Trip planners rate terrorism far more important than gas prices
Travelers’ concerns about terrorism far outweigh another recent issue: rising gas prices.
Sixty-one percent of travelers consider the threat of terrorism an important factor when choosing where to go on their vacations.
But only 25% of travelers consider the cost of fuel important in making that decision, according to TripAdvisor’s annual travel trend survey.
Other findings:
- More travelers than ever want to head for the beach, with 59% planning that vacation compared to 52% last year.
- Travelers continue to break their banks. Eighty-six percent said budget was an important consideration when making travel plans, but 46% said they went beyond what they wanted to spend.
- Shopping remains popular for travelers. Sixty-four percent of travelers report bringing along an additional piece of luggage to pack items purchased while on vacation.
