In Europe, the Eurozone, migrant crisis, and Brexit, have all impacted the tourism industry. Visitor numbers to America are down and tourism growth expected to fall further if borders are tightened.

In the Czech Republic, arrivals to Prague are up from last year by nearly 5 percent. The Czech capital is the fifth-most visited destination in Europe and ranks number 18 in the world for inbound arrivals, up four spots from number 22 last year.

In its insights for the European region, the study notes that mass tourism, while important to many local and national economies, is seeing overcrowding change the perception of its benefits.
