European Consumer Travel Report Sixth Edition

Summary

Travel plays a significant role in European culture. Even in the face of a weakening currency, consumers are relentless with their travel plans and more adults are packing their bags than ever before. Travelers are cutting back where they can, meaning fewer trips and packaged holidays. However, they are holding out for long, international excursions to new destinations. Together, France, Germany and the U.K. comprise approximately 60 % of the total European travel market, or €158 billion in gross bookings in 2015.
