PR Newswire Reports On Survey Finding That More Baby Boomers Seek To Recoup On A Vacation In 2018 When Compared To 2017
Want to travel more in 2018? Just do it! I highly recommend. A balanced work-life schedule for this upcoming year will give you something to look forward to, while also allowing you to spend more time with family or friends or both! A survey from AARP, the nation's largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering Americans 50 and older, focuses on what people's plans are for 2018 in regards to travel. In summary, the recent research found that Baby Boomers report fewer vacation barriers heading into 2018 (20% report no barriers compared to 12% in 2017) with a stronger urge to relax and rejuvenate (up from 38% to 49%). Many international travelers shared that they want to see things from a local's perspective with nearly half reporting interest in touring with a local (49% compared to 40% in 2017).
PR Newswire relays from AARP findings that: 1) Boomers expect to take four or five leisure trips next year, spending an average of almost $6,400 on leisure travel in 2018 (most say this is the same or more than they spent in 2017) 2) Millennials estimate they will shell out about $6,800 for vacations and Gen Xers $5,400 3) More employed Boomers will use all or most of their vacation time in 2018 than in 2017 (68% compared to 59%) 4) 74% of Millennials expect to bring work along on a trip; 65% of Gen Xers plan to do the same; but just 56% of Boomers are likely to work while out of the office. AARP Travel is a valuable resource that helps Americans 50-plus travelers stretch their their dollar and itineraries while also stretching their minds and possibilities.
