Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic had a particularly strong global impact on tourist traffic, and implicitly on the tourism industry, in the March-May 2020 period, reducing them practically to zero. After the relaxation of restrictions, tourist traffic begins to recover, registering particularities from one region to another. In the South-West Oltenia development region, the post-pandemic period is characterized by the relaunch of domestic tourism, followed after some lag by the gradual increase in the flow of foreign citizens, with disparities and similarities at the county and local level, the return of rural tourism being significant in some communities, by exceeding the level recorded before the outbreak of the pandemic.
