Abstract

This article presents a qualitative comparative assessment of the Australian and New Zealand tourism industry performance following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis focuses on a qualitative assessment of achievements in several key tourism aggregates from 2020 to 2021 and compares it with industry achievements in 2019. The assessment reveals that following the COVID-19 pandemic, by 2020, the shares of tourism output and export earnings plunged to 6.0% and 1.6%, respectively, in Australia. In New Zealand, tourism output and earnings contracted to 8.8% and 9.4%, respectively. The overall economic contractions in both countries were more severe in 2020–2021 than in 2019. It is anticipated that the contribution of tourism to national output, employment, export earnings and hotel occupancy rates will continue to remain subdued in 2022, with the likelihood of some degree of recovery in late 2022, assuming rapid progress in vaccinations against the COVID-19 disease. This study makes a new contribution to the tourism literature as the assessment presented here provides a comparative distinctive analysis of the effects of the pandemic in the local economy context of two neighbouring similar economies of Australia and New Zealand. Research has been deficient in providing this type of analysis despite the numerous studies addressing the effects of the pandemic across the tourism industry globally.

COVID-19大流行期间澳大利亚和新西兰旅游业成果的比较评估

本文对2019冠状病毒病大流行后澳大利亚和新西兰旅游业的表现进行了定性比较评估。该分析侧重于对2020年至2021年几个主要旅游聚集地的成就进行定性评估，并将其与2019年的行业成就进行比较。评估显示，在2019冠状病毒病大流行之后，到2020年，澳大利亚旅游产出和出口收入的份额分别暴跌至6.0%和1.6%。在新西兰，旅游业产出和收入分别收缩至8.8%和9.4%。两国在2020-2021年的整体经济收缩比2019年更为严重。预计2022年，旅游业对国民产出、就业、出口收入和酒店入住率的贡献将继续保持低迷，假设针对COVID-19疾病的疫苗接种取得迅速进展，2022年底有可能出现一定程度的复苏。这项研究对旅游文献作出了新的贡献，因为这里提出的评估对澳大利亚和新西兰两个邻近的类似经济体在当地经济背景下的流行病影响进行了比较独特的分析。尽管有许多研究针对疫情对全球旅游业的影响，但在提供这类分析方面的研究仍然不足。
