Abstract

Covid 19 has severely disrupted international travel. In 2020, the restrictions on movement that each country put in place on both traveller arrivals and departures, combined with internal measures, led to a global decrease of 74% in international arrivals and 66% in receipts. As the leading tourist destination in terms of number of travellers and the third largest in terms of receipts, France felt the full force of the shutdown of a flagship sector, losing 50% of its travel receipts. However, the tapering of restrictions in the summer limited the extent of the fall within the European Union, by contrast with travel outside the European Union, which remained very subdued. International travel looks set to undergo a lasting geographical reconfiguration involving a decline in long distance journeys. In this context, France’s market share gains compared with other European countries in 2020 remain to be confirmed. La Covid-19 a bouleversé les voyages internationaux. Les restrictions à la mobilité mises en place dans chaque pays au départ comme à l’arrivée des voyageurs, couplées aux mesures internes, ont entraîné une baisse de 74 % des arrivées internationales dans le monde et de 66 % des recettes en 2020. Première destination touristique en nombre de voyageurs et troisième en recettes, la France a subi de plein fouet la mise à l’arrêt d’un secteur phare avec un effondrement de 50 % de ses recettes de voyages. La saison estivale, avec de moindres restrictions, a toutefois limité l’ampleur de la chute dans l’Union européenne, a contrario des voyages extra-européens restés très déprimés. Une reconfiguration géographique des déplacements internationaux pourrait se dessiner à terme avec un recul des voyages lointains. Dans ce contexte, les gains de parts de marché de la France par rapport aux pays européens en 2020 restent à confirmer.
