In 2022, the EU Tourism Dashboard reported that the dependence of an EU country’s tourism on distant international markets was 10.2%, which is lower than the value in 2019 (which was 2.2%). This decrease suggests a potentially lower environmental footprint due to reduced long-distance travel. Notably, Cyprus had the highest share of nights spent at accommodation establishments by foreign tourists arriving from geographically distant locations, reaching 80.7%. Despite the significantly lower values observed in other EU countries in 2022 compared to previous years, the market is still recovering from the impact of COVID. This implies that there may be an increase in values among the majority of EU countries in the future, potentially contributing to a higher environmental footprint due to long-distance travel.
