Tourism is Rebounding

Two years after the COVID-19 pandemic essentially shut down international travel worldwide, the tourism industry is bouncing back as summer arrives in the northern hemisphere.

International tourism saw a close to 200% year-over-year increase in the first quarter of 2022, and although several related statistics are still well below 2019 levels, gradual recovery is expected to continue throughout the year, according to June analysis from the United Nations World Tourism Organization . Nearly 50% of experts surveyed by the organization said they expect international tourism to return to those pre-pandemic levels from three years ago in 2023, while 44% said it could be 2024 or later.

This is especially good news for countries whose economies are the most reliant on the tourism industry. Those countries include Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba and St. Lucia, according to 2021 gross domestic product data released in June by The World Travel & Tourism Council.

[ RELATED: These Countries Are the Best for Tourism ]

But the countries most supported economically by tourism aren't necessarily the ones that welcome the most visitors. The United Nations compiles several metrics related to inbound tourism by country , including international tourist arrivals, with the most recent data being from 2021. The statistics show that industry recovery still has a ways to go: The most-visited country in 2021 had about 32 million international arrivals. France, the top-ranked country in 2019 – before the pandemic hit – had 90 million.

Here are the countries that welcomed the most international tourist arrivals in 2021, according to the U.N. Included for each are other pieces of tourism-related data, such as GDP contribution percentages from the WTTC.

Most Visited Countries 2024

European countries, often rich in history, culture, beautiful beaches, and ocean views, attract the highest number of tourists.

France, leading in tourism for over 30 years, offers attractions like the Eiffel Tower and Disneyland Paris, drawing 38 million tourists to Paris alone in 2019.

Global travel and tourism, an $8.9 trillion industry in 2019, suffered a loss of $4.5 trillion and 62 million jobs in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Global travel and tourism was an $8.9 trillion (US$) business in 2019 . Moreover, though the COVID-19 pandemic has reduced that number to roughly a quarter of its previous value, all signs point to tourism continuing to grow, expand, and evolve. Every country on Earth has something to offer international visitors, from the pyramids in Egypt to the rainforests of Brazil or the sidewalk cafes of Paris —but which countries attract the most visitors of all? Most of the countries with the highest tourism rates are located in Europe , whose rich history, architecture, and cultural influence make it an appealing destination for many travelers. Countries positioned on or near a body of water are also very popular, particularly those that offer a relaxed, low-key atmosphere mixed with beautiful beaches and ocean views.

Top 10 Countries Most Popular with Tourists (by number of 2019 visitor arrivals)

The most popular tourist destination in the world for more than 30 years, France offers a myriad of attractions: the Eiffel tower, countless world-class restaurants, the Musée du Louvre, the Palace of Versailles, the Notre-Dame cathedral, the beaches of the Côte d'Azur, and of course, Disneyland Paris. Moreover, the lushly beautiful countryside is full of storybook villages, mountains, vineyards, and the occasional castle. One can even view prehistoric cave paintings in Lascaux. Paris, France's capital, is the most visited city in Europe, receiving 38 million tourists in 2019.

Spain is another tourist destination overflowing with interesting attractions. Antoni Gaudi's Sagrada Familia cathedral and other works in Barcelona , the Guggenheim museum, the Alhambra and Generalife Gardens, Europe's largest aquarium (the lily-shaped L'Oceanogràfic), the beaches of Gran Canaria, and La Rambla in Barcelona. Spain is also home to El Teide, an ancient—but not entirely dormant—volcano, which visitors can hike around at the Parque Nacional del Teide on the Spanish island Tenerife.

England's capital city, London , attracts visitors with a wide range of sights including Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, and the British Museum, which includes the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts outside of Cairo . Beyond London, England offers the mysterious Stonehenge, the Beatles' birthplace in Liverpool , the quaint beauty of the Cotswolds, the sci-fi botanical gardens of the Eden Project, and more. Speaking of more, the UK also includes three additional subdivisions. First is Scotland, with the charming city of Edinburgh , moody Loch Ness and Inverness , the scenic highlands, and the historic St. Andrews golf course. Next comes charming Wales and its castles, scenery, and capital city of Cardiff . Finally, Northern Ireland boasts attractions including Belfast 's bubbling nightlife, the glens and coastline of Antrim, and one of Europe's most compelling natural wonders: the Giant's Causeway.

