According to the source, the indicator "arrivals/population" provides an estimate of tourism intensity in the country of reference. This indicator is calculated by UNWTO based on the available basic data on number of visitors. The calculation is made according to the following formula:
Inbound tourists+domestic visitors/population.
The average number of inbound and domestic visitors per inhabitant in Portugal increased to roughly **** in 2021. There was a marked decrease in tourism intensity in the previous year, most likely as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
