Travelers want more value on vacation
According to a recent Tripadvisor study, nearly three-quarters (74%) of vaccinated US travelers plan on taking a summer vacation this year. While more than half (52%) expect to travel in Germany, almost a quarter (22%) expect to be abroad.
The same travelers want to enhance their travel experiences and maximize the value of their trip. However, “value” can mean something different to each traveler. We all care about saving money, but saving money when traveling is not about keeping cash in your bank account; it’s about spending where it matters. It’s not about the lowest price or the biggest discount; It’s all about the best value on your terms.
“As a company, we’ve always believed that travel was the best in us, and if the past 15 months have taught us anything, we need it more than ever. That’s why we created Tripadvisor Plus – a program that members helps promote better travelers by saving money so they can get more out of every trip they take. More experiences, more memories, more trips, more human connection, “said Lindsay Nelson, Chief Experience and Brand Officer for Tripadvisor. “Tripadvisor Plus is available to you by unlocking the options so you can save more to spend more on what you’ve been missing, be it for a short weekend or a postponed honeymoon.”
