The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted international tourism in 2020 and 2021, with countries across the world adopting different travel restrictions to limit the spread of the virus. According to an August 2021 study, the share of adults in the United Kingdom mentioning the United States as the main destination for their long vacations abroad dropped from 14 percent in 2020 to just four percent in 2021. That year, Greece was the most popular overseas destination for long holidays, chosen by six percent of the survey sample.
