The analytics firm claims international departures will reach 68% of pre-Covid levels globally in 2022, and are expected to improve to 82% in 2023 and 97% in 2024.
They will then make a full recovery by 2025 and even marginally exceed 2019 levels, with a projected 1.5 billion international departures forecast by the end of 2025.
However, the firm said the trajectory for the recovery is "not linear" across regions or countries, and warned there were several factors that could hamper this recovery.
Hannah Free, travel and tourism analyst at GlobalData, said international departures from European countries are expected to reach 69% of 2019 figures in 2022.
