Holiday abroad (Eurostat 2019)

  1. Pretty sure Italy will get a huge blow to tourism if the right-wingers get elected, I mean who wants to visit a country where fascism racism and homophobia runs amok?

  2. Spain for me is a no-brainer. People still speak English, food is great, weather is great, many affordable flights.

  3. These stats look strange, I really can’t believe so few people spent at least one night abroad in almost all countries.

    For instance according to the local Lithuanian statistics agency around 900k people travelled abroad (for tourism purposes) in 2019 [1]. However according to [2] it was 120 000 which seems extremely low, I’d even be surprised if it could have been that low during covid. Even if only count people whose trips were organized by travel agencies (and I’m pretty sure those stats are correct because all travel agencies have to report them) there 466k in 2018 [3].

    I assume some might take multiple trips and that might not be reflected correctly, but still…

  4. Hmm, the statistics for Estonia seem weird, would’ve expected it to be Latvia or Finland because of the shuttle from Tallinn. Maybe residents of Narva who go to Ivangorod for food and petrol count as “turists’?
