European Tourism
Europe's travel pulse in one clean Parquet: monthly nights spent at tourist accommodation (hotels, holiday & short-stay, campsites) for every European country, split into total, foreign-visitor and domestic-visitor nights - pulled from Eurostat and flattened to one row per country × series × month since 2000. The full seasonal signal plus the COVID collapse and recovery; joins to air-passenger, macro and weather on country code.

European EV Charging Buildout (EAFO)
The installed base of electric-vehicle recharging points across Europe, per country over time - the European mirror of the US EV-charging buildout. From the European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO/DG MOVE): the AFIR-methodology quarterly AC/DC split (2020→present) plus the pre-AFIR annual totals (2012-2019), stitched into one clean multi-country Parquet keyed by country code. Note: AFIR counts recharging POINTS (connectors), not stations/sites.
European Transport
The land-transport pulse of Europe in one panel: rail freight (thousand tonnes) and rail passengers (million passenger-km), plus the passenger-car fleet and new-car registrations split by fuel (total / petrol / diesel). Cleaned from Eurostat transport statistics into one tidy annual per-country table - the mobility and fleet-transition signal that complements our road-freight and air-passenger products.
