From the findings of the Travel Leaders Group‘s authoritative 2016 Travel Trends Survey I couldn’t but take a closer look at the numbers pertaining to travel to Paris and France.
Travel Leaders Group agents provided insights on how November’s terrorist incident in Paris is impacting bookings, as well as whether their clients would travel to Paris and France.
When asked, “Have the events unfolding in France caused your clients to cancel or delay travel to France?” Travel Leaders Group travel agents’ responded:
“No, not at all; my clients are continuing with their immediate travel plans.” |
14.3% |
“No, not at all; my clients are continuing with their future/long-term travel plans.” |
20.0% |
“Yes, a small percentage of my clients are delaying their trips.” |
10.0% |
“Yes, a large percentage of my clients are delaying their trips.” |
0.8% |
“Yes, a few clients have cancelled their trips.” |
6.0% |
“Yes, some clients have cancelled their trips.” |
2.6% |
“Yes, a significant number of clients have cancelled their trips.” |
0.8% |
The remaining agents didn’t currently have any bookings for France – not atypical for November/early December bookings.
