EIU ’ s Tourism in 2023 Report Is In
The Economist Intelligence Unit ( EIU ) released its Tourism in 2023 report in late October of 2022 , and the results are optimistic . The report predicts that global tourism arrivals will increase by 30 % in the new year but will still trail behind pre-pandemic levels . Although the trends point toward continued recovery for the travel industry , the report also noted several factors like China ’ s zero-COVID policy , rising costs around the globe and labor shortages as pain points that are expected to continue into 2023 .
In late 2022 , Amsterdam Airport Schiphol ( AMS ) announced plans to continue capping its departures , in order to provide travelers with a more reliable travel experience . The airport has been capping departures since June of 2022 , and AMS stated that it will continue to limit departures through early 2023 when it will reevaluate the situation .
