Engaging travelers to embrace more sustainable behaviours

Traveler Insights

For the last 11 years, we have carried out research into how travelers think about and act on sustainability. Our Travel and Sustainability Report – which has surveyed more than 262,000 travelers since its launch – continues to serve as a barometer for traveler sentiment and behavior on sustainability in travel. This year's survey, of 32,500 travelers across 35 markets, highlights how climate is impacting decision making, where travelers place their trust and which generation is living up to their intentions.
