Abstract

This dissertation explores the important impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on China's tertiary industry and analyzes how these impacts may change their future trajectory. Through positive and negative case studies, we found that the COVID-19 epidemic has had a significant impact on the tertiary industry in China, especially in catering, tourism, film and entertainment fields. In addition, the pandemic has also driven the rapid development of industries such as online education, telecommuting and online health care. However, as the outbreak gradually comes under control, the industry's recovery will face challenges. The future development trajectory of different industries in the tertiary industry will also show different development trends. Therefore, this paper makes some suggestions to help the industry cope with similar situations in the future.
