This study opens up fascinating insights into the travel behavior of the different generations: from the "baby boomers" to "Generation Z". Europe remains the preferred holiday destination, with most respondents from Austria, Italy, Croatia and Germany made their trips. According to this study, reported Dertour , 10% of the respondents have even gone on long-distance trips in the past twelve months, mainly towards the USA and Thailand.

The popular travel week comprises an average of six days, whereby there are significant differences between short trips in Europe and longer long -distance travel. While the "Baby Boomer" explore the world thanks to the financial scope, "Generation X" and "Millennials" are fighting with time management, which produces many new travel trends such as "Workation". In addition, the study shows that price sensitivity plays a crucial role in vacation bookings, with 71% of those surveyed pay attention to cheap prices. According to the inclinations of younger generations, sustainable trips also play an important role, especially for the "generation Z", as the examination emphasizes, while this grouping is more environmentally conscious than its predecessors.
