Attracting tourists from Europe

The coronavirus pandemic has affected the tourism industry. Before 2020, Europe was a great market for attracting tourists. European tourists were also interested in holiday destinations in developing countries.

We expect rural destinations to recover faster from the pandemic than urban destinations. Tourists want to travel to outdoor places with fewer people. We also expect that domestic and regional travel will become more popular.

When outbound tourism increases again, we do not expect interests to have changed much. We expect destinations that are closer to Europe to recover faster.

Read our market information and tips carefully. They can help you attract tourists from Europe.
