The European Travel Commission (ETC) has released a new study that says European destinations are “on their way to recovering pre-pandemic tourist arrivals.”
The report compared year-to-date data compared to 2019 and showed that about one in two reporting destinations have recovered more than 80% of their pre-pandemic foreign arrivals.
Southern Mediterranean destinations posted the fastest recovery as the year ended. Slower destinations to recover were in Eastern Europe due to the war in Ukraine and the loss of Russian visitors to their destination.
