Destinations in Europe can look back over the past year and celebrate the outstanding performance of their tourism sector. According to the latest UNWTO estimates, Europe hosted 563 million international visitors in 2013, 29 million more than in previous year. In relative terms, this means a robust growth of 5.4%, which is well above the most optimistic forecasts formulated at the beginning of 2013, which pointed to a maximum increase of 3%.
