Total restoration of German tourists this year
Particularly encouraging are the figures for the global tourism market, with estimates of a turnover of $ 637 billion, up 50% from last year, while flights with tourists from Germany will exceed this summer before from the crisis.
According to research by ITB Berlin and Statista, changes in travelers’ behavior due to the pandemic do not affect their choice and destination choices, while the war in Ukraine does not seriously affect the industry.
According to research data, the global industry will grow by 48%, reaching 637 billion. dollars in 2022, while in 2023 it will exceed pre-pandemic levels by about 5%, reaching almost 756 billion. dollars. This year the cruise will record the highest growth rate, by 180% compared to 2021, followed by the hotel industry with 57%. The research predicts that the purchase of private accommodation and apartments for tourist use will exceed $ 81 billion in total turnover, just 2% less than the market volume in 2019.
The serious ones from the war in Ukraine are possible
The research forecast does not take into account the impact of the war in Ukraine and now raises the question of whether it will affect the global industry and the tourism industry in the long run – and if so, in what ways. According to data from the World Tourism Organization, in 2019 Russia and Ukraine accounted for 3% of global tourism spending on international travel.
Although the war does not spread to other regions, it does not seriously affect the global industry. However, it is possible that the crisis will have larger markets, such as Cyprus and Turkey.
Vacation back: Records are expected for airlines this summer
Despite the crisis, especially the pandemic, the Germans seem to have regained their mood for travel and vacation. According to a Statista survey, more than 62% of Germans plan at least one trip in the next 12 months. According to the German Aviation Association, the number of seats now available in the tourism market has increased by 3% compared to the summer of 2019.
In an interview with Deutsche Presseagentur, Jens Bischof, head of Eurowings, said that from March, his airline would fly to more destinations than ever before. According to Eurowings, the focus of travelers is the Mediterranean. Among the most popular destinations are Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy. European destinations are generally high on the list of German holidaymakers.
The changes brought by Covid
The pandemic has radically changed the pandemic behavior of 90% of travelers to Germany, the UK and the US. However, according to the research, some things will remain as they are. As Eurowings flight schedules in Germany and GCS findings show, the reasons for choosing a destination have not changed. In 2022 as well as in 2019, the five most important destination criteria mentioned by the Germans are weather, nature, personal safety, local attractions and price.
In terms of prices, 36% of respondents in Germany want to spend more holidays than before the pandemic, 31% the same amount and 31% aim to spend less. Specifically, 50% of travelers plan to spend more than 2,000 euros for themselves or their family, while 17% plan to spend more than 3,000 euros.
