A new report published by Skift.com details the travel habits and mindset of affluent Americans. Among the findings: Affluent Americans make up just 20% of the U.S. population, but they account for 51% of total travel expenditures. The Skift report – which is available online for reporting subscribers – also looks at a sub-segment of the affluent travel market: the “Super Affluent” (those with a combined household income over $200,000) and how their travel differs from the less affluent travelers.
With just a quick analysis, the most interesting report highlights to the luxury marketer may be Skift’s summary of how Affluent Travelers are increasingly embracing alternative accommodation options as well as the reporting on how Affluent Travelers prioritize experiences while traveling.
