Euronews – A new joint study by Deloitte and Google analyses the evolution of the tourism sector since 1990 and anticipates how it will continue to develop until 2040. Worldwide, the number of trips is expected to continue to increase, reaching 2.4 billion by 2040.
European countries will capture the largest share (38%) of these trips, with over 362 million incremental tourists in total between 2019 and 2040, the study says.
The country which will welcome the most is predicted to be Spain, whose annual visitor numbers will soar to 110 million by 2040, compared to France’s projected 105 million.
