Tripadvisor identifies the most visited tourist destinations in 2022.

 

Reactivation of tourism after the covid-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the world's tourism industry, causing a 60-80% decrease in global travel in 2020. As conditions improve, countries are looking to restart the tourism sector as a way to boost their economies. Reactivating tourism will be challenging and require effective safety protocols, such as health passports and testing requirements, as well as a focus on sustainability. Domestic travel and outdoor activities are expected to increase in popularity, and travelers must be willing to follow safety guidelines to ensure a successful tourism restart. With safety measures and a focus on sustainability, the tourism industry is poised to recover from the pandemic.
