With the heat comes the time of year when Spaniards enjoy traveling the most: summer. According to a survey by WeRoad, a company specializing in the travel sector for millennials, the vast majority of these young Spaniards, about 83%, will take a trip this summer, while a minority will prefer to venture out on dates other than the summer season.
Generally, it is during this time of the year when this generation has more vacation days and, therefore, can plan longer trips and enjoy their destination at their leisure. In fact, according to WeRoad, 60% of young Spaniards will travel for more than 10 days this summer.
“More and more young people prefer to flee from traditional organized trips where you stay in hotel chains to replace it with total immersion. This means investing more time in the chosen destination to get to know the culture and gastronomy of the country first hand and surrounded by local people,” says Laura Perez, Country Manager of WeRoad.
In addition to these data, there are other factors such as the destinations they plan to visit and the type of trip they are going to make. According to WeRoad's analysis, most domestic millennials will choose to travel as backpackers (41%), preferring destinations in Europe (43%) and Asia (32%). And to a lesser extent, they will choose to visit America (15%) and Africa (10%).
