The travel and tourism industry has suffered the most at the hands of the global pandemic. The global GDP has seen an all-time downfall, as the industry of travel and tourism was the most major contributor. It is due to the rapidly spreading nature of the coronavirus that flights, trains and other modes of travelling were suspended.
But which countries have suffered the most due to the halt of tourism? Italy and Spain are on the top because of the number of cases and how deadly the pandemic has caused damage there.

There are more countries in the list though.
