• Summer travel is popular with both domestic European tourists and international travelers.
• Residents of the EU made over 270 million trips within the EU in July and August of 2018.
• In 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted travel, Europe saw over 740 million inbound visitors.
There are no exact figures for this summer, though industry experts predict a strong summer for European tourism in 2024, potentially reaching record numbers due to pent-up demand and events, i.e. Olympic Games in France and the UEFA European Football Championship in Germany.
