Press Release: Tourism expected to grow again in 2014, led by strong domestic and European demand

On 13 February 2014, the European Commission published a new Eurobarometer survey on preferences of Europeans towards tourism.

Tourism has been one of the strongholds of European economy during the economic crisis, and the positive trend will continue in 2014, with only 11% of Europeans expect not to go away. According to the new survey, the tourism sector has been an engine of domestic demand-driven economic growth in 2013, with more people choosing to spend holidays outside of their own country but within the EU.
