3.1 Europe Leisure Travel Market Trends Analysis Under Global Inflation
After peaking in 2022, headline inflation in Europe continued to decline in the first quarter of 2023 as energy prices fell sharply. Margins are expected to decline gradually over the forecast period as margins absorb higher wage pressure and tighten financing conditions. Core inflation in the euro area is forecast to average 6.1% in 2023 before falling to 3.2% in 2024. Europe has been hit hard by the economic fallout of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine after emerging strongly from the pandemic. Growth slowed sharply, inflation soared, and financial stress built up. Europe is currently facing the arduous task of maintaining recovery, beating inflation, and maintaining financial stability. The deterioration in the near-term growth outlook for the European region reflects subdued private consumption and investment amid tighter global financial conditions, weak external demand, and persistent inflation. Continued weakness in external demand is expected to hold back exports, as activity in the euro area continues to be subdued, while spillovers from the reopening of the Chinese economy remain modest. In Europe, the extent of this recession varies from country to country. While companies find ways to become more energy efficient by 2022, continued increases in energy prices will shave 1% off medium-term output in the euro area, with losses larger in energy-intensive economies such as Germany and Italy. Central and Eastern European economies have been hit especially hard by a global shortage of raw materials and disruptions in trade relations with Russia. Because these countries are close to Russia in geographical location and history and are energy-intensive countries. Inflation rates in Central and Eastern Europe are significantly higher than in most other EU countries.
