Revenue in the Travel Agencies industry is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 9.1% over the five years through 2024 to €86 billion. The main driver of this drop is the plunge in travel demand during 2020 and 2021, when COVID-19 outbreak grounded flights and confined people to their homes. While domestic travel could continue in some countries, most travel agencies had no trips to sell. Since restrictions were lifted across Europe and globally (which happened at each country’s own pace), the travel sector has seen a resurgence in demand in a trend characterised as revenge travel, with people making up for lost time by taking more trips since COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted. International travel to Europe has also resurged, especially from the US, thanks to the more favourable dollar-to-Europe rate – a welcome trend for agencies. Pent-up demand combined with savings built up during COVID-19 has kept bookings high, defying high inflation across Europe that would usually signal lower trip spending. As a result, revenue is expected to mount by 0.6% in 2024. That being said, the Russia-Ukraine war has plagued tourism in Eastern Europe, with countries like Finland and the Baltic states continuing to record much lower tourist numbers than pre-pandemic because of fewer Russian tourists and lower travel confidence to the region. Revenue is anticipated to climb at a compound annual rate of 4% in the five years through 2029 to €104.6 billion. Online travel agencies will continue to cement their position in the industry as a disruptive force, with most traditional agencies adapting by now or already closed. Climate change will disrupt travel agencies and the destination packages they offer. 2023 already saw wildfires across Greece that spelt disaster for many trips and travel agencies will need to plan for the shift from southern European beaches to northern European destinations as temperatures rise. Travel agencies across Europe will also keep trying to carve out more of a niche by specialising in trips for certain age demographics.
