According to a joint study conducted by Accenture and Tripadvisor among 1,000 U.S. travelers, traveler confidence is returning this year, especially among higher earners and millennials. Those with incomes of $100,000 or more were the most likely to travel this year, with 34% having already booked a trip. Meanwhile, only 19% of those with incomes less than $100,000 have booked a trip so far this year.

Millennials were found to be the most eager group to fly, with 58% of millennials with incomes of $50,000 or more considering domestic air travel for their next trip (compared to 41% among other age groups). This group is also more likely to be contemplating international travel (25%). Furthermore, 32% of high-earning millennials indicated that they plan to increase their travel spending this year.

“We found that travel confidence is back—and in a big way,” the study states. “Americans are pushing out of their comfort zone and expanding their travel radius to go further, spend more and, most importantly, relax.” (Travel Weekly, 05.10.21)