The Mediterranean nation Turkey balances captivating man-made attractions such as Hagia Sophia mosque and Topkapı Palace with archaeological wonders such as the Biblical city of Ephesus, the fairy city of Cappadocia, and the desolate fallen splendor of Mount Nemrut. It also has more than its share of natural wonders, including the famous beaches at Ölüdeniz and Patara, the mineral pools at Pamukkale, and the Mediterranean coastline itself.

The South Asian country of Thailand is also known as the "Land of Smiles", and offers both modern comforts and wild adventure. Thailand's capital, Bangkok , receives over 20 million visitors every year. Popular attractions include the Grand Palace in Bangkok; beaches including Railay, Long, and Monkey beach; the ancient city Ayutthaya and ornate Buddhist wat Coi Suthep, and national parks including Khao Yai (where wild elephants roam) and the otherworldly Khao Sok.

The impact of COVID-19 on travel and tourism

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-21 had a devastating effect on the travel and tourism industry. According to a report released by the World Travel & Tourism Council , the pandemic cost the industry an estimated US$ 4.5 trillion in 2020, which resulted in the loss of 62 million tourism-dependent jobs. Data from the United Nations World Tourism Organization backs this up. Consider the following table:

International tourist arrivals (in thousands of visitors):

Compared to 2019, tourism dropped by approximately 74% in 2020, with a total of a billion fewer travelers over the course of the year--making 2020 the worst year on record for tourism. The UNTWO's own estimates registered a loss of US$ 1.3 trillion in lost revenues and 100-120 million jobs either lost or at risk.

The impact has been particularly damaging in countries that rely heavily upon tourism as part of their GDP. Lost tourism in Macau, one of China 's special administrative regions, led to a 79.3% drop in year-on-year gambling revenues , which caused overall GDP for 2020 to fall 43.1% compared to the previous year.

While tourism has picked up slightly in 2021, they still fall far short of the pre-pandemic numbers. Late 2020 projections were hopeful that the industry would be back on track by late 2021, but the ongoing nature of the pandemic has thwarted that optimism. As of late 2021, most estimates do not expect the industry to rebound to 2019 (pre-COVID) levels until sometime in 2023 at the earliest.

International tourism, number of arrivals - Country Ranking

Definition: International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival.

Development Relevance: Tourism is officially recognized as a directly measurable activity, enabling more accurate analysis and more effective policy. Whereas previously the sector relied mostly on approximations from related areas of measurement (e.g. Balance of Payments statistics), tourism today possesses a range of instruments to track its productive activities and the activities of the consumers that drive them: visitors (both tourists and excursionists). An increasing number of countries have opened up and invested in tourism development, making tourism a key driver of socio-economic progress through export revenues, the creation of jobs and enterprises, and infrastructure development. As an internationally traded service, inbound tourism has become one of the world's major trade categories. For many developing countries it is one of the main sources of foreign exchange income and a major component of exports, creating much needed employment and development opportunities.

Limitations and Exceptions: Tourism can be either domestic or international. The data refers to international tourism, where the traveler's country of residence differs from the visiting country. International tourism consists of inbound (arrival) and outbound (departures) tourism. The data are from the World Tourism Organization (WTO), a United Nations agency. The data on inbound and outbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals and departures, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival. The data on inbound tourism show the arrivals of nonresident tourists (overnight visitors) at national borders. When data on international tourists are unavailable or incomplete, the data show the arrivals of international visitors, which include tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries.

Statistical Concept and Methodology: Statistical information on tourism is based mainly on data on arrivals and overnight stays along with balance of payments information. These data do not completely capture the economic phenomenon of tourism or provide the information needed for effective public policies and efficient business operations. Data are needed on the scale and significance of tourism. Information on the role of tourism in national economies is particularly deficient. Although the World Tourism Organization reports progress in harmonizing definitions and measurement, differences in national practices still prevent full comparability. Arrivals data measure the flows of international visitors to the country of reference: each arrival corresponds to one in inbound tourism trip. If a person visits several countries during the course of a single trip, his/her arrival in each country is recorded separately. In an accounting period, arrivals are not necessarily equal to the number of persons travelling (when a person visits the same country several times a year, each trip by the same person is counted as a separate arrival). Arrivals data should correspond to inbound visitors by including both tourists and same-day non-resident visitors. All other types of travelers (such as border, seasonal and other short-term workers, long-term students and others) should be excluded as they do not qualify as visitors. Data are obtained from different sources: administrative records (immigration, traffic counts, and other possible types of controls), border surveys or a mix of them. If data are obtained from accommodation surveys, the number of guests is used as estimate of arrival figures; consequently, in this case, breakdowns by regions, main purpose of the trip, modes of transport used or forms of organization of the trip are based on complementary visitor surveys.

