63、Brazil registers the second-highest intention to visit Europe(37%),but this represents a sharp drop of 12 percentage points from 49%in early 2024.Travel intentions have also taken a hit in Australia and Canada.In Australia,the share of travellers planning a European trip has fallen from 39%to 30%,wh
