The Destination Decision: Where They Go and Why They Go There

For years, Phocuswright has explored how travelers search, shop and buy travel and tracked the online travel planning curve. But what is driving the most important decision in the travel cycle: "Where should I go?"

A new study from Phocuswright for 2018 will deliver essential insights on the "destination decision" by travelers from seven of the world's largest source markets:

The research will cover demographics, traveler behavior, trip type – purpose – motivation, source markets, destination and more.

Near-record-level consumer confidence in Germany, continued online and total gross booking growth in the U.S., projections for 9-11% annual growth in China's travel market, increased mobile access and adoption of mobile bookings, and more, all point to great opportunities to influence the leisure traveler's destination selection process.