Why France is the World’s Top Tourist Destination

It should come as no surprise to know that France is the  world’s most popular tourist destination . With near 90 million visitors every normal non-covid year, France is a head and shoulders above Spain, which comes in second, receiving 82 million visitors per year. The number 3 spot goes to the USA with 78 million. These statistics confirm that France is once again the world's first choice holiday destination, despite a rather turbulent few years.

So, what is it exactly that attracts people from all over the world to France? We'll try to boil France down to its essence and show you why it is the most popular tourist destination in the world. After all, 89 million people can’t be wrong, can they?

Paris.. Ah... Paris

Need we say more? Going on a self guided tour of Paris  is a wonderful experience, as it's undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and beautiful cities on earth. With glamorous buildings, chic cafés and more galleries than you could ever visit, Paris will captivate your heart and soul. Make sure you divide your time between being the ultimate tourist and climbing to the top of the  Eiffel Tower  and acting like a local (here are some  alternative things to do in Paris ). Head out to one of the city’s many bars and grab yourself a Pastis to sip with the Parisians for an authentic taste of life in the capital.

Our top tips for visiting Paris? For the best view in Paris, climb to the top of the Montparnasse Tower. The lines are far shorter than at the Eiffel Tower and the views actually include the Iron Lady herself! If you’re visiting the Palace of Versailles, book a guided tour of the King’s Apartment at 10 a.m. via the website. The King’s Apartment is separate from the rest of the palace and you can only see it with this tour. This add-on is only a bit more expensive than the general entrance ticket, and you’ll be able to go straight to the main palace after, avoiding the long lines outside.

The Landscapes are Stunning

When it comes to natural beauty, France can rival just about any other country on the planet. France’s scenery is as diverse as it is beautiful, with the glittering coastlines of the French Riviera, the patchwork fields of the Loire Valley, the snow-capped Alps and centuries old harbor towns of Normandy. This, of course, is hugely appealing for lovers of the great outdoors. Rather than choosing between mountains and beaches, France offers both and a whole lot more. This gives you more bang for your buck and makes your vacation even more enjoyable. Make sure you take your camera – these landscapes are enough to turn every one of your Facebook friends green with envy.

There is History everywhere

France is steeped with history. Having seen numerous empires and republics rise and fall, along with some bloody revolutions, France’s history is etched into every street corner. Visit the Loire Valley to see and explore a multitude of castles sitting majestically behind perfectly manicured gardens . Head down to  the Dordogne  region to see the incredible replica of the pre-historic cave paintings of Lascaux or book in advance to see the real thing in the caves of Font-de-Gaume. Or spend a day or town in some of France’s wonderful old towns and villages, such as Provins, to the south-east of Paris, or Bayeux in Normandy. Read about  some of our favorite beautiful villages in France .

Architecture from across the ages

Everywhere you look you'll see definitive examples of France’s sublime architecture. This takes the form of cathedrals (Notre Dame de Paris, Notre Dame de Strasbourg and many, many others), abbeys (e.g. Mont Saint Michel in Normandy, Abbaye de Sénanque in Provence), medieval market halls (e.g. a weekend day in Dives-Sur-Mer on the Normandy coast), and  Roman temples and amphitheaters (the Maison Carrée in Nîmes, southern France). You can also admire typical regional architecture, such as the half-timbered houses of Normandy’s coast and back-road villages or the traditional Basque architecture  on one of our French Basque Country tours . From the capital out to the provincial towns, the country’s buildings are all part of the incredibly diverse French landscape.

