. The tourism industry has proven to be the most sensitive to the pandemic. The spread of the coronavirus during 2020 shows certain geographic features. The initial development of the epidemic is geographically associated with destinations, major cities, coastal areas, winter recreation centers, tourist events. The spatial course of the pandemic shows a dependence on climatic zonation and pronounced seasons of the year, corresponds to the hierarchy of settlement systems, since this global problem is most manifested in central places. In Russia, the global geographic patterns of the spread of coronavirus are manifested. The pandemic will lead to changes in the structural and spatial organization of tourism, will serve to the accentuated development of domestic tourism in Russia, an increase in interest in interregional and intraregional travel, and the development of municipal tourism. The real possibility of the risks of large epidemics will lead the tourist infrastructure to the idea of an areal, not a pole, development. Nature-oriented types of tourism (ecological, sports, fishing, rural) and recreation outside large cities are becoming promising.
