The aim of this research is to evaluate the comparative impact of COVID-19 on tourism in Rajasthan and the Indian economy as well. The research paper presents a comparative assessment of the tourist influx in Rajasthan from 2016 to 2020, differentiating between international tourists and domestic tourists. It assesses the repercussions of the pandemic on the tourism sector. Arrivals of foreign as well as domestic tourists fell by -71.09% in 2020 compared to 2019, which had a major impact on the hospitality industry, which is tackling sluggish demand. The industry of tourism is one of the primary wellsprings of income in Rajasthan, where it possesses a vital spot in its economy. Few industries or people have escaped the disruption resulting from the unfolding public health emergency. However, the tourism industry suffered the most, mainly because, despite the lifting of the lockdown caused by COVID-19, connectivity has not yet been fully restored. Tourism remains limited to emergency business, leading to a sharp drop in tourist arrivals across the country.
