In 2023, global tourism experienced a remarkable resurgence, with approximately 1.3 billion international arrivals, marking 88 percent of pre-pandemic levels, as reported by the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.

Notably, the Middle East surpassed pre-pandemic figures by 22 percent. The UNWTO anticipates a full recovery to pre-pandemic levels by 2024, driven by increased travel demand and enhanced air connectivity, particularly in Asian destinations. Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Dubai led the list of the most visited cities in 2023, attracting millions of tourists each. These cities, along with others like London, Singapore, and Paris, offer diverse cultural experiences and attractions, contributing significantly to global tourism’s rapid rebound. As the tourism industry continues to flourish, destinations worldwide are poised for an exciting future in travel, with the UNWTO forecasting a return to pre-pandemic figures by 2024.
