The appetite for European travel remains upbeat heading into the summer, but a number of destinations continue to experience a larger share of tourists over a limited period of time. This is set to cause another summer of overcrowding among various cities and islands.

This webinar will explore the latest European travel outlook and highlighting some key topics at a national and city level with a specific focus on over tourism.
