An analysis carried out by travel agent Skycanner shows that significantly more Germans are using the “All Locations” option when searching this year. This shows all the options sorted by the cheapest price.
A full 85 percent of travelers are interested in visiting new places this year, but 17 percent of respondents have difficulty discovering new travel destinations. Some travelers (16 percent) feel overwhelmed by the idea of booking travel in 2024. More than half (55 percent) of these respondents worry about the cost, while others have difficulty deciding on a date (36 percent) or a destination (31 percent). The majority of German travelers estimate that their flight (round trip) in 2024 will cost over 500 euros per person. However, the "All Places" search on Skyscanner shows significantly cheaper prices for the summer: For example, from Berlin to Naples (Italy) in June for 63 euros, from Stuttgart to Barcelona (Spain) in July for 62 euros or from Düsseldorf to Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) in August for 86 euros. Bored with conventional tourist hotspots, 87 percent of respondents think algorithms recommend the same destinations over and over again. In contrast, 68 percent confirm that they have more trust in the advice of experienced travelers who have explored the country extensively themselves.
