Will this trend continue in 2017? What do travellers think about their next holiday in Europe, and what are their intentions? The Long-haul Travel Barometer measures potential travellers’ sentiment for visiting Europe in the near future and sheds light on their travel preferences and perceptions. Prospects remain positive in the majority of the markets featured in the survey. American, Japanese and Chinese respondents are keener to travel to Europe in 2017 than a year ago. In Russia, there are some optimistic signs of revival, but in contrast, there is uncertainty among visitors from Brazil.
