Tourism in Poland in March fell 26 percent year on year, with a 67.8 percent drop in foreign tourist traffic and a 16.8 percent fall in domestic tourism, the Central Statistical office (GUS) reported on Friday.
GUS said tourists made 1.7 million overnight bookings in March 2021, down 31.9 percent year on year.
Poland’s tourism sector has been battered by the Covid crisis, with little incoming traffic from abroad and hotels and guesthouse being forced to close.
A total of 1.5 million overnight accommodations were booked by domestic tourists while 200,000 were made by foreigners, down 24.4 and 62.9 percent, respectively, year on year.
