Tourism has been one of the strongholds of European economy during the economic crisis, and the positive trend will continue in 2014, with only 11% of Europeans expect not to go away. According to the new survey published on 13th February, the sector has been an engine of domestic demand-driven economic growth in 2013, with more people choosing to spend holidays outside of their own country but within the EU. The Eurobarometer survey on preferences of Europeans towards tourism also explores motivations and obstacles for Europeans to travel, the main destinations, the information sources used for planning a holiday, how Europeans arranged their holidays in 2013, their satisfaction with the sector and the level of safety experienced at the accommodation and services.
