- Europe faces new challenges from a resurgent Russia, Islamic fundamentalism, and growing pressure from Africa, causing poverty and political changes.
- Europe accounted for 72% of international tourism arrivals in 1960, but this share had fallen to just over 50% by 2018.
- Europe dominates world tourism, including five out of the world's top 10 destination countries, and accounts for half the world's receipts from international tourism.
- Europe's tourism infrastructure is mature and of a high standard, with most European governments having well-funded and competent tourist authorities with marketing and development powers.
- Europe has stable political and economic structures, providing a safe environment for investment in tourism.
- Europe is physically diverse, with two major physical/climatic divisions - north and south - separated by a series of mountain ranges such as the Alps.
- Europe's seas, especially the Mediterranean, are important for coastal tourism but face serious problems of pollution and degradation of marine ecosystems.
- Europe has resisted the trend towards homogenisation, with national and even regional cultures, languages, and traditions continuing to flourish.
- Europe represents a major tourism market, with a population approaching 700 million, and is dominated by Western and Southern Europe.
- The traditional flow of tourists from the northern industrial areas to the south is diminishing due to various reasons, including the increasing popularity of long-haul destinations and the adoption of the Euro, making reasonably-priced destinations more expensive.
- Seasonality is a major issue in European tourism, with beach tourism still dominating the European product, but other sectors of tourism, such as short-break city and cultural tourism, are on the increase.
