WHEN THE WORLD OPENS

ONE IN FIVE RESPONDENTS TO THE IHG survey said they planned to make up for the lack of travel in 2020 by going on more trips than they would typically take, when it is safe to do so.

One in five people overall said they hoped to travel to a place on their bucket list in 2021, with that being true for one in three travellers aged 18 to 24.

The 18 to 24 age group was also five times more likely to say that volunteering for a community in need was a primary motivator for travel.

One in three surveyed said going to restaurants and trying new foods had the most positive impact on their holidays.

More than a third of all those surveyed, including 50 per cent of those 55 and older, said they would start to travel again when the COVID-19 vaccine was easily and widely available.
