Different crises can affect tourism movements in different ways. Terrorist attacks, natural disasters, political instability and wars, as well as epidemics and diseases, are crises that to a greater or lesser extent affect tourist travel, locally, regionally or globally. Since today's world is characterized by globalization and the availability of information, contemporary crises know no national borders and affect the tourism industry worldwide. Faced with the global pandemic of COVID-19, which occurred in 2020, tourism almost completely "stopped". Numerous tourism companies around the world recorded large losses in business and various strategies were implemented to mitigate the crises. It was the biggest crisis affecting tourism trends since tourism statistics have been monitored. However, a slight recovery began already in 2021, and tourism once again showed the possibility of a quick recovery, which showed that travel is highly ranked among the needs of modern man. For the purposes of this work, primary research was conducted with stakeholders from travel agencies, which indicated the great impact of the crisis on their business, but also the need for better preparation for potential new crises.
