Tourism is 10% of the economy, most of it is domestic or internal to Europe; most of it doesn't involve air travel or city hopping.

Note that this 10% is heavily skewed toward the richest, biggest cities.

In bigger cities, it might be closer to 20-30% of their economy.

Take that away, and it would have a cascading effect through entire countries.

		Big cities are not big because of tourism. Unless you count the historical city center of Venice as a big city I doubt you'd get many big cities getting even close to those numbers I can't easily/quickly find some numbers but if we want to accept, with a grain of salt, Gemini research on this even in Venice (I think it counts Mestre as well) it's ~15% and that's the highest it found.

		Doesn't appear to be true, it's < 10% for the biggest cities (based on cursory research). Rome was 5% pre COVID; less now. https://assets-global.website-files.com/6329bc97af73223b5759...

10% of an economy is a lot, you don’t need to lose much of that to hit the entire sector very hard.
