Abstract— Tourism economic impact studies in are important in that this type of research communicates and quantifies the positive or negative impacts of activities or events on the local community and state. Some of these effects include an increase or decrease in employment, wages, local tax revenue, and revenue for different local industries. Economic impact studies have measured the impacts events or outdoor leisure activities, but no prior research has measured the negative economic impact a pandemic on a local community. To fill this research gap, the authors conducted an economic impact study of COVID-19 on Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA. Furthermore, this study reinforces proper economic impact methods, and utilizes the input/output model most often used quantify impacts in the USA.
