However it is now assumed that tourism activity will decline by 50% in the second half of 2020 bringing this year forecast of total export earnings from international tourism to $0.9 trillion down from $1.75 trillion in 2019.

Looking backward, according to the MasterCard Global Destination Index, in the time of an increase of world real GDP of 140.3% the total amount of international overnights arrivals from 2009 to 2018 ascended by 176%, while overall tourism expenditures increased by even 197%.

In 2019 world tourism activity grew by 3% - 4% while in Europe growth is estimated at 6%. However, an EC study on the supply of accessible tourism estimated that only 9% of tourist services in the EU provided accessible offers, leaving a large gap between supply and demand.

Figures released by the World Tourism Organization show that total export earnings from international tourism reached $1.7 trillion in 2018, an increase of 4% from 2017.
