New habits of French holidaymakers

Abritel®-HomeAway ™ , an expert in holiday rentals, has conducted a study * to observe and analyze the behavior of French holidaymakers. And the trend of 2018 can be summed up in a motto: "The more we are crazy, the more we laugh! ". Indeed, with friends (for 62% of respondents), extended family or with another family, the French go in groups to their resort. In terms of organization, vacation rentals are the preferred accommodation option: 53% of them prefer it when they go with family or friends and 55% when it comes to leaving with another family of friends.

Going in tribe: many advantages ... and some disadvantages sometimes!

The arguments are initially emotional: 65% say they make this choice to spend time with people they love. But also pragmatic: for 25% of respondents it is an opportunity to share and therefore to divide the cost. Nevertheless, going in tribe is not always easy. They are 53% to consider that it will be necessary to show flexibility and sense of compromise, to agree on the rules of living together before the stay (36%) and not to quibble about the least expenses (31%). Some concede it: not always easy either to agree on the rules of living before the stay (36%) and not to quibble about the least expenditure (31%). Would still like to repeat the experience the following year!

And you ? Are you also part of the 25% who plan to spend a tribe holiday this year, whether for the first time or not, in a rented house or not? Beyond the practical and economic benefits, sharing a holiday experience with others is also the best way to make beautiful memories.
