LONDON, July 11 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Market Research Company Euromonitor International released today its latest travel research, providing the latest insights on the industry performance.
According to Euromonitor's new research, global travel and tourism sales grew consistently despite high external shockwaves. Geopolitical tensions, whether terrorism or political concerns, have impacted the traditional sun and sea destinations in locations such as the Mediterranean Sea, with safer destinations winning out. "The substitution effect, where tour operators shift capacity away from troubled hotspots to more stable countries, is visible" says Caroline Bremner, Head of Travel Research at Euromonitor International. International arrivals declined in Egypt and Tunisia, suffering a negative growth of 25 percent and 5 percent respectively, as the travel industry and consumers shun trouble for the safer shores of Spain, Portugal and Croatia.
