Our qualitative research goes beyond quantitative stats and surveys that can go out of date quickly, to provide richer, more reliable insights into the future of travel.

EXCERPT: Try-Again Trips

"For many of these travellers, the first priority is to finally fulfil their thwarted 2020 travel plans. Whether it’s a cancelled holiday to visit family on the other side of the world or a carefully planned trip of a lifetime that never materialised, Try Again Trips are going to be a common trend for the near future.

"The problem is, rather than bringing in much-needed fresh revenue, a significant proportion of second (or even third) attempt getaways will be funded by vouchers, or rescheduled from before. This could potentially further stall the economic recovery of the travel industry.

"John Strickland, owner of airline consultancy JLS Consulting, says: 'If you think about peak demand – people travelling for their summer holidays to Mediterranean beach resorts, for example – if you had everybody using their vouchers for destinations like that next summer, that would be really adverse from an airline point of view.'"

TESTIMONIAL:

"With the world changing at such a fast pace, and the travel industry as unpredictable as it's ever been, it's easy to be blinkered and bogged down by the here and now. The 2021 Travel Trend Forecast by Globetrender provides clarity and considered insight. It encourages us, as creatives and advisors, to reflect during these trying times in our industry. The forecast assists us in taking stock of how much has changed, so that we can plan for future developments and adapt efficiently." Sarah Richards, Sadler&Co
