The tourism industry across the globe is increasing rapidly. According to the latest figures published by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), in July 2021, almost 54 million international tourists traveled across the world. This is the highest figure recorded since the beginning of the health crisis that brought the global tourism industry to a virtual standstill for many months. This figure also represents an increase of around 58%, compared to the 34 million international tourists in July 2020. Additionally, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council, Saudi Arabia is expected to record 22.1 million international arrivals by 2025, nearly 40% higher than Dubai's current visitors. Further, World Tourism Organization forecasts that South America will receive 78.2 million tourists by 2027, generating US$ 82 billion for the local economy. In addition, the UAE, Australia, the US, Canada, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, India, and China are among the prominent tourist destinations. Thus, the growing tourism industry in these destinations increases recreational sailing and water sports activities. For instance, the snowballing effect of domestic and international tourist footfall in European countries is massively contributing to the recreational boating industry. In 2020, the global tourism sector witnessed decline due to the imposition of national lockdowns across the world. In 2021, with the uplifting of lockdowns and reopening of manufacturing factories, the production of pontoon boats has resumed. The tourism sector is working in many countries with strict government protocols. Various advanced features, such as Bluetooth speakers, additional seating, or even inflatable water slides, are being installed in the boats to attract customers. It would help in the growth of the pontoon boat market in the coming years.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken several industries. The tremendous growth in the spread of the virus has urged governments worldwide to impose strict restrictions on vehicles and human movement due to travel bans, mass lockdowns, and business shutdowns. The lockdown imposition has resulted in the lesser production of commodities, goods, and services.
In 2020, the continuous growth in the number of virus-infected patients had governments put a bar on the transportation of humans and goods. The manufacturing sector has witnessed severe losses due to the temporary shutdown of factories and low production volumes, which has had a negative impact on pontoon boats globally. Additionally, governments' social or physical distancing measures have led ship manufacturers to limit their operations. Therefore, the pontoon boat market had a negative impact during 2020.
However, in 2021, with the uplifting of lockdown and vaccination processes, the manufacturing of pontoon boats has started again. Further, to overcome the challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak, the pontoon boat manufacturers are focusing on increasing product innovation and keeping consumers' requirements in mind will lead to increased demand. Therefore, the global pontoon boat market is growing steadily.
