Generally, there have been a decreasing trend in tourist arrivals globally over the past decade from 2001 to 2021. From 2001 to 2021, tourist arrivals have decreased by 294,567,220 from 822,974,611 in 2001 to 528,407,391 in 2021. [Explanation] This might be due to outbreak of diseases which is the COVID-19 pandemic. With disease outbreaks, people may postpone or cancel travel plans out of fear for their safety. Governments also may choose to close off the affected area or issue travel advisories to discourage travelling to the affected areas to ensure safety, thus reducing the number of tourist arrivals.

However, there is an anomaly whereby tourist arrivals globally actually increase. From 2009 to 2019, tourist arrivals increased by approximately 700 million from approximately 1.1 billion in 2009 to approximately 1.8 billion in 2019. [Explanation] This might be due to lower transport costs. International tourism relies heavily on air transport, which has become increasingly affordable. Over the years, air fares have significantly dropped, especially with the emergence of budget airlines. Budget airlines offer air tickets at significantly lower prices, lowering transport costs, especially for international travel which is possible with the use of fuel-efficient planes, which reduces fuel costs, and by flying to airports with cheaper fees. Thus, lowering transport costs.

This is due to COVID-19 which had caused a big impact on every lifestyles of everyone throughout the world, preventing people to continue traveling to different parts of the world. The decrease in tourist trips could also be due to tourism externalities where tourists had caused a negative impact to the environment by contributing to global carbon emissions, thus encroaching on local environments and cultures as some countries may even minimise the amount of tourists that are able to visit per year. Hence why a decrease in tourist trips.
