This presentation is mapping the migratory routes to Europe, details their characteristics and briefs the ongoing changes in the political-, economic and social sphere.

Editor's Notes
Major center of culture, education and historyWhat are some ways that Europe has had a global influence throughout history?Colonialism – exploration and establishment of colonies results in long term relationship lasting until today (for better or for worse) Example – Europe and Africa – tourism is Euro dependentMigration – sources of immigrants to Euro countries, contributes to VFR tourism today both ways and heritage tourism to find where your ancestors are fromRomans – major contributions to modern Europe in traditions, law, public administration and militaryToday much of tourism in Europe is centered on historic or cultural sites Roman sites in Spain, France, UK, Italy, Romania, Germany – all tourist attractions to varying degreesVFR tourism due to forced and voluntary migrationHeritage tourism – to find where your ancestors were from
What has the EU done for tourism in Europe?Recognition of importance of the tourism industry to the economy of the EUMadrid DeclarationWatch this videohttp://www.dailymotion.com/video/xldot6_eu-plans-tourism-boost_news This has resulted in:Development or re-development projects throughout the EU of historic, cultural sites and transportation and infrastructure improvements*Creation of the Schengen Area – elimination of border crossings with a common EU/Schengen VisaCommon currency! No need to exchange currency every time you cross a border
Now, adding 2010 statistics2008 decline, and then by 2010 Europe saw a 3% growth which was a recovery but still slower than most of the rest of the worldStill uncertainty due to 2008 recessionVolcanic eruptions in Iceland in Spring 2010 which closed air space over Europe due to a cloud of ash for some time2008 – 2010 growth in arrivalsGermany – 11% Turkey – 6%But arrivals are still not at the level of 2008 and earlierUNWTO expects arrivals in Europe this year to grow but still less than peak in 2008Some things to noteCentral and Eastern Europe grew by 5% in 2010 France 0% growth in 2010UK negative growth in 2010 Spain, Italy and Greece weak growth in 2010
Current issues impacting tourismNegative population growth in many countries in Europe due to people have smaller families. But we haveImmigration from colonialism in the past and these immigrants typically have higher growth rates (results in new tourism patterns namely VFR tourism inbound and outbound)Aging population – causing similar issues to what we learned in JapanMay curtail travel to some areas and increase travel to other areasPossible increase in second home ownership generally associated with older, retired people
Not only is tourism to Europe a large and important segment of international tourists but Europeans are also a the most important source market of international tourists (travelling within Europe and to other parts of the world)Why?long vacationsLarge, affluent populationsEase of travelClose distanceEasy to get visas for many Europeans (Like US)Flights and trains are widespreadTradition of long vacations
