In 2016, the Travel & Tourism industry had to face several challenges, especially the ones deriving from international terrorism and global safety and security. Notwithstanding, as reported by the UNWTO’s “World Tourism Barometer<\/a>“, last year global tourism flows grew by 3,9%<\/a>, reaching 1.235 million travellers.<\/p>\n

Europe registered satisfying results, according to the latest statistics released by European Cities Marketing<\/a> (ECM), which shows how tourism flows in European cities grew by 3,6% yoy.<\/strong> In particular, the number of domestic overnights\u00a0grew by 6% and international ones by 2,3%, recording 389.9 million overnights\u00a0spent in Europe in 2016.
\nThe most performing city was London (+7,3%), followed by Paris, even if the total number of overnights\u00a0in the city decreased by 9,5%, mainly due to the security rate perceived in the city. In particular, total number of international tourists’ overnights\u00a0in Paris fell by 12,5%. Further interesting results were registered in Berlin (+2,3%), Rome (+1,9%), Barcelona (+8,5%), Madrid (+6,4%) and Amsterdam (+6,6%).<\/p>\n

USA resulted to be the main origin market for tourism flows (+11%)<\/strong>, followed by Germany (+9%),\u00a0UK (+9%) and China, which continued its growth (+2,2%), still representing the fastest growing origin market in Europe. On the other hand, disappointing results were recorded in Italy (-4,3%), Japan (-11,8%) and Russia (-12,4%).<\/p>\n

At Twissen<\/b> we observed that 2016 has been a performing year for European tourism besides all the challenges, such as terrorism attacks particularly in Paris. Tourism flows are oriented towards new destinations; as we can see, Spanish cities registered interesting results. Although Europe recorded both positive and negative scenarios, tourism flows figures, especially domestic ones, are still encouraging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
