The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted tourism and leisure activities worldwide, especially in the hospitality sector. This paper has a conceptual and empirical motivation based on two objectives. First, it identifies several of the primary factors behind the vulnerability of tourism to COVID-19 (tourism dependency, market structure, the supply of rural accommodation, and health incidence of the pandemic). Second, it constructs a vulnerability index to COVID-19 using Spain and its 50 provinces as case. The main results obtained indicate that tourism to the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, the provinces of the Mediterranean coast, and Madrid, in which the state capital is located, present higher vulnerability to COVID-19, yet with different underlying factors. Our methodology and results are of interest to policymakers in terms of the short- and medium-term strategic policies that can be employed to mitigate current and future shocks.
新冠疫情对全球旅游业和休闲活动产生了巨大影响，尤其是在酒店业。本文基于两个目标，具有概念性和实证性动机。首先，它确定了旅游业易受新冠疫情影响的几个主要因素（旅游依赖性、市场结构、乡村住宿供应以及疫情的健康影响）。其次，以西班牙及其50个省份为例，构建了一个针对新冠疫情的脆弱性指数。所获得的主要结果表明，巴利阿里群岛、加那利群岛、地中海沿岸省份以及首都马德里所在的省份，对新冠疫情的脆弱性较高，但背后的因素各不相同。就可用于减轻当前和未来冲击的短期和中期战略政策而言，我们的方法和结果对政策制定者具有参考价值。
