Los efectos de la COVID-19 en el sector turístico de las Comunidades Autónomas españolas. (Spanish)

The effects of COVID-19 on the tourism sector in Spain's autonomous communities. (English)

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 is a health crisis that has had a major impact on the tourism sector worldwide. In mid-March 2020, all tourism activity in Spain was paralysed, restricting the demand for tourism-related goods and services with measures such as border closures, restriction of non-essential mobility and home confinement. This article analyses the impact of the pandemic on the tourism sector in each of the Spanish autonomous communities, how this health crisis has affected the reception of travellers and, as a consequence, the number of overnight stays, as well as which types of accommodation (hotel, extra-hotel and rural) have seen the greatest reduction in tourism demand. The results obtained confirm the negative effects that tourism activity has suffered due to the pandemic and its incidence in each autonomous community, which has accentuated the existing imbalances in the tourism sector, causing a turning point before and after the health crisis.

La pandemia provocada por la COVID-19 es una crisis sanitaria que ha ocasionado un gran impacto en el sector turístico a nivel mundial. A mediados del mes de marzo de 2020, en España se paralizó toda la actividad turística, restringiendo la demanda de bienes y servicios relacionados con el turismo con medidas como el cierre de fronteras, la restricción de la movilidad no esencial y el confinamiento domiciliario. Este artículo analiza el impacto de la pandemia en el sector turístico de cada una de las Comunidades Autónomas españolas, cómo ha afectado esta crisis sanitaria en la recepción de viajeros y, como consecuencia, en el número de pernoctaciones de estos, además de poder conocer qué tipo de alojamiento (hoteleros, extrahoteleros y rurales) ha visto mermada más su demanda turística. Los resultados obtenidos confirman los efectos negativos que ha sufrido la actividad turística debido a la pandemia y la incidencia de esta en cada Comunidad Autónoma que ha acentuado los desequilibrios existentes en el sector turístico provocando un punto de inflexión antes y después de esta crisis sanitaria.
