World of Luxury Travel Study: Phocuswright

Sponsor pivotal research to elevate your industry standing

The Phocuswright Q3 2025 edition of the U.S. Consumer Traveler Report will deploy in July, continuing our established quarterly survey cadence. The survey will be conducted among 1,500 U.S. adults who having taken at least one overnight leisure trip in the past 12 months of at least 75 miles from home.

A major focus of this wave will be an in-depth analysis of the luxury traveler persona. As part of this effort, we will publish a new output segment specifically highlighting this high-spending cohort, identified as travelers who spent $1,500 or more per person, per day on a leisure trip in the past 12 months.

Key research questions the research will address:

Who are these luxury travelers?
What resources do they use to research, plan, and book their trips and their motivations for the choices?
How do their trips differ from the larger traveling population?