The Food is Mouth-Watering

Everyone knows that French cuisine is some of the best on earth. Here we recommend some food you should definitely try in France . But, did you know that every region of France has its own local specialities? We bet you’ll find (and love) dishes you never even knew existed as you travel across France. You might be interested in reading our post about the typical food of the Basque Country . Elsewhere you'll enjoy feasting on confit de canard, rillettes, beef Bourguignon and more. And, of course, be prepared to eat lots and lots of fresh baguette and stinky cheese , washed down with a choice of  fine wines, from Bordeaux to Burgundy .

The Wine is Exquisite

Whether you are a connoisseur, an apprentice, or someone who just enjoys having some wine with dinner, France has something to suit all tastes. From the famous vineyards of Bordeaux to the terroirs of Burgundy to the best bistros in Paris, we know exactly where to send our travellers to discover the finest and most delicious wines. We know which vineyards allow visitors to explore by golf-cart, and which ones can arrange a picnic in the midst of the vines, surrounded by beautiful sceneries. If you are in Paris, we recommend going for a wine tasting at O Chateau wine bar and restaurant. It’s just a short walk away from the Louvre museum at 68 Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau. You may book your wine tasting online .

The Beaches are Beautiful

France has beautiful Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, many of which have been depicted in paintings by some of the great artists. If you’re planning to visit France between late spring and early fall, we warmly recommend you spend a day or two at the beach. Save the Atlantic beaches (especially Normandy and Brittany) for the summer months, as it will be too cold and windy before June and after September. Provence and the French Riviera, however, will be warm enough to visit in from late April to early October. Read about  some of our favorite beaches all over France , so wherever you go, you’ll be able to find your nearest beautiful beach!

There are 49 UNESCO Heritage Sites

France has a wide range of UNESCO World Heritage sites that include medieval towns, castles, religious buildings, forts, and landscapes. These 49 sites (correct at the time of updating this post, in 2024) are spread all over France and are a big draw for tourists. As our tours cover 17 regions in France, we have written about all the world heritage sites that are in these specific regions. For the full list, you may like to visit the UNESCO website .

The skiing in France is second to none

Skiers of every skill level head to the French Alps in the winter season, including professionals, families, couples, and groups of friends. It’s not necessary to be a pro to experience skiing in France. Most resorts try to cater for every level, with wide open pistes on gentle slopes for absolute beginners; fast-paced, exciting red runs for intermediate skiers; and more challenging, daring black runs for the pros. There is often also access to some great off-piste areas for confident skiiers who want to explore ‘off-the-beaten-track’. Seasonal skiers often choose the popular alpine resorts of Chamonix, Courchevel, Morzine, Tignes and Val d’Isère. The resorts in the world’s largest connected ski area, Les Trois Vallées, offer the best high altitude terrain where you’ll almost certainly be guaranteed some snow.

There's a festival for all tastes

As far as festivals are concern, visitors to France are spoilt for choice. In the summer, you can attend the Carcassonne Festival of contemporary music, dance and theater, which attracts famous performers from all over the world (recently including Elton John, Deep Purple and Moby). Or perhaps you prefer classical music – in which case head to the gorgeous little town of Menton on the French Riviera (a rival for Cannes any day!) for a concert under the stars. The Menton Music Festival is an annual event and takes place over two weeks during July and August. If you’re a film-buff, you may be attracted by the glitz and glamor of Deauville’s American Film Festival. However, if you prefer something a little more low-key, try the Cabourg Film Festival in mid-June and watch a film at the 400-seater open-air cinema on the beach. If you’re looking for something a little different, check out the Lemon Festival in Menton in February, or the Gypsy pilgrimage to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in Provence every May. 

It's an Endless Source of Inspiration for Creatives

Artists, writers, journalists, photographers, dancers and musicians have found inspiration in Paris for centuries. The work of the protagonists of the Enlightenment, the Golden Age, the Romantic Era, la Belle Époque (or Golden Age) and les Années Folles (the "crazy years" of the 1920s) still endures and remains popular today. You may study the work of philosophers such as Francis Bacon, Denis Diderot, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire and Adam Smith to see how their work was inspired by the reality of the Enlightenment. Famous figures associated with the more turbulent Romantic Era that followed include Alexandre Dumas (author of The Three Musketeers ) and Victor Hugo, whose most famous novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame eventually became a paradigm of the French Romantic movement. 

