The coronavirus pandemic and the current economic situation have made significant changes in the mentality of German tourists. Spontaneous “last minute” travel may soon take the place of “ordung” and early booking. Last but not least – for reasons of economy. These are the results of a survey conducted by Skyscanner and One Poll among a sample of 1,000 German tourists. The data turned out to be interesting.
Thus, 35% of respondents stated that they do not immediately choose a specific destination when planning a trip. Another 42% said they were flexible in choosing the place and time of the trip. In general, most potential Skyscanner tourists in Germany searched by entering “alle orte” (“everywhere”) instead of looking for a specific destination.
This means that in this way German tourists can see more affordable travel options. Namely, 51% of respondents named the price factor as determining. Other “pandemic” trends are also important, especially flexible travel cancellation conditions. However, the vast majority are not ready to give up a holiday abroad, 88% intend to go on holiday abroad, and 61% said that this opportunity has become “more important to them than before.”
