Abstract

The results of a holistic, comprehensive analysis of the problem of key trends in post-pandemic recovery and development of the tourism industry in the Western European region are presented. The empirical base of the study is represented by a set of studies on the state of the post-pandemic tourism market, carried out by authoritative international organizations: UNWTO, European Tourism Commission, Eurostat, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, World Economic Forum, World Travel and Tourism Council. The content of the key trends in the development of tourism is characterized according to the following parameters: 1) growth of international tourist arrivals and income from international tourism; 2) increasing the volume of domestic and short-term trips; 3) resumption of passenger air transportation; 4) signs of shortage of personnel in the tourism sector; 5) change in consumer behavior; 6) changes in the supply of tourist services (emergence of innovative products); 7) deferred demand for tourist services as a factor in the development of tourism. Arguments in favor of positive dynamics are demonstrated according to parameters 1 (the ranking of leaders in terms of revenue from the tourism industry is presented), 2 (half of the trips are domestic), 3 (the index of the volume of passenger air transportation in 2022 was 75.5% of the level of 2019) , 5 (examples of overtourism unique to the Ukrainian tourist market, represented by a record number of Hasidic pilgrims to Uman; tourists from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates to Western Ukraine and Kyiv), 6 (flexible cancellation, rebooking or refund policy for tourist trips; focus on business tourism); 7) unexpectedly sharp growth of the "luxury" sector of tourist travel, including in Ukraine. New trends in the organization of the work process and rest are characterized, in particular "workation", "flexcation". A clear trend of the post-pandemic period is the sharp growth of the "luxury" travel segment. The article succinctly characterizes the basic provisions on this issue, revealed in the conceptual work of prof. Simon Hudson's «COVID-19 and the Impact on Travel, Responses and Outcomes”.
