Synopsis: Covid-19 caused more than $300 billion loss in international tourism industry. Since the start of 2020, almost all affected countries had implemented travel bans, which led to a steep decline of international tourism industry. Air passenger traffic has decreased by 60%. 43 commercial airliners broke in 2020, including Virgin Australia, Nok Scoot and Avianca. Although other industries started to recover from the epidemic, the airline industry is still struggling due to its high risk. Cruise Lines also faced huge crisis due to the “Diamond Princess” event. After a 6-month lockout, several cruise lines started to resume their routes with new businesses such as “ghost trip”. Amusement parks reopened in the second half of 2020, and most of them have new plans in 2021. For example, Universal Studios Japan will open the “Super Nintendo World” area in February, while Legoland will start to build a new park in Shanghai in 2021.

On the other hand, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) suggested a “digital health pass”, which has been tested by Singapore Airlines since December 23. In addition, some airlines in Europe and USA had been tested “infection free” flights for months. Currently, these “air passageways” are only used in essential travels.
