According to Reuters, industry association Exceltur expects the country’s tourism gross domestic product (GDP) to be worth €135 billion in 2022, 88% of pre-pandemic levels, compared to 57% in 2021.
The association reportedly said activity would return to levels prior to the pandemic only in 2023.
"Most business people are again postponing the full recovery of revenues to pre-pandemic levels to 2023 as a result of the triple impact of the Omicron, the energy and supply crisis at the end of 2021," Exceltur said.
It predicted beaches and the countryside would see a "strong recovery", while urban destinations should expect "a less intense recovery".
