Repeat travel remains popular

Tuesday, 23 Jan, 2006 0

More than 60% of Americans take at least one annual vacation and the majority of travelers go to the same exact spot each year, according to Travelocity.

Their annual forecasting poll of consumer travel patterns and behavior found Americans are “true creatures of habit.” Other findings:

  • Half of all business travelers include a leisure component in their business trips.

  • More than two-third of business travelers plan to bring spouses or children on these combined trips.

  • At least one in four travelers go for a special occasion such as a birthday.

  • Airline itineraries and direct flights are the greatest influences on travelers airline choices.

  • Flyers are reluctant to pay more than a $50 premium for a direct flight.

  • One out of every three respondents felt gas prices affected their road trips in 2005 and will affect them this year as well.

  • Most travelers showed a higher interest in international travel. Popular destinations included the Caribbean, Western Europe, Central and South America, Eastern Europe and Russia, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
