[{"type":"text","content":"NEEDHAM, Mass., May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripadvisor®, the world's largest travel guidance platform, releases its latest Seasonal Travel Index, providing an outlook for global travel patterns and demand over the next three months. The Index includes top takeaways for the upcoming season, along with country-specific Tripadvisor demand data and insights from its latest traveler sentiment survey.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nSeasonal Travel Takeaways\nThe majority of travelers are planning summer tripsWith summer round the corner in the northern hemisphere, the next three months look set to be an extremely busy period for global travel, with over three-quarters of those surveyed (78%) planning leisure trips between June and August. The vast majority of these travelers (95%) plan to travel the same amount (42%) or more (53%) compared to last year. Of the markets surveyed, Singapore has the most active traveler community, with 84% planning a trip between June and August, while just two-thirds of Japanese travelers will take leisure trips during the same period.Most will spend more than they did last yearOver half of those surveyed (55%) will spend more on travel in the next few months compared to the same period last year, while around a third (37%) expect to spend about the same amount. Just 7% plan to spend less, despite a challenging economic outlook for many markets. Indeed, just 2 in 5 travelers surveyed (41%) said macroeconomic factors will change how they travel over the next three months, with two-thirds of these (65%) citing higher living costs, due to inflation, as the reason. Around two-fifths (41%) will travel for shorter periods, while a third (31%) will take fewer trips.City-breaks remain popularWhile beach destinations feature prominently in the list of top leisure trip destinations, it's the world's major cities that will continue to dominate travel demand between June and August.
