Two thirds of the Austrians plan summer vacation despite price pressure!
Around two thirds of the Austrian population aged 16 and over have already specific vacation plans for the summer of 2025. These figures result from a survey by the OGM opinion research institute, which surveyed 1,015 people and thus draws a precise picture of travel behavior in Austria. According to krone.at , younger and older generations report above all of their travel intentions and the associated financial planning.
It is particularly noticeable that despite economic uncertainties and increasing living costs, a third of the respondents do not want to save on vacation. In addition to the expenses for the trip itself, many vacationers are considering shortening the length of stay: 23 percent plan a few days, while 22 percent want to reduce their expenses on site. This applies particularly to the age group 35 to 59 years, which often travels with children.financing and budget
The financial organization of the vacation is a challenge for many. According to the results of the Santander Finance barometer, finance 70 percent of the respondents largely their summer vacation with the ongoing income. This also includes the 13th salary, which is usually used for vacation activities. Around 28 percent use their savings, while 13 percent received the financial support of relatives under 34 years. In contrast, only 3 percent take out a loan to realize the vacation plans.
The per capita budget for summer vacation is 1,200 euros, according to the ÖAMTC travel monitor. For many, this sum is an important basis that can take into account both domestic and foreign trips. Popular holiday countries are traditionally Austria, Italy and Croatia, with the preferred travel destinations within Austria's Carinthia, Styria and Lower Austria.
travel behavior and trends
The current survey also shows that 17 percent think of the Austrian about foregoing a summer vacation this year. This is an indicator of the increasing financial considerations in society. The survey on the travel behavior in Austria, as can be found on the website of statistics.at , also includes the profile of travelers and non-travelers as well as the expenses for trips inside and outside the country.
The analysis of this data is essential for the economic assessment of the tourism sector, since it serves the political decision -makers in order to develop suitable strategies to promote tourism. Many Austrians are ready to reduce their leisure expenses in order to enable a summer trip and thus increase their own well-being.
