Tourism is one of the world's largest industries, and its growth has been steady in recent years. According to data from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), in 2019, an estimated 1.465 billion international trips were made, marking a milestone in the industry's history. However, the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 represented an unprecedented setback for the sector.

María Bertorch , an expert in the food service industry at NPD Group, an American market research company, exposes the Anglo-Saxon countries as the protagonists of this change. " In France, only 6% of" orders were placed on delivery "in 2020, compared to 3% in 2019. In Great Britain, this proportion was 17% last year, compared to 9% in 2019" .  Similarly, in a survey carried out by Deliveroo, a Delivery app in Spain, I read about how 40% of the businesses associated with the platform assured that they would have been forced to close in the next six months if it were not for the implementation of delivery to their business model, that is, today they had their doors closed.   Now, you have to take into
