High-end Vacation Destinations in the United States 2009
Mintel, Nov 2009, Pages: 78
As noted in Mintel’s Leisure Travel—U.S., June 2009, the leisure travel market declined considerably in 2008 and the first two quarters of 2009 as a result of recessionary pressures. However, the cost of travel declined between March 2008 and 2009, and this has created a context in which affluents and others are somewhat more comfortable spending on vacation travel.
Nonetheless, the travel industry continues to struggle, and there is some indication that the luxury segment of the industry has been especially hard hit by recession. As such, it is critical that marketers as well as managers charged with developing new travel products and services gain an in-depth understanding of the lifestyles that are prominent within their target market. This knowledge can be used to optimize marketing and product development efforts and, ultimately, gain an edge on the competition.
More specifically, this report addresses the following questions:
- How are the lifestyles and attitudes of high-end travelers distinct from the average American
- What types of communications and offerings are likely to resonate with high-end travelers
- How often do high-end travelers take vacations, and how does that compare with the frequency with which the average American travels
- What are some of the most highly rated destinations, and what makes them so desirable to high-end travelers
- What recent innovations are likely to drive sales of high-end vacations
- What do affluents typically spend on a vacation, and how does that compare with the average American respondent
- What states in the US and what foreign countries are most popular with high-end travelers
- What themes are common and especially important in communications designed to promote high-end travel
