A recent report by the European Travel Commission (ETC) shows that the number of European citizens planning to travel abroad this spring has increased by 20% from the figure in November 2020. 

According to the ETC report “Sentiment of surveillance on domestic and intra-European travel”, the number of Europeans planning to travel in the next six months also slightly increased from 49% to 52%. 

ETC’s survey shows that citizens have begun to have more positive ideas when planning their next trip. However, only 12% of participants have considered traveling in the first two months of this year. 

The survey also showed that intra-European travel was the main choice, as most respondents wanted to travel to another European country (40%) rather than domestic travel (36%).
