Abstract

The paper presents the evaluation of the impact of the COVID-19 health crisis on tourism in Romania with a focus on the market effects and the impact on tourism operators. The onset of the COVID-19 health crisis in March 2020 led to restrictions on the movement of people, which led to behavioral changes in accommodation as well as in the behavior of tourists (tourism consumers). The objective of this paper is to analyse the changes in the hospitality industry sector, highlighting the changes in the behavior of turism consumers.
