Mapping the future of EU travel: The functionalities of the EU Tourism
Dashboard
In the summer, many Europeans take the opportunity to travel across
the continent to explore and discover all it has to offer. In order to
prepare accordingly, the EU Tourism Dashboard
[https://tourism-dashboard.ec.europa.eu/?lng=en&ctx=tourism] is a
useful tool to navigate the European tourism ecosystem. The dashboard
offers interactive visualisations to monitor both the green and
digital transitions of European tourism. It covers all EU countries
and, additionally, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. 

The EU Tourism dashboard covers the green, digital, and socio-economic
EU policy pillars to track progress towards more sustainable tourism
in these terms. The dashboard has various functionalities, such as
‘My Destination’
[https://tourism-dashboard.ec.europa.eu/destination?lng=en&ctx=tourism&is=TOURISM&ts=TOURISM&pil=level-indicator],
where the user can see how each covered country performs in regard to
the three policy pillars. Another functionality is the ‘Indicator
Map view
[https://tourism-dashboard.ec.europa.eu/map-view?lng=en&ctx=tourism&tv=2021&is=TOURISM&ts=TOURISM&cl=tourism&pil=indicator-level]’
where you can get an overview of how the entire EU region performs on
specific indicators from each pillar. The final interactive map the
dashboard offer is the ‘Monthly data view’
[https://tourism-dashboard.ec.europa.eu/monthly-data-view?lng=en&ctx=tourmqeustat&is=TOURMQEUSTAT&ts=TOURMQEUSTAT&pil=level-indicator],
where you can see a country’s development per indicator in a
timeline format. 

As an online knowledge tool, the EU Tourism Dashboard
[https://tourism-dashboard.ec.europa.eu/?lng=en&ctx=tourism] wants to
provide meaningful visualisations of indicators relevant to tourism.
With these insights, issues can be identified, and policy initiatives
can be facilitated, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient
tourism ecosystem. The data in this dashboard is provided by reliable
sources, namely Eurostat [https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat], national
statistics offices, and the Joint Research Centre.   

Whether you are a curious traveller exploring trends in your country
of destination or a regional tourism board planning for the upcoming
season, the EU Tourism Dashboard is a valuable resource to understand
how tourism is evolving when it comes to climate change impact and
shifting traveller behaviour. If you want to learn more about how EU
countries are responding to these trends, have a look at
