The European Travel Commission (ETC) and Eurail B.V. released the Long-Haul Travel Barometer (LHTB) 1/2025 in February 2025, offering insights into the travel preferences, motivations, and barriers of potential travellers from Australia, Brazil, China, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the US regarding travel to and within Europe. The report, based on 1,000 interviews conducted every four months in these markets, reveals that 63% of respondents plan to take a long-haul trip in 2025. Of these, 44% intend to visit Europe, a slight decrease from 49% in 2024.
