The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit the tourism sector hard 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 inbound tourists in Europe decreased sharply that year. In Southern/Mediterranean Europe, the volume of inbound visitors fell by 71.5 percent in 2020 over the previous year, while it dropped by roughly 70 percent in Northern Europe. As forecast, the number of inbound travelers was expected to bounce back across all regions in 2022, especially in Northern Europe.
