This is how Germans go on vacation

That’s why it makes sense that long-distance travel has also reached a record level. They now account for over nine percent of trips abroad, compared to just under seven last year. Germans preferred to fly to North America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. According to Sonntag, another Corona effect can be seen here too: “Before the pandemic, travelers were more interested in relaxation or time with the family,” he says. “But we now see that the reasons for traveling are more towards curiosity and an interest in foreign things, because that wasn’t so easy for so long.”
