Over half of European travellers planning two summer trips, a quarter looking for flying alternatives

According to the European Travel Commission’s (ETC) latest report, ‘Monitoring Sentiment for Intra-European Travel’, shows that 75% of Europeans surveyed say they will travel between May and October 2024, up 3% compared to the same period last year. 37% of people who responded to the survey say they intend to embark on a single trip, and, despite growing concerns over cost of living, 57% are gearing up for two or more getaways during this period. Miguel Sanz, president of ETC, said: “It is very positive to see Europeans maintaining their desire to travel despite the ongoing geopolitical and economic circumstances.”
