Leisure travel flows within the European Union

One dataset ('Potential.csv') characterizes the potential for eight different holiday styles (city tourism, culture tourism, nature tourism, event tourism, sports tourism, sea, sun and sand tourism, wellness tourism and visiting relatives) in the European Union (EU28) at the NUTS2 level, quantified using spatial data indicating the presence and attractiveness of specific assets. Three datasets ('Number of trips.csv', 'Total distance traveled.csv', 'Total CO2e emissions.csv') characterize leisure travel flows for these eight holiday styles, within and between the NUTS regions of the EU28.

Flows are expressed in terms of number of trips, total distance travelled, and aggregate carbon emissions, and are provided by origin region-destination region pair. In all three datasets, flows are also classified into three transport options: air, rail, and road. Each transport option is multimodal, which matters for the calculation of carbon emissions.
