聯合國世界旅遊組織12月17日發布的數據顯示，受新冠疫情影響，今年前10個月，全球國際旅遊人數同比下降72%。
According to the UNWTO, travel restrictions, low consumer confidence and the global fight to contain the spread of the COVID-19 mean 2020 has been the worst year on record for the number of international travelers.

The first 10 months saw global destinations receive 900 million fewer international tourists than in the same period in 2019. This represents a loss of 935 billion US dollars for the sector -- 10 times more than in the 2009 economic crisis.
今年前10個月，全球國際旅遊人數同比減少9億人次，造成旅遊業損失9350億美元，是2009年經濟危機造成損失的10倍多。
UNWTO Secretary General Zurab Pololikashvili said that although the news of a vaccine has increased tourist confidence, there is still a long road to recovery.
該機構秘書長祖拉布‧波洛利卡什維利表示，儘管疫苗的消息增加了遊客的信心，但旅遊業復甦仍有很長的路要走。
