More and more tourists from other continents visit the Schengen area. Europe is especially popular with tourists from America and Asia. This shows the attractiveness of the Schengen area for tourists. This of course poses a threat to internal security. The more travelers enter the Schengen area, the greater the danger of terrorist attacks. America has been aware of this fact for a long time and with ESTA has created a good entry point. Without much effort, tourists provide important data and receive an entry permit. They do not need to visit a consulate for this. At the end of the year after next, the Schengen area will establish a comparable system with ETIAS.
From which countries do tourists enter the country?
About 500 million tourists visit the EU every year. 83% of them come from Europe itself. 83 million travelers come from North and South America, that is 8%. 7 percent arrive from Asia or the Pacific region. One percent of travelers come from the Middle East or Africa. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of travelers from the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. This is simply because the countries are developing more strongly economically and therefore the inhabitants continue to travel.
By the way, not only the number of travelers outside of Europe has increased. More and more people are travelling within the borders of Europe. Their number is increasing by an average of two percent a year.
Entering the Schengen area is easy
Until now, many tourists could simply enter the Schengen area with their passports. Some countries require a Schengen visa. Those who need a Schengen visa to enter the Schengen area will still have to go to the consulate and obtain the document.
Travelers who are used to simply pack their suitcases and enter with their passports will have to spend a few more minutes in the future. From the end of 2022, travelers who were previously allowed to enter Germany without a visa will be required to apply for an electronic entry permit.
ETIAS can be filled out quickly. The form is available on the Internet. Now only the travel data must be entered. It is important that the traveler proceeds carefully. If he or she does not have a suitable terminal, friends, acquaintances or an agency can also make the entry. In most cases the approval is done within a few minutes. After that nothing stands in the way of the trip.
