Tourism trends 2021

According to a new global study by hotels.com, spontaneity, a desire for pampering and flexibility will characterize travel this year.

38% of respondents reveal that they would say “yes” to last minute travel, 30% say they would also travel long-haul for only a few days, while only 20% say they would be unwilling to book a spontaneous holiday. Still, 20% of respondents are ready for a luxury experience and will book a five-star hotel for an escape in 2021. As opposed to before the start of the pandemic, 29% of people would book a better hotel room and almost a third would say spontaneously yes to a room upgrade if offered at the time of booking (27%). The detention imposed in 2020 has made everyone want to “seize every opportunity”. Among the requests received by popular hotels are the Spa (38%), rooms with a view (35%), restaurants and bar (30%) but above all, peace and tranquility (52%). Respondents in the report want to be carefree and relaxed by making spontaneous decisions (28%), not having to plan and just doing what they want (18%) and saying “yes” to new experiences (30%).
