Travelocity’s latest Travel Confidence Report, which pits travellers’ present travel plans and inclinations against the trend that existed six months and a year back, bring to light a striking rise in traveller enthusiasm.
The report suggests that 49% travellers intend to ‘travel more’ in 2010 as compared to 21% six months back and 10% in 2009. The number of travellers planning to reduce their travel volumes was down to 7%. Around 44% travellers were content with their travel volumes and wished not to change it in 2010.
Reduced hotel charges also seem to have affected travel plans positively. Eighteen percent of the respondents opined that they would stretch their holidays, 30% expressed a desire to take an unplanned trip and 33% revealed their intentions of staying at a plush star-rated hotel.
Around 56% of the respondents divulged that they did not have on hand a prefixed travel budget for the year. Of these, around 34% were keen on boosting their travel budget. Around 76% hinted that they might book a vacation package, as it was more economical.
The findings were based on a survey of over 2,000 North Americans.
