Several outlets report that the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES), introduced for border processing, is leading to long queues at border crossings as travellers attempt entry into Europe. Coverage characterises the disruption as occurring in recent weeks and affecting the pace of cross-border travel during the summer period. The reporting links these delays to potential economic consequences for tourism, particularly involving spending from British travellers. One estimate cited is that the resulting slowdown could cost European tourism nearly £2 billion due to reduced British spending this summer. The accounts point to an operational challenge during peak travel time, with travellers facing additional time at borders compared with pre-EES conditions. While the precise scale of delays and the extent of the spending impact can depend on where and when the queues occur, the common theme across the reporting is that EES implementation is creating bottlenecks that may discourage or limit travel plans. The articles collectively frame the issue as both a near-term travel inconvenience and a potential drag on tourism revenues during the summer season.
