The number of overnight stays in tourist facilities such as hotels and hostels in European Union (EU) countries in 2022 has reached the level before the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
SIA reports that this was shown in the tourist accommodation data published by the European Statistical Office (Eurostat).
According to the report, the EU tourism sector, which was severely affected by the epidemic, has improved significantly last year.
More specifically, in 2022 the total number of overnight stays in tourist accommodation was estimated at 2.72 billion, compared to 2.88 billion in 2019 – a decrease of only 5.6 percent.
According to the data, this represents substantial increases compared with the number of nights spent in 2020 and 2021: 1.42 billion in 2020, 1.83 billion in 2021 (a rise of 91.1 percent and 48.3 percent in 2022, respectively).
The EU’s statistical office points out that in the course of 2022, monthly tourism figures increased continuously and finally approached the levels of the corresponding months in 2019.
“Compared with the pre-summer first half year of 2019 (January–June), in the same period of 2022, nights spent in tourist accommodation were down by 11 percent. Meanwhile, the period July-December closely mirrored 2019 levels of nights spent (-1.9 percent).”
The data comes from early estimates on tourism published by Eurostat and which are based on monthly January-October or November data, depending on each respective country.
