According to the data from the OECD, outbound tourism from the European Union experienced significant growth between 2015 and 2021. Tourism from OECD countries in Europe varied significantly by destination from 2015 to 2021, with notable declines during 2020, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Germany consistently saw high outbound tourism, especially to Austria, while countries like France and Italy also experienced substantial outbound tourism to other European nations.
