2022 Will be the Year of Purpose-Driven Travel
Sustainability and Responsibility are Key Booking Factors - People around the world are growing increasingly conscious of the environmental impacts of travel, and many will keep this in mind when booking their next trips. Our research found that nearly two-thirds (59%) of travelers are willing to pay more fees to make a trip sustainable, and nearly half (49%) will choose a less crowded destination to lessen the impacts of overtourism."
