Budget holidays in the German travel market : Not just a question of money

  • The term ‚budget‘ often appears in conjunction with travel and tourism. An analysis of the literature on it shows that there is no clear definition of the term and that it is used in widely different contexts. What all usages of the term ‚budget‘ have in common is the reference to low-cost travel. For the German market, this article shows the funds available for trips and analyses expenditures during holiday trips. Based on the bottom quartiles of expenditures on holiday trips, holiday trips per person and holiday per day per person, a definition of budget holiday trips is given. A closer observation of this group, which without including visits to family or friends makes up 12.9 percent of all holiday trips, shows that it is by no means only households from low-income groups who go on budget holidays. On the contrary, it is above all families and groups who choose destinations not too far away, in particular the North Sea and the Baltic while operators offering package tours with air travel to southern countries scarcely figure in this group, despite their large expenditure on advertising.
