Abstract

Of the many industries, the travel industry has been hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. Entities supplying the tourist market remained closed for almost a year, not conducting their activities. In such a situation, the mechanisms of state intervention come in handy and the set of their tools includes anti-crisis shields as well as a tourist voucher.

The aim of the article is to present the scale of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism activity in Poland and the scale of state intervention in this industry. The article is of theoretical and analytical character. Research methods typical of this type of studies were used: critical analysis of the literature on the subject, analysis of documents, analysis of published secondary data.
