The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted the tourism sector in 2020, with countries worldwide implementing lockdowns and travel bans to face the health crisis. As a result of the travel restrictions, the number of outbound tourists from Europe decreased sharply that year. In Northern Europe, the volume of outbound visitors fell by 72.4 percent in 2020 over the previous year, while it dropped by roughly 62 percent in Western Europe. As forecast, the number of outbound travelers was expected to bounce back across all regions in 2022, especially in Northern Europe.
