According to a recent survey conducted by Benchmark, more than 1/3 of the French population are thinking of travelling outisde France this coming summer. In real, there might from 25% to 28% of them travelling abroad between June and September 2010. They were only 20% last year.
They are willing to travel to further destinations and to spend more than last year. Should they nd lee on restaurants, souvenirs or even accomodation, they still want to deeply enjoy their vacation. The length of their vacation should increase from 15 to 16 days.
Another interesting point: more than 1/3 of them already booked thier holidays in January (+4 points compared to last year).
Spring has arrived with some optimistic figures for the tourism indusry!
