After the arrival of Covid-19 in the year 2019, tourism all over the world came to a halt. People had stopped travelling and there was a huge decline in tourism, but according to a recent report by the UN's World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), there will be a big jump in tourism in the year 2024.

You will be surprised to know that in the year 2024, people did not reach Thailand or Malaysia in large numbers, but rather, people reached Europe in large numbers. According to the report, people travelled as much as the population of India. In the year 2024, about 1.4 billion people travelled internationally. Out of this, 747 million people travelled to Europe.

Which country has the most number of people?

France has received the most tourists in the whole world. In the year 2024, more than 100 million tourists arrived in France. After this, Spain was second, with 98 million tourists arriving in Spain. France's National Tourism Marketing Department said in a statement, the year 2024 was a very good year for French tourism, we have high hopes for 2025 as well.

There are many reasons behind the 100 million tourists recorded in France. The Summer Olympics, the re-opening of Paris's iconic Notre Dame Cathedral and the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing in Normandy are the three major things that increased the number of tourists in the country. According to the Tourism Development Industry of France, 5 lakh 50 thousand Indians visited France in the year 2023. However, in the year 2019 this number was 7 lakh.

Along with this, a large number of tourists were registered not only in Europe but also in the Middle East and Asia. According to the UNWTO report, 316 million tourists were registered in Asia. At the same time, 213 million tourists were registered in America and 95 million in the Middle East.

According to the report, Qatar's tourism has increased significantly in the Middle East. Qatar has registered a 137 percent increase in tourism. Tourism has been boosted by changes in the country's infrastructure. Qatar Airways has been awarded the title of the world's best airline in 2024, while Doha's Hamad International has won the title of the world's best airport.
