In 2020, due to the travel restrictions and the level of uncertainty related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many tourists preferred to travel in their own country rather than traveling abroad. In Europe, domestic tourists contributed to the highest share of total travel and tourism spending in 2020. That year, expenditure by domestic tourists accounted for 73 percent of total spending, while it made up 66 percent of total tourism expenditure in 2019.
