Geek out now on fascinating trends uncovered by Destination Analysts in “The State of the American Traveler™” quarterly published reports since 2006. Crafted for DMOs, the research explores opinions, motivations, behaviors, perceptions, sentiments, and technology usage by today’s American travelers.
Who knew that travelers…
- Took a trip specifically to get away from a spouse or partner = 46.5%
- Met a new romantic partner on a trip = 21.0%
- Visited a marijuana dispensary = 15.8%
The Travel Vertical sat down with Erin Francis-Cummings, President and CEO of Destination Analysts who shared several more insights about what we might expect to see in 2019 and beyond:
- Growing popularity of bleisure travel
- Continuing rise of food and dining as a motivator for travel
- Improvements in the mobile travel booking experience resulting in its increased use
- And, influencers are “not going to go away and they’re huge in China.”
-> And a webinar invitation:
