Covid restrictions dealt a crushing blow to all sectors of the economy - none more so than travel and tourism, which saw activity fall by over 65%. Even so, the volume of traffic was still relatively high - two hundred thousand in both 2020 and 2021.
And according to GetTransfer analysts, 2022 bookings are set to double year on year, representing between 70 and 80 percent of 2019 pre-pandemic levels thanks to the decline of COVID-19 and the gradual removal of travel restrictions within the EU.
Over the course of the pandemic, the highest levels of activity on the platform were seen in Turkey (Antalya), Spain ( Barcelona and Malaga), Greece ( Athens and Crete ), Italy ( Rome and Milan ), France ( Paris and Nice ), Portugal (Algarve and Lisbon ), the United Kingdom ( London ) and Switzerland ( Geneva airport to ski resorts).
Together, these destinations accounted for over 50% of all GetTransfer.com bookings in Europe .
