European Travel Commission dissaminate information on the European tourism trends in the second quarter 2009. The number of international visitors to the continent, in the period, decreased by 10% and most of the countries has dropped, with the worst performance in Central and Eastern Europe.Double-digit decreases were recorded, in fact, from Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Lithuania and Russia, but also Portugal and Spain are in decline, with arrivals at minus 12 and minus 14%.
The main cause of decline in these cases, seems to be, the fall in arrivals from Great Britain.
But there are exceptions such as Iceland, which, thanks to favorable exchange rate in the first quarter 2009 reported an increase.

Future trends of tourism industry would be in space as well as virtual travel, creation of new foreign travelers as well as rare tourist spots. There can be rising threat to nature & new travel perceptions as significant trends.
I do agree with Your point of view, only if I can't immagine the "taste" of virtual tours. I love technology and Try to use it, I even look to marvellous hotels and destination virtual tours, but, belive me, I'd rather would like to be there instead seeing them from my computer... Friendly Yours, Omero
