International tourist arrival growth in European countries 2022
In 2022, the number of international tourist arrivals in Europe was still below the figures reported prior to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2019. That said, some countries showed strong signs of recovery in 2022, with the volume of inbound travelers almost catching up with pre-pandemic levels. For instance, the number of international tourist arrivals in Turkey recorded between January and November 2022 was just around two percent lower than in 2019. By contrast, Romania had the highest decrease in inbound tourist arrivals among the selected European destinations between January and November 2022 compared to 2019.
