联合国贸发会议周三发布的一份研究报告显示,疫情导致的旅游业衰退将在2020年和2021年使全球经济损失超过4万亿美元,由于疫苗推广的不均衡,严重依赖国际游客的发展中国家将受到冲击。
报告称,即使美国、英国和法国等疫苗接种率较高的国家的国际旅游业下半年出现反弹,但今年一年的损失仍可能达到1.7万亿至2.4万亿美元。
这项研究突显了世界各地在获得疫苗方面的不平等将产生代价高昂的影响。根据联合国贸发会议的数据,发展中国家可能占全球GDP损失的60%之多。
报告还显示,全球旅游业危机还远未结束,很多疫苗接种率低的地区仍然在实行旅行限制和禁令。这项研究是联合国贸发会议与世界旅游组织合作完成的,该研究称,在2023年之前,国际旅游可能不会恢复到疫情之前的水平。

The tourism recession caused by the epidemic will cost the global economy more than $4 trillion in 2020 and 2021, due to uneven vaccine promotion, according to a study released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development on Wednesday. Developing countries that rely heavily on international tourists will be hit.
Even if the international tourism industry in countries with high vaccination rates, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and France, rebounds in the second half of the year, losses this year could still reach $1.7 trillion to $2.4 trillion, the report said.
The study highlights the costly impact of inequalities in access to vaccines around the world. According to UNCTAD, developing countries may account for as much as 60 per cent of global GDP losses.
The report also shows that the global tourism crisis is far from over, and travel restrictions and bans are still in place in many areas with low vaccination rates. The study, carried out by UNCTAD in cooperation with the World Tourism Organization, says international tourism may not return to pre-epidemic levels until 2023.
