Americans Tourists Plan Fewer Trips to Europe This Fall
Skift Take
As Americans cut back on international travel this fall, Europe is going to have to depend more on China to keep up its growth in inbound tourism.
American interest in traveling to Europe this fall has declined compared to last year, according to the European Travel Commission's survey results released this week.
About 23% of Americans expressed interest in visiting Europe between September and December, down from 41% for the same period last year. Among those who didn't express interest in traveling to Europe, 40% cited high travel costs as their primary reason.
This drop in interest follows a surge in American travel to Europe this summer.
