Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic is undoubtedly a global crisis, which has had a negative impact on all economic activities. Tourism, as an extremely sensitive branch, is unquestionably the most affected sector. The Republic of Croatia, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, has continuously had an increase in tourist traffic in the number of tourist arrivals and overnight stays until the moment of the pandemic crisis. The aim of this paper is to consider the consequences on tourist flows on the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina – Tuzla County and the Republic of Croatia – SisakMoslavina County. The results of the research, conducted through a questionnaire, will detect the problems in the pandemic crisis faced by economic operators in tourism, and we will try to find answers on how to overcome this health crisis with the least possible consequences for tourism, improve the efficiency of tourist boards, as initial affirmers and promoters of tourism.
