Evidence: Provides the final 2019 and 2025 arrival counts used to identify markets that remained below baseline.
A larger percentage means a weaker recovery relative to that market’s own 2019 level. Markets that equalled or exceeded 2019 are outside this shortfall ranking.
For each sovereign market below its 2019 level, the 2025 shortfall was divided by the final 2019 count. Markets were ordered by the largest unrounded percentage shortfall.
Every market uses the same official source, final annual endpoints, visitor unit and entity-specific denominator.
