Tourism: Study: Romanians travel by plane twice a year on the average
Romanians travel by plane twice a year, as do the Hungarians and Turks, according to a study made an online travel agency released on Thursday. The average budget allocated by Romanians starts from 300 euros/person, while the Hungarians pay from 350 euros/person for a return ticket while the average cost is 500 euros/person for Turkish tourists.
The Romanians and Turks prefer similar destinations, according to Paravion.ro study. They choose locations in Europe such as Turkey, Greece, Spain, Italy and Germany, while the Turks prefer Moscow, Paris, London, Kiev and Greece with the islands and towns in its vicinity. At the opposite pole we find the Hungarians, who prefer destinations in Asia and USA - Bangkok, Miami, Tokyo, New York or Istanbul.
The makers of the study notice a resemblance between Romania and Turkey for the share of young and elderly tourists who used complete tourist packages this year. The share is 70% young people and 30% elderly people in Romania, 80% young people and 20% elderly people in Turkey.
Romanian tourists have the same opening towards mobility as those Turkish tourists, according to Paravion.ro. Online booking has grown by 300% in 2015 in Romania, reaching 25% of overall mobile transactions made by Paravion clients by means of smart phones. About 40% of plane reservations made by Turkish people came from mobile applications.
Romanians resemble Turkish people concerning the types of holidays requested most often as there is a preference for city-breaks. For these holidays, Romanians spend 250-350 euros/persons on the average, while the Turks 500-1,000 euros/person, while in the case of longer trips of 7 days, Romanian tourists allocate an average budget of 600-800 euros/person, compared to 650-1,000 euros/person spent by the Turks.
