Travel demand is far from declining. However, there are indicators that our wanderlust is evolving from insatiable to more typical.
Travel trends: Revenge travel is losing its appeal as our wanderlust shifts from never-ending to a normal pattern
A charm of revenge travel trend: The phenomenon is gradually fading away. It is now harder to fill planes as people have become exhausted from constantly booking last-minute flights due to the pandemic, bristling at high fares after previously price-slashing protests throughout the world, burned out as they spend much of their time in airports, and affected by inflation that has hit incomes.
Next few months Airlines and travel companies will have higher pressure to sell their remaining inventory of available seats and hotel space. If the demand for the service is healthy then they will have an option of selling the remaining capacity at a premium. Thus consumers wait, yet they will be left with no option than to demand for a discount-a scenario that has not been seen in the past three years.
In Europe, for instance, many people who prided themselves with their selected vacation visiting dates in January could only plan themselves to get to their preferred destinations, hotels, and specifically the room of their choice. However, in the recent past few months, some consumers meaning specifically those that belong to the more frugal buying group of the population have been waiting for their own positions, not to mention holiday prices, to improve.
According to one of the world’s largest Tourism investors, TUI AG has released reports revealing that it has sold approximately 60% of all the vacation offers it has on offer this summer. That’s pretty similar to last year but still a whole lot of sexy sunny breaks to make to move in a rather volatile world out there.
The European travellers are also shopping around with an intention of choosing their respective destinations of their choice. Thomas Cook, which is now an online-based travel company, reported that this year, sales to the Spanish destinations of Balearic and Canary islands have remained constant. This relects cost — there are more stores that offer better value in terms of price in Turkey, mainland Spain and Egypt — regions with increased sales volume. Yet some sectors could also be contributing to itself, such as anti-tourism demonstrations in the Canary and Balearic islands.
