UNWTO Report: Understanding domestic tourism and seizing its opportunities


In the light of ongoing restrictions of international mobility due to COVID-19, World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has published a report on domestic tourism and its potentials. The market for domestic tourism is six times larger than that for international tourists in terms of visitor numbers.

The report analyzes domestic tourism markets and provides examples how to boost domestic tourism.
