The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has highlighted concerns that delays at European borders caused by the Schengen Entry/Exit System (EES) could jeopardize up to 41 million visitor arrivals. This figure represents the potential number of tourists affected if border delays reach three hours.
According to the WTTC analysis, a three-hour waiting time at Schengen border controls is considered a critical threshold that could significantly disrupt the flow of visitors entering Europe. Tourists may face extended wait periods, which could impact travel plans and visitor experience.
