To give you an idea of how hard hit the economies of Southern European nations were hit by the coronavirus crisis: the total expenditure by tourists resident abroad whose main destination is Catalonia was 432 million euros in August 2020, a figure that means a decrease of 84.4% compared with the same period last year. But this is planned economic architecture of the EU. Southern Europe tourism and agriculture, Northern Europe industry and services. On the other hand, Catalonia could learn from this and create a sustainable and resilient economy. See Roser Espelt Alba, Facund Fora – The Pandemic has shown that Catalonia cannot live from Tourism
