Sažetak
The novel Covid-19 outbreak has adversely affected every sector
of the economy, including the tourism and hospitality sectors.
Holding the importance as one of the leading contributors to
economic growth, and accommodating a large percentage of the
labor force, this study has investigated the impact of Covid-19 on
the tourism economy of Beijing (the capital of China), which is
one of the leading tourist destinations of China. For this purpose,
primary data with 385 sample sizes have been collected via random sampling techniques from the tourism-related respondents.
This data has been analyzed using the simple descriptive analysis,
graphical estimations, and categorization techniques. The findings
of the study show that Covid-19 exerts a negative influence on
the tourism and hospitality sector. Specifically, a reduction in the
international tourists’ arrival has reduced revenue generation,
indirectly reducing the contribution to the GDP by many factors.
These factors include an increase in the unemployment ratio, cutoff salaries, increases in expenditures, and a decline in the tax
payments. However, lack of adequate response from the government in the context of the tourism sector has further fueled the
adverse outcomes of Covid-19, leading the industry to a shutdown condition for most firms in this geographical area.
