待国的旅游业和旅游活动。即时控制措施，如对旅行的必要限制、避免身体接触、保持社交距离，以及游客和患者在优先级选择上的变化，已经消除了人们离开常住地旅行并寻求接受旅游服务的兴趣。新冠疫情已经对整个经济和社会活动领域造成了即时影响。旅游业出现功能失调的持续时间和强度尚不清楚；因此，现在就对每年记录的财务损失进行任何评估还为时过早。然而，有必要采取初步方法来评估迄今为止的影响范围，以便对当前形势进行批判性评估。这将主要有助于制定旅游业适当的疫情管理计划。
