Tourism rebounds strongly in 2023, with international travel and spending surpassing 2019 levels.
After a significant hiatus, the tourism industry is witnessing a robust recovery. Predictions for this year indicate that international travel will not only resume but surpass the high-water mark set in 2019. The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) also forecasts that spending by tourists will exceed previous records, highlighting a promising rebound in global travel and economic activity.
The revival of the cruising sector marks a significant milestone in this resurgence. Ships are setting sail once more, with the industry regaining its pre-pandemic vibrancy. This revival comes as a breath of fresh air to an industry that was dramatically impacted by global travel restrictions, now bustling with tourists eager to explore the seas again.
In Western Europe, cities like Barcelona and Majorca are facing protests as locals push back against the influx of visitors, which they feel overwhelms their communities. Contrasting this, the real buzz in the tourism sector is shifting eastward, where travel agents and hoteliers report a surge in interest and bookings, signaling a shift in popular travel destinations.
