The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit the tourism industry hard in Italy in 2020 and 2021. In April 2020, international tourist arrivals declined by 91 percent over the same month of 2019. While this scenario improved during the summer, inbound tourist arrivals decreased again since September, standing at 713 thousand in December 2020. In 2021, international arrivals recorded a similar trend, rising significantly over the summer months and reaching nearly five million in August 2021. While this figure overcame the one reported in the previous year, it was still far below pre-pandemic levels.
