Tourism in Europe – level 2
23-05-2025 15:00
Tourism is having problems because of political fights and money issues between Europe and the USA. People are worried and don’t want to book trips easily.
Most tourists in Europe are Europeans visiting other countries in Europe. About 85% of trips are inside Europe, and 15% come from faraway countries like the USA and China. These visitors often choose smaller places to visit, which helps with too many tourists in popular cities. Tourism is very important for some countries because it helps the economy. Even though people travel less because of money and environment worries, tourism is still growing after COVID.
Europe tries to attract visitors from Asian countries like Japan and India. It also tries to find new ways to get tourists, not only from big countries but from many places.
Difficult words: political (about government and countries), environment (the natural world).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
