Although the figure remained 61 percent lower than the first quarter of 2019, a year before the pandemic, it showed tourism was continuing to recover "at a strong pace" as "restrictions ease and confidence returns," it said. Strong growth was also seen in the Americas, where arrivals more than doubled and in the Middle East, up 132 percent.
