A recent study by YouGov reveals some interesting insights into how Canadians view their vacations, and it starts long before they board the plane! One in four Canadians say their vacation begins as soon as they start planning, and that excitement is even higher for those who work with travel advisors.
Key Highlights:
- Early Planners: 25% of Canadians feel their holiday starts the moment they start planning. For Millennials, that number rises to 29%. If you’re someone who loves to get a head start on your travel dreams, planning early can bring that holiday excitement sooner.
- Airport Enthusiasts: 37% of Canadians say their vacation begins at the airport, with women more likely to feel the vacation vibes when they arrive. There’s something special about that pre-flight buzz, isn’t there?
- Destination Arrival: For some, the holiday doesn’t start until they’ve reached their destination, with 28% saying they only feel on vacation when they get there. Gen X travellers, in particular, tend to fall into this group.
Why Use a Travel Advisor?
The study found that Canadians who use travel advisors are almost twice as likely to feel that vacation excitement early on. Personalized service and expert advice make the planning process stress-free, making it a seamless, enjoyable part of your trip. That’s why so many of my clients feel the fun starts from the very first conversation!
