World tourism is recovering

According to the WTO’s latest barometer, tourism continues to recover and by the end of the year, 65% of the pre-pandemic level of travel seems to be achievable. Between January and September, more than 700 million tourists traveled across national borders, which is more than double (133%) of the same period in 2021 and 63% of 2019. These data carry the promise that 65% will be reached by the end of the year. In January, the number of arrivals was still 64% lower than in 2019, and this decreased to 27% by September.
