Tourism has carried on showing its resilience. For 2022, revised data highlights more than 960 million tourists travelling in foreign countries in 2022, which means two-thirds of the numbers seen pre-pandemic times were recovered.

The Middle East observed the most powerful performance as the only region surpassing 2019 arrival levels and the first region to pull through numbers of the pre-pandemic in a full quarter.

Around 90% of pre-pandemic levels were achieved by Europe, motivated by strong intra-regional demand.
