This note aims at analysing the role of international tourism attractiveness as a potential factor for the outbreak and the spread of the recent COVID-19 disease across the world with a special focus on small island economies Econometric testing over a cross-section sample including 205 countries/territories, states that a positive and significant relationship exists between COVID-19 prevalence and inbound tourism arrivals Thus international tourism must be seen as one of the main responsible factors for the recent pandemic in the first stage of the spread Accordingly, this finding suggests that the tourism specialization model in the context of small islands is too vulnerable to be considered as sustainable in the medium and long-run
