Crisis Management During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Field of Tourism in Slovakia

Our analysis will focus on solving the crisis situation during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in the area of tourism. We focus on the budget tool used by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Slovak Republic, used to prevent the downfall of tourism in Slovakia. We consider tourism as the most affected segment by the COVID-19 pandemic on a global scale. Based on the unpredictability of the situation, it was not possible to determine how much the country's economy will be affected and how long it will be necessary to maintain the economic and political tools in order to save the country's economy. Today we know that the tool, Scheme to support uncovered fixed costs of companies affected by the coronavirus outbreak, is necessary to maintain, because some businesses operating in tourism, in Slovakia, have not yet been compensated to this day.
