1、WAVE 14|02/23MONITORING SENTIMENT FOR DOMESTIC AND INTRA-EUROPEAN TRAVELWAVE 14RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS21The data collection and research methodology are detailed in the methodological annex(slide 42)This report monitors sentiment and short-term intentions for domestic and intra-European travel and is th

2、e 14thwave of a market research1initiated in September 2020.Results are based on data collected in December 2022from Europeans in 10 high-volume source markets.77%of Europeans plan to travel between January-June 2023,representing a 16%surge over thesame period last year.Furthermore,58%of respondents

3、 intend to take multiple trips in the next 6 months(+6%over the previous wave in September 2022).Visiting another European country is the preferred choice for 63%of Europeans(+13%compared to ayear ago):35%plan to visit a neighbouring destination,and 28%will travel to a non-neighbouring one.Interest

4、in domestic tourism dropped to its lowest level(25%)since August 2020.Sun&Beach is once again Europeans preferred type of leisure trip(17%),followed by City Breaks(16%)and Culture&Heritage(15%).Enjoying natural landscapes(19%),tasting the local cuisine(17%)andimmersing in the local culture(15%)are n

5、ow travellers most sought-after experiences.3WAVE 14RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS72%of Europeans will travel for leisure purposes,15%will visit friends or relatives,7%will attend an event,and5%will take a business trip.The top three criteria for choosing the next travel destination are pleasant weather(18%),t

6、ravel bargains anddeals(17%)and friendly locals(12%).For travellers aged 25-44,attractive offers are the most important decisionfactor.Only 6%of respondents consider destinations actions to preserve natural and cultural heritage as a primarychoice factor.The number of travellers planning to fly to t

7、heir destination(54%)is the highest since 2020 and up 10%from thesame period in 2021.29%of Europeans plan to drive their car,and another 10%will take the train for their next trip.44%of Europeans have fully/partly booked their upcoming trip,a 7%year-on-year increase.Among examinedmarkets,the Austria

8、ns(27%)and the British(25%)have fully booked to a higher extent,along with the Dutch and theBelgians(24%each).Despite current economic concerns,Europeans will spend similar time and budget on holidays,as per one yearago:39%are planning trips of 4-6 nights(+6%compared to a year ago),while 500-1,500 e

9、uros is still the mostcommon allocated budget(29%).WAVE 14RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS423%of Europeans mention increased trip costs,and 18%their personalfinances as a major travel concern.On the positive side,59%of Europeans plan to spend the same budget onholidays as they would normally do,demonstrating a s

10、trong resiliencecompared to other spending categories.For instance,around 40%ofrespondents intend to reduce their budget for retail shopping(clothes,electronics,etc.),leisure activities,sport and self care.While travel desire remains strong,Europeans are adapting their in-destinationbehaviour due to

11、 increased costs:18%will reduce their shopping activities,16%will select cheaper accommodation and 15%will be settling for lessexpensive restaurants/self-catering.Affordable all-inclusive packages(12%)and fewer activities with admission fees are also considered(10%).Concerns over the war in Ukraine(

12、11%)increase slightly compared toSeptember 2022,causing 31%of respondents to make changes to theirnext trip(+5%).WAVE 14RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESTINATIONS580%of Europeans over the age of 55 plan to travel by June 2023;destinations can attract this segmentby addressing their interest for culture&herita

13、ge attractions(38%),and outdoor experiences toexplore the natural landscape(19%),and by promoting travel itineraries for trips longer than 7nights(50%).Considering the importance of bargains and deals in choosing a destination,DMOs can bring localbusinesses together to create affordable travel packa

14、ges,promote free-entrance attractions and theinexpensive accommodations and eateries at the destination.Friendly and welcoming locals are now the 3rdmost important factor in choosing a destination.Thus,DMOscould promote the human aspects of the destination(e.g.,by involving locals in campaigns)andcr

15、eate local experiences that allow travellers to engage with residents.As the preference for air travel grows(+10%compared to a year ago),CO2 emissions increase accordingly.To support the sector in its critical journey to reduce carbon emissions,destinations are encouraged topromote train travel furt

16、her and create holiday packages based on train transportation,which arecurrently favoured by only 10%of European travellers.WAVE 14RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BUSINESSES658%of Europeans have either partly booked their next trip or have chosen a destination but have not yetbooked.To encourage these consumers

17、 to take a step further and complete their booking,businesses couldemploy re-marketing and lead-nurturing tactics to re-engage with audiences who have already interactedwith the brand,(e.g.,by displaying ads to prospective customers who visited a site without checking out).32%of Europeans planning t

18、o travel in May-June have already fully/partially booked their trip.In response tothe high level of interest in travel bargains and deals and in order to capitalise on this momentum,businessescan promote affordable packages for this period and reward early-bookers.As Europeans consider less expensiv

19、e accommodation,hotels can offer room-only stays,cheaperaccommodation that excludes hotel amenities and daily housekeeping,and discounts for bookingmultiple nights.They can also offer all-inclusive packages that allow visitors to have better control overtheir spending.32%of Europeans over the age of

20、 55 plan a domestic trip by June 2023,and businesses targeting localtravellers can promote culture and heritage attractions(38%)and experiences that focus on enjoyingnature(19%),tasting the local cuisine(18%)and exploring the local culture(17%)-the preferredactivities of this age group.CONTENTS01.02
