Business travel spending in Europe 2019-2020, by country

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic massively disrupted global travel and tourism in 2020. Countries across the globe enacted emergency measures and travel bans to curb the spread of the virus. Due to the impact of the pandemic, business tourism spending in Europe fell dramatically in 2020 over the previous year. Overall, Germany was the European country recording the highest figure in 2020, with spending on business trips amounting to 36 billion U.S. dollars that year, dropping from 66.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2019. The United Kingdom reported the second-highest expenditure in Europe in 2020, at over 23 billion U.S. dollars.
