Report from YouGov finds travel for leisure to see greater bounceback than business travel

It concludes firstly that tourism will bounce back at home, and that it “could provide the springboard to a rebuilding of international travel and give companies opportunities to tap into local markets”, as well as that leisure travel will recover before business travel does so – largely due to people still feeling more confident relying on video calling.

The whitepaper also shows that generational differences matter in how people will travel in the near future. 

Generation Z are probably the least at-risk group but don’t have the disposable income, while the older generation have the financial means but more risk and concerns surrounding their health. Therefore it’s Millennials and Generation X which will be the most willing and able to start travelling once again.

The research, looking at the world’s favourite destinations post-pandemic, finds that 41% of German consumers are intending to travel internationally – dropping to 28% of people in the UK, and as low as 5% in Japan.
