European Tourism 2022: Trends and Prospects (Q4/2021)
Tourism Consulting Team
Tourism Economics
The emergence of the Omicron variant at the year-end, and record-breaking infection rates, brought back mobility restrictions which paused recovery.
2021 data informs estimates of a 62% decrease in tourist arrivals to Europe over 2019 levels, although final data are not yet available. Economic recovery is expected to continue in 2022, but Omicron means growth will be slightly more subdued, at least for the first quarter.
The travel outlook for Europe remains positive, with demand projected to be just 20% below pre-pandemic levels in 2022, fuelled by domestic and intra-European travel demand. Domestic travel is expected to exceed pre-pandemic peaks this year, while rapid intra-regional demand will drive improvement in international.
