Vacationers: spending more on holiday travel
Vacationers spend more on holiday travel than on their leisure travel at any other time of the year, according to a wide majority of travel agents surveyed in a recent Travel Guard Pulse Poll.
Of the travel agents surveyed, more than one-third said their clients spend “five to 10 percent” more on holiday travel versus travel at other times. Almost one third of the agents said clients spend “20 percent or more” in additional expenditures for holiday travel compared with vacations at other times in the year.
”The recent survey also reveals that many travelers have strong personal motivation for holiday travel, even as the nation battles recessionary times,” the survey found.
For example, a majority of clients (28 percent) listed “visiting relatives” as their primary motivation for holiday travel, while the next-largest group (27 percent) cited their need to “escape the stress and hassle of the holidays.”
Finally, another significant group (20 percent) eyed holiday travel as a means to “escape the cold weather.”
