MADRID (Reuters) – International tourist arrivals plunged 65% in the first half of 2020 compared to last year, data from the Madrid-based World Tourism Organization showed, with just over half of destinations easing travel restrictions from early September.
A total of 440 million international arrivals were lost between January and June this year, translating into a $460 billion dollar loss in export revenues, the UNWTO said.
