Travel means different things for different people. For some, it is a dream trip around the world, while for others, it is a car trip to visit the family. But anyway, the report after the report shows that the travel industry remains robust regardless of how the economy becomes.
The only important fall in the annual number of trips and the expense that will take place in the last two decades was the result of the border restrictions promulgated during the COVID-19 2020 outbreak, a fall that caused a prolonged rebound that still feels five years after.

Drive against flying; Stay with friends in front of staying in a hotel
This week, the Deloitte consulting giant published the results of its annual travel perspective survey for next year. The numbers show that the average travel between the 4,000 American adults surveyed was 2.14 trips during the last vacation season, an increase of almost 14% of the 1.88 observed in 2023.
“What we are seeing is that the demand for travel is strong,” said Eileen Crowley, a partner who led the transport and hospitality branches of Deloitte, to Thestreet. “But if travelers do not feel so well with their financial position and their affordability, they are making adjustments. Many times they could mean driving instead of flying or staying with friends instead of staying in a hotel.”

The report shows that travelers of generation Z, classified as those born between 1997 and 2022, are the ones that make the largest amount of adjustments to their trip for reasons that have to do with affordability: in 2025, 26% of the Respondents plan to drive instead of flying their destination, while additional 25% expect to avoid high hotels prices when staying with family or friends.
Another common money savings strategy is to reserve flights with a longer transfer to avoid paying the convenience of a direct route.

As people age and, according to the averages, richer, often prioritize other things, such as access to the hall. People born between 1946 and 1964 prioritized access to the hall compared to 18% of the general population.
Another change observed since last year is the largest number of people who make longer trips but also work while they are out, while 25% of those that Deloitte surveyed in 2023 said that his longest trip of the year would take more than seven Days, that number increased 33% in 2024.

This is, in large part, enabled by the increase in remote work and the ability to take longer trips without taking time free; The perspective also shows that 54% of millennials plan to do a job during their 2025 longer trip while that number falls 44% for generation Z and 31% for boomers.
Despite the fall that occurs in proportion with the age of one, the number of people who bring work on their vacation and, as a result, the longest trips increased for each of those age supports compared to the same group in The last years.
“The term portable portable carriers was coined for the first time during the pandemic,” Crowley continued. “This type of traveler will spend more, they will make longer trips and it is only a great taxpayer to the demand for travel that we see in 2025.”
