That’s why there is a representative survey from Forsa with figures whose accuracy you can quickly verify by googling. For the main vacation in the year 2018, Germans spent 1352€ per person and even 4251€ per household.
I just did that. Not like a meticulous workday where everything has to be forensic and court-admissible, but I googled around a bit and came to the conclusion: it’s about the costs, how much the _German vacationer_ is on average willing (or has done) to pay in total for their vacation.
It’s not about the average German, but about the average German vacationer.
So, if 40% of Germans travel, these 40% spend on average these 1000-something. And this does not mean the package booking, but the budget spent for the vacation including incidental costs.
Of course, you need a basis. Such a statistic provides a reference point.
Not for me at all. Forsa surveyed 14xy (one thousand four hundred and some) people via market research for this survey. Topic: vacationers. Topic was not: Germans.
Whoever has always vacationed in luxury hotels since childhood is used to this type of vacation, while campers look forward to their camping vacation each year just the same. As one knows it and as one experienced it personally with family in the past.
Hm… We are probably considered DINK… plus at an age where you should be spending 300€ more. We could really splurge, especially since we’re used to flying vacations from our parents. However, we enjoy camping. For me exactly what was not modeled for me. Let Forsa come to me with that :cool:
