Europe imports 10.5 thousand tonnes of dried thyme each year. Imports from developing countries – now almost 40% of the total supply – bridge shortages left by Polish, Spanish and French crops. Egypt alone delivers half of that non-European volume. With a low economic growth forecast for 2027, consumption is set to rise slowly across food retail, service and processing sectors. Meeting strict EU contaminant limits unlocks interesting market segments beyond bulk and uncrushed thyme.

Religious tourism is a large tourism niche with a wide range of specific characteristics. European nations are keen religious tourists, both believers and non-believers.

Local tour operators must understand their religious product and why visitors come.
Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, are frequent travellers. Many are retired and have the time and money to travel.

There are good opportunities for local tour operators to attract this market with products carefully packaged to include active, immersive and meaningful experiences. However, it is important to remember that this is an ageing demographic, and products should meet a variety of needs.
