The project “Monitoring Sentiment for Intra-European Travel” gauges the sentiment, drivers and behaviours for domestic and intra-European travel in ten high-volume European source markets – Germany, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Poland and Austria. Key findings and recommendations for destinations and tourism authorities have been made available in monthly reports since September 2020.

This project is co-funded by the European Union.

Results are prepared with the expertise of MINDHAUS
