Post-Pandemic Tourism in European Union

Abstract

The consequences left by COVID-19 pandemic have taken on global proportions. Serbia, like many other countries, has suffered a great damage in tourism industry since the beginning of the pandemic. The recovery of the tourism industry is already visible during 2021, while the data obtained so far for 2022 are extremely encouraging. The exercise of tourist activities by a large number of people led to the emergence of the so-called "excessive" tourism. Pandemic, should prompt tourism providers to respond to a new demand by adjusting their, currently unsustainable product offers. The aim of the work is to show the movement in the tourism industry by tracking the number in the countries of the European union in the post-pandemic years compared to 2019, which is considered a record year for tourism in the world.
