Abstracts

As the world’s economy slowly emerges from recession, to what extent will current travel behaviour alter? Will consumers return to old habits, or is the new emphasis on frugality, value, individualism and sustainability here to stay? This global report draws on Euromonitor’s extensive travel and tourism database to examine the impact of the downturn and other recent adversities, such as swine flu and the Icelandic ash cloud, on the travel market, and the industry’s prospects for the future.
