The latest edition of the Long-Haul Travel Barometer (3/2025), published by the European Travel Commission (ETC) and Eurail BV, shows that overall long-haul travel demand for September to December 2025 has declined compared to last year, with 55% of respondents planning an overseas trip, down 4%. The share of travellers unwilling to travel longer distances has risen particularly in China, Brazil and Canada, signalling a growing sense of caution. Within this picture, intentions to visit Europe remain steady, underlining the region’s resilience in a challenging global environment.
