2、a-European travel and is the 19th wave of a market research project which began in September 2020.The findings are drawn from data collected in May and early June 2024 from individuals across 10 key European markets for the June-November 2024 travel period.TRAVEL INTENTIONSEuropean tourism is set to
3、 reach new heights,with 76%of Europeans planning to travel between June and November 2024,up by 6%over last year.Leisure is the key motivation for 70%,while 14%will travel to visit friends/relatives,and 8%plan a business trip.Travel will peak with the heat of the summer-45%of respondents intend to t
4、ravel in June and July(+6%compared to last year),and an additional 39%will do so during August and September.Visiting another European country remains the most popular choice for 58%of travellers,while 28%will travel domestically.As in previous summers,Sun&Beach trips have the lead(19%),followed by
5、Culture&Heritage(17%)and Nature&Outdoors(14%).Europeans most desired travel experiences include admiring natural landscapes,savouring local gastronomy and indulging in local cultures.TRIP PLANNINGNearly equal shares of travellers plan to take a single trip(36%)and two trips(33%)in the upcoming month
6、s,with the former increasing by 6%compared to last year,possibly due to economic concerns.A larger share of Europeans(56%)have already booked their upcoming trip,gearing up towards travelling high season.54%of Europeans will fly to their next destination,up by 5%over a year ago.Travel by train remai
7、ns stable at 11%.As for accommodation,hotels remain Europeans first choice(53%,+3%compared to last year),followed by short-term rentals(17%).Research highlightsTRIP PLANNINGTaking advantage of the Grandes Vacances,half of travellers are planning trips that extend for at least one week.This trend is
8、particularly prominent among Europeans aged 45 and above,who show a notable preference(52%)for extended vacations lasting beyond seven days.Despite price inflation,Europeans travel budgets and intended length of stay for the coming months remain unchanged.Europeans aged 25-34 are the most likely to
9、splurge on their upcoming trip,with 46%planning on spending over 1,500 euros per trip.TRAVEL CONCERNSIn times of geopolitical tension,climate crisis,and high travel costs,safety(16%),pleasant weather(13%),and bargains(11%)are Europeans leading criteria for choosing a destination in the coming six mo
10、nths.Consequently,price inflation(21%)and personal finances(16%)are travellers leading concerns,followed by geo-political tensions resulting from the war in Ukraine(11%)and the Middle East(10%).Additionally,some Europeans have reported changing their travel habits due to the evolving climate.A third
11、 of them now shared to be avoiding destinations where temperatures might reach extreme levels,opting instead for locations with more stable weather conditions.Travellers above the age of 55 are particularly determined to avoid the heat.WAVE 19 Recommendations for Recommendations for destinationsdest
12、inations As European travel demand peaks,a growing number of destinations are called upon to prevent overtourism,by implementing visitors management tools.These include limiting further expansion of tourism infrastructure,capping visitor numbers,applying visitors taxes,and directing tourism developm
13、ent to second tier destinations.Europeans growing concern about extreme temperatures is a prime opportunity for Coast&Sea getaways,which could market themselves as a pleasant and less crowded alternative to hot and jam-packed Sun&Beach destinations.Europeans demand for air travel soars especially fo
14、r Culture&Heritage(61%)and Sun&Beach(59%)trips.To encourage these travellers to take a train,destinations should act to make train travel more affordable,enhance the supply of direct trains between key demand areas and popular destinations,and offer rewards to travellers who choose to travel by trai
15、n.To aid travellers with an aversion to extreme weather,destinations should mitigate the impact of such events by establishing cooling areas in tourist spots,increasing the availability of shaded areas,and investing in heat-resilient infrastructure(e.g.,heat-reflective pavements).WAVE 19 Recommendat
16、ions for Recommendations for businessesbusinesses 29%of Europeans plan to immerse themselves in the local lifestyle or learn new things about their next destinations.To meet this interest,local businesses could provide walking tours,culinary experiences,workshops,and visits to local homesactivities
17、that would allow visitors to get an insiders perspective while promoting cross-cultural understanding and more respectful behaviours.To attract couples who prefer staying in hotels,these establishments could offer romantic packages,create activities specifically for couples,and emphasise privacy and
18、 intimacy.38%of Cruise travellers and 32%of Sun&Beach travellers have already fully booked their trip,and travel agencies targeting these travellers should market well in advance.In contrast,33%of Europeans planning a City Break and 32%of those taking a Culture&Heritage trip have not yet booked,and
19、campaigns for these segments could be launched at a later stage.Responding to Europeans economic concerns and the interest in destinations with lower costs of living,businesses in more affordable destinations should highlight both their attractive pricing and the overall low cost of travelling in th
20、eir region.This is especially important when targeting households of average or below-average income.WAVE 19 Reading the dataReading the dataData collection periodsAnalysed samplesTotal respondents:5,955Respondents most likely to travel in the next six months:4,508Respondents planning to travel inte
