Description
From 2012 to 2019, the Colosseum in Rome saw steady growth in visitor numbers, peaking at around 7.5 million in 2018 and 2019. However, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a sharp decline in 2020, with visitor numbers dropping below 1 million due to global travel restrictions and lockdowns. A slight recovery followed in 2021, with a significant rebound in 2022 and 2023, as visitor numbers surged past 10 million, likely exceeding pre-pandemic levels. This recovery can be attributed to the reopening of international borders, pent-up travel demand, and renewed promotional efforts.
