- ‘Experiential’ definition includes activities such as Wellness, Active & Lifestyle, Nature & Food and Cuisine.
GRAPH: EXPERIENTIAL VS CONVENTIONAL The activities that have picked up the most during these years reaching unprecedented levels of interest are Active & Lifestyle, Nature and Wellness. Regarding the two first ones, the data shows a clear inflection point from 2021, corroborating the effects of the pandemic in this type of motivations to travel. Wellbeing has also seen stable growth since 2019.
GRAPH: Global evolution of Tourist Interests: lines graph On the other hand, conventional activities that have lost most of their importance are Arts & Culture and Sunbathing, which now represent only 34% of travel motivations, losing 7 percentual points since 2019.
GRAPH: Global evolution of Tourist Interests: bars Carlos Cendra, Chief Marketing and Communication Officer at Mabrian comments: “the way we travel is constantly switching. From the traditional holidays of sunbathing in coastal destinations and culture and shopping in the cities, to disconnecting and discovering experiences where the connection with the environment and ourselves is key. There’s an obvious impact of the pandemic and the effect of being locked down that made us realise how important it is to enjoy the outdoors and feel well and healthy during our free time which has stuck in travellers’ motivations”. Mabrian highlights that it is essential for destinations and tourism companies to detect new global trends among travellers in an agile manner, while working to offer a tourism product that is as diversified as possible and in line with new trends. High dependence on specific tourism products causes inefficiencies related to high dependence on certain source markets and high seasonality patterns. These factors are of great importance when it comes to promoting the sustainability of the destination.

Europe could reduce CO2 by 1 million tonnes switching domestic flights to railTravel Intelligence firm Mabrian Technologies has crunched the numbers in the big plane vs train ...Read moreEurope could reduce CO2 by 1 million tonnes switching domestic flights to rail - News & announcementsTravel Intelligence firm Mabrian Technologies has crunched the numbers in the big plane vs train debate. It carried out a study on the potential impact of replacing domestic flights of less than two and a half hours up to a maximum of 500 km, with high-speed trains. The study analyses the savings in CO2 emissions if it became a requirement across Europe. This has already started to be implemented in France. The report found there are 554 domestic flight routes in Europe which would qualify. In 2023, they will carry around 44 million passengers and produce around 2.3 million tonnes of CO2. If they shifted to high-speed trains it could reduce the environmental impact by an average of 48%. This would translate into a saving of more than one million tonnes of CO2 in just one year. This is equivalent to more than 200,000 cars running continuously for 12 months, Mabrian says. For a comparative calculation, Mabrian has looked at the type of electrical energy and its sources, which power the railway system in each European country. It followed the methodology published by the EcoPassenger report. This sets out an ambitious transition towards sustainable mobility, involving the adoption of clean and green technologies. Some countries are further advanced in this than others. Germany, for example, has invested in modernising its rail infrastructure and adopting cleaner technologies. Sweden has been a leader in the use of renewable energy sources such as hydropower and wind power in rail transport. The study reveals five European countries that would achieve the greatest CO2 savings if this transition were to take place. Top is Spain, with a potential saving of 360,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. Then it is Germany, France Italy and Sweden. The analysis has focused only on domestic air routes within each country. So, potential savings would be much greater if all air routes of 500km or less were also considered. Still, to meet the requirements, the cost of upgrading rail infrastructures would require significant investment. Some countries may not have the resources to finance it. Carlos Cendra, Marketing Director at Mabrian, said: "While this analysis may seem unrealistic, we believe in demonstrating the efficiency of decisions through data.” With this analysis, we have quantified the potential savings from taking steps in that direction.” -

It found European hotel rates are on the rise across most categories and destinations, eclipsing inflation. In general terms, Barcelona, Brussels, and Rome are the destinations with the highest increase in hotel rates. These ranged from 30% to 33% on average. Meanwhile, Ljubljana, Madrid, and Tirana saw the lowest Europe hotel price increases. Mabrian also notes that Barcelona is the city where prices have increased the most compared to Easter 2022, with a 43% increase for three-star hotels. In four-star hotels, the highest price growth is in Brussels, with a 34% increase. Mabrian cites Zagreb, Warsaw, and Tirana as the most competitively priced destinations for all three categories of hotels over Easter. Carlos Cendra, Director of Marketing & Sales at Mabrian, said: "While hotel prices are rising sharply, we must look at this rise in the context of inflation” “In addition, we have to account for the increase in staff operating costs.” “All this is combined with a strong demand for travel, which pushes prices up." -

