Europe Tourism Market Overview:

Europe is one of the most visited tourist attractions as the region is covered by many famous and unforgettable historic sites, and also has beautiful ancient buildings and construction works. Europe's beaches are clean, and sunshine makes the scenery stunning.

Tourism plays a major role in the growth of European regions, contributing to the creation of jobs and resources, sustainable development, enhanced cultural heritage, and the shaping of the European identity. Infrastructure created for tourism purposes contributes more broadly to local economic growth while creating (or maintaining) employment and help counteract the decline in the industrial sector.

In Europe, Southern and Mediterranean Europe is the most visited group of countries with about 193 million arrivals, followed by Western Europe (171 million), Northern Europe (66 million), and Central and Eastern Europe (70 million).

Tourism can be particularly important in remote, peripheral regions, where tourism-related services are often a significant source of income for the local population. This is particularly true in many of Europe's island states and areas, as well as in coastal and alpine regions. The primary beneficiaries of the growing demand for services relating to tourism in remote areas tend to be small and medium enterprises.
