What is the sentiment of Europeans when it comes to travelling in 2021? The European Travel Commission has published the latest report “Monitoring Sentiment for Domestic and Intra-European Travel – Wave 6“, which provides interesting insights:

• 56% of Europeans feel positive about the perspective to travel this summer, and declare they will go on holiday by August 2021.
• Of them, 49% wish to visit another European country.
• 34% of early bird travelers declare they will prefer holidays by the sea and 15% will choose the outdoors & nature for their trips.
• The travel restrictions and the potential limitations on activities available at the destinations raise concerns among the travelers.

With vaccines becoming available in many countries, experts from the travel sector predict that the coming months and years will see the rise of the so-called “revenge travel”.
After so many months at home, experiencing curfew, lockdowns and other limitations, people will be impatient to travel again.
This will probably result in a sudden boom in travel bookings: the challenge will be to reshape tourism offers in a way that does not harm the heritage, the environment and the resident communities.