The Belle Époque (France’s ‘Golden Age’) ran roughly from 1871 up to the beginning of the First World War in 1914. People tend to look back on this era as a time of peace and prosperity, probably because of the stark contrast with the terrible destruction and loss France suffered in the war that immediately succeeded it. The arts flourished during La Belle Époque (which translates from French as ‘the beautiful era’) and many literary, musical, theatrical and artistic masterpieces gained recognition. Prominent artists included Impressionist Claude Monet, and post-Impressionists Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and a young Pablo Picasso. Literary greats Émile Zola, Guy de Maupassant and Marcel Proust gained prominence, and this era also saw the birth of the Eiffel Tower, constructed as the grand entrance to the 1889 World Fair, the Moulin Rouge, and the Art Nouveau movement. 

The Golden Age was brought to an abrupt end as war broke out across Europe, and was followed by ‘Les Années Folles´ or the Roaring Twenties as they were known in other parts of the world. France inspired the likes of expat writers such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and James Joyce, who later became known as the ´Lost Generation. Today, France continues to inspire creatives; Woody Allen’s 2011 film Midnight in Paris follows the protagonist through a journey of magic realism back through the ages of Paris; authors such as Kate Mosse, Peter May and Anthony Doerr have also used different parts of France as settings in their novels. Come to France and find something that inspires you!

We wanted my spouse's birthday trip to France to be special and we could not have expected such a perfect time. From initial communication with Emilie by email right up to having a driver meet us in Paris CDG airport, it was a stress-free vacation. Emilie provided first class service throughout and tailored our desire to see Paris, the Loire Valley, Bordeaux, Dordogne and finally Provence. Her recommendations and arrangements for accommodation, transportation, dining, wine estates, tours, guides and special out of the way places was perfect. She based our vacation on our desires and specific wishes - and she matched them perfectly. We can't say enough how her trip planning, itinerary, choice of what to do was exactly what we were looking for. In addition she provided several out of the way spots away from touristy sites that made this special Birthday vacation amazing. The intriguing part was receiving our custom tailored Guide Books which were indispensable and allowed us to travel worry free. This was a great source of practical, useful information that made our trip even more relaxed. The diversity of the trip allowed us to experience many aspects of French culture - history, art, wine tasting and appreciation, dining, truffle hunting and running through Lavender fields in bloom. Biking through quaint villages and following in the footsteps of Van Gogh and Hemingway, amoung others. Thanks to her we were able to see several regions of France and we came to understand that we could not do everything she suggested - and that was a good thing. Throughout it all Emilie communicated on a regular basis and was always available if we had a question. We would definitely recommend France Just For You to anyone desiring a unique, tailored way of experiencing France.

We are experienced travelers world-wide, generally organizing our own itinerary or having a travel group help us with a tour-for-two, and a personal guide, in several select locations.

We are experienced travelers world-wide, generally organizing our own itinerary or having a travel group help us with a tour-for-two, and a personal guide, in several select locations. This was our first visit to France. So to be on our own with the guidance and extremely comprehensive written support of France Just For You was just remarkable and very reassuring. We felt completely confident during our 26 day tour from Nice to Paris, and we were astounded by the range of experiences offered to us. The accommodation choices were lovely, and all of our hosts were extremely gracious. Do keep in mind that we are a long married couple, and a self-driving tour of this magnitude and length could be trying at times. But we are here to tell the tale. Highly recommended, and many accolades to France Just For You. With thanks,

Laura and Emilie organized a magical trip for us. Every little touch, every recommendation, every part of the trip was absolutely perfect and made our trip even more special! We definitely plan to organize more trips with them!

Travelers wanting to experience France need look no further than France Just for You. Emilie works very hard to make sure travelers have a care-free, positive, unique experience that they could have never found on their own or with a bus tour group. If you dislike prefabricated group tours, and/or feel unconfident about traveling in a foreign country, Emilie will do all the work for you and you can just enjoy the experience. I wish I could find a similar website for other countries I wish to visit. The guidebook is invaluable, user-friendly, and thorough. All the "off the beaten path" recommendations are great, and the B & Bs that Emilie works with are truly wonderful - which adds so much to a trip. Do NOT HESITATE to use the services of France Just For You.
