UNWTO forecasts for tourism in 2022

The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) expects that 2022 will recover 65% of the volume of pre-pandemic tourists, according to the organization’s initial scenarios.

UNWTO projections are based on data through September, during which time international tourism showed good signs of recovery, with arrivals at 63% of the volume recorded in the same period before the pandemic (2019).

After calculating 700 million international tourists in the world from January and September, 133% higher than in 2021, predictions for the remainder of the year are “cautiously optimistic,” suggesting a modest improvement in the final outcome is possible.

The organization found that 340 million overseas travels occurred between July and September, accounting for nearly half of the total for the nine months.

UNWTO predicts that Russia’s offensive in Ukraine, together with other factors such as stubbornly high inflation and rising energy prices, might slow the rate of recovery in the fourth quarter and in 2023.

Despite mounting difficulties that suggest a slower pace of recovery, it is possible that tourism revenues will total between €1.17 billion and €1.26 billion by the end of 2022, an increase of 60% to 70% over the previous year, and a recovery of 70% to 80% of the value registered in 2019 (€1.75 billion).

Portugal and Spain are showing signs of a strong recovery and both are starting to reach the numbers obtained in 2019.

Lisbon neighborhood was elected the second coolest in the world. Cais do Sodré

Lisbon neighborhood was elected the second “coolest” in the world

The American magazine Time Out polled 20,000 residents of various cities and brought together experts to rank the best places for fun, food, culture, and community life. Second place went to Lisbon‘s Cais do Sodré. It was the only neighborhood from Portugal present on the list.

According to Time Out, “this is the district where Lisbon’s most promising young chefs are building new restaurants; where tiny businesses are springing to life; where much-loved bars and clubs are slowly rising from the ashes of recent years”.

Cais do Sodré, an absolute must-see for anyone interested in experiencing the energy of Lisbon’s nightlife, is a popular destination for both locals and visitors due to its distinctive pink street. There is a wide selection of places to go out and have fun, from bars and restaurants to comedy shows.

“Cais do Sodré is more popular than ever”, praised the American magazine.

The magazine also recommended a “perfect day” at Cais do Sodré. Starting in the morning with breakfast at Dear Breakfast, then passing by the minimalist clothing store +351, on the way to have lunch at Time Out Market. After that, you can cross the street for a drink at Quiosque de São Paulo, before having dinner at Tricky’s. After your meal, head to “Rua Cor-de-Rosa” and let Lisbon’s nightlife take you wherever you go.

During your next golf holidays in Lisbon, consider a visit to Cais do Sodré.