Could climate change mean that winter becomes the new summer in travel? – Mabrian TechnologiesWhen it comes to climate change the travel industry needs to change its approach ...Read moreCould climate change mean that winter becomes the new summer in travel? – Mabrian Technologies - News & announcementsWhen it comes to climate change the travel industry needs to change its approach to ‘summer holidays’ if it doesn’t want to get caught out in the cold ‘Winter is coming’ is the Stark family’s moto in Game of Thrones and in the travel industry this might be the case when it comes to ‘summer holidays’ due to climate change. This year saw heat records broken in most of the main European summer tourism destinations, in some cases by quite significant margins, and climate experts are predicting that many places popular with tourists soon will be scorching hot every summer. What does this mean for a tourism industry largely based around summer peak season visitors? Could winter become the new summer or will tourists start visiting new destinations where the climate is more bearable? We spoke with six experts to find out more. Carlos Cendra, Sales and Marketing Director at travel intelligence provider Mabrian says: “If anyone thinks that hotter weather is good news for beach traditional beach destinations then they should think again. During this summer’s heat wave in Europe we saw a clear drop in visitor satisfaction levels during the hottest weeks. The weather is one of the most important contextual factors for the tourism industry. Hundreds of vacational destinations in the Mediterranean and North Africa have traditionally based their tourism development on favorable weather conditions. Now this is changing, and faster than we thought. This is probably going to change global travel trends within the next years, so we’d better analyze the effects of this on the expectations and preferences of travellers.” Matthew Chapman, CTO of travel booking technology provider Vibe comments: “Online travel agents and other digital points of sale for travel should consider adding a filter that lets people search by average temperatures for the dates they are looking. Likewise hotels, experiences providers, perhaps even airlines and airports should all start considering populating their content with information about air conditioning, shaded areas, and so on – and make that content searchable and filterable in the booking process. More and more people will be concerned by such details at the search and booking stage.” Alex Barros, Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer from Beonprice, the revenue management & total profitabilty platform for for the hospitality sector, adds: “From a revenue management perspective for hoteliers this is a potentially enormous change as pricing for leisure travel has all been defined by the same summer peak season approach since the beginning of mass tourism in the 1960s. More research will be needed around how temperatures impact consumer demand. What is the ideal temperature for maximum pricing? Is it impacted by temporary volatility in temperatures, or just long-term averages? All of this will of course impact how hoteliers approach building and opening new properties too, not just location but temperature-controlled buildings and communal areas.” Fabián Gonzalez, Co-Founder of Forward_MAD, a luxury tourism event taking place in Madrid from 5th to 7th October, says: “Luxury hotels and resorts, and luxury experiences generally, are better positioned to adapt to the challenges of climate change as they have the resources to invest in what is needed – better climate controlled buildings, air conditioned transfers, and so on – and have more demanding clients in terms of sustainability expectations, who are prepared to pay for this. Contrast that with mass-market tourism providers with low-margins where such costs would be the difference between profit and loss. Additionally a shift towards tourists spreading their holidays out throughout the whole year, adapting to ‘wintering’ rather than ‘summering’, could suit many boutique and smaller luxury hotels with only a limited number of rooms – allowing them to fill them up in the normally quieter months. Not least as high spending travellers normally are more flexible in terms of vacation dates anyway.” Bruno Martins, Senior Product Manager from the global hospitality technology provider Shiji Group comments: “Hotels and resorts in hotter locations will have to re-think their outdoor relaxation areas, perhaps putting an end to ‘outside’ pools or at the very least placing some kind of cover over the top – and making them more nighttime friendly too, including lifeguard services, or perhaps even charging for peak hours. Equally the spa centres should be rethought, positioning them more as a place to go and cool down – with less saunas and more ice baths. Golf courses are a popular draw for hot locations and they too will be impacted, quite heavily in fact as you can’t cover a whole golf course with screens and more watering will be required at a time when water becomes more scarce. Again nighttime, or at least early morning, tee-offs will be in greater demand. Technology is going to be the golden-thread throughout all of these changes, whether that be via apps that allow guests to schedule better those precious cool moments, pricing software that maximizes revenues based on temperature, or electronic wrist bands that allow guests access (or not!) to certain locations at certain times based on demand. Basically hotels can already start optimizing revenue for the activities based on time of day, where demand will increase and improve revenue management of rates.” Janis Dzenis, Director of PR for the recently launched flight price comparison website WayAway also says: “For many US travellers going to Europe, summer is still all about the Mediterranean region and that might take a long while to change no matter how hot it becomes. Especially keeping in mind that for many US visitors to Europe this is a one-off, special trip – they aren’t basing their choice on previous experiences, but on what they saw in a movie or a friend told them. Any reality will take time to filter through. However in the short term all this recent hot weather around the world is driving eco-consciousness amongst travellers. So they´ll want to know what destinations and hotels are doing to fight this and those that don’t have a convincing answer will gradually lose out. This will also drive more demand for travellers to offset their carbon footprint too and this is a service we offer to our WayAway Plus subscribers, one that is proving very popular.” -

- The large European capitals drop positions due to their high hotel prices and due to a low value placed by visitors on the tourist offer in the destinations
- The study analyzes air connectivity, the average hotel price, and the levels of satisfaction and perception of visitors
- The destination that offered the best value for money during the month of June was Zagreb, located in northwestern Croatia. Despite being among the last in terms of air connectivity, it has a very high level of satisfaction in most of the areas analyzed. At the same time, it offers a very competitive accommodation price compared to the other destinations analyzed.
- In second position was Athens, which is better connected than Zagreb but with a slightly higher average price and lower satisfaction levels than Zagreb.
- Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is one of the destinations analyzed with the most competitive hotel prices and high levels of satisfaction. However, it remains in third position because its air connectivity is limited.
- Dubrovnik, also in Croatia, is the destination with the highest satisfaction levels among the analyzed destinations. However, the average hotel price is high and air connectivity is limited, which places it in ninth position.
