Chinese and Indian tourists are set to make up for a potential slowdown in growth from U.S. travellers to Europe this year, according to a survey published on Wednesday by the European Travel Commission, with international arrivals to the continent set to rise by 6.2%. This is the first sign of a slowdown in the post-pandemic boom in American travel to Europe, driven by a strong U.S. dollar and economic resilience in North America. An earlier study from industry group the European Travel Commission showed that Americans were less intent on travelling to Europe in 2026 than in 2025, a trend driven by worsening economic concerns and geopolitical instability.
