Tourism Trends v Cheap airway transport is getting stronger. v The importance of internet in deciding on travel destinations and making reservations is on the rise. v 41% of 308 million travelers (123 million people) who have access to the internet decide on their destinations and buy holidays online. v Those who decide on their destinations online but make reservations in a different way are 81 million people. (27%)
Tourism Trends v It is predicted that culture tourism will have grown much bigger than international tourism by 2020. v Special interest destinations are slowly replacing mass tourism. v Tourists take environmental, cultural, ethnic and historical characteristics of the destinations more into consideration. v Responsible tourism, a tourism trend in which tourists become a part of local life and respect for the people and environment of the country they travel, is improving.
Tourism Trends v A higher number of consumers show cultural activities among their top five reasons to travel. v As a result of global warming, there will be climate change and tourism will be affected. v As Europe’s population is getting older, tourism types like health tourism and ecotourism is gaining importance. v Youth tourism has an ever-increasing importance in world tourism market. It is predicted that 20% of tourism movements will be due to youth tourism.
The New Tourist v sees internet as the prior source of getting information and making reservations before taking decision, v prefers low-cost airline companies, v makes his/her own organization, v travels more but for shorter term, v makes his/her decision later than usual,
The New Tourist v has a higher brand awareness, v is always in interaction with his/her surroundings for the best decision, v does not prefer package tours but special interest destinations, v is more sensitive to the environment, v wonders different cultures and activities.
The Reflections of the Global Economic Crisis on World Tourism v Increase in travels to closer destinations and domestic travels, v Decrease in visiting friends and relatives and repeating trips, v More decrease in business travels than holiday and leisure travels, v Decrease in overnight stays and expenditure, v Exchange rates are also important in choosing the destination,
The Reflections of the Global Economic Crisis on World Tourism v Stronger cooperation is needed amongst all actors of tourism, v Local organizations are gaining importance, v Product-planning is important, v More interest in faith and culture tourism, v Growth in camping and youth tourism, v Increase in the number of environment-friendly hotels.
