countries are ranked according to the highest tourism intensity in 2021
Supplementary notes
According to the source, the ratio "arrivals/population" indicates an estimate of tourism intensity in a country of reference. UNWTO calculated this indicator by dividing the number of inbound tourists by the population.
According to the UNWTO, Finland recorded the highest tourism intensity among the selected European countries in 2021, with an average of roughly **** inbound and domestic tourist arrivals per inhabitant. That year, Spain, with its much larger population, ranked third. In 2021, Spain was among the countries with the highest number of international tourist arrivals worldwide.
