Abstract

Romanian tourism has been crushed by the pandemic crisis, the number of tourists has drastically decreased in 2020 compared to 2019, and the new restrictions imposed have limited the type of tourists, so the country has been limited to domestic tourists (96.7% of total arrivals), international tourists having a modest percentage (3.3% of total arrivals). During the whole period of the March 2020 and May 2020 quarantines, national tourism was put on hold, for almost a year it oscillated between opening and closing restaurants, outdoor restaurants and cafes, event halls, etc., or operating at 30% capacity.
