Overview of the Sustainability Market in Germany

Soaring prices cause consumers to change their spending behaviour, and holiday planning is one of the areas most impacted by such changes.

With the vast majority of travellers saying that cost has the biggest impact on their holiday planning, sustainability and sustainable holiday activities are taking a back seat as they are often linked to higher prices.

Sustainability in Tourism in Germany: What Consumers Want and Why

  • Sustainable Tourism in Germany & the High Cost of Living: In the current economic situation, consumers prioritise cost over sustainability with 72% saying that prices have the biggest impact on their holiday planning. Once Germans feel financially more confident again, sustainable travel in Germany will gain momentum. Meanwhile, domestic holiday brands can position themselves as a cheaper and more eco-friendly alternative to international brands.
  • Sustainability in the Travel Industry: A lack of transparency is threatening the sustainability market in Germany with 62% of Germans thinking that travel companies are guilty of greenwashing. To increase visibility of sustainability in travel and to gain customers’ trust, brands need to communicate transparently, be honest about the climate footprints of their travel offers, and make emissions measurable. With transparency, they can also help younger generations book sustainable long-distance holidays to increase the number of sustainable travellers, while simultaneously generating sales.

What’s Next for the Sustainability Market in Germany?

  • To secure sustainable development in Germany long-term, responsibility needs to shift from consumers to brands through government regulations. As Mintel expects the sustainability market in Germany to grow long-term, technical development will be indispensable to transform the tourism industry towards sustainability.

Trusted by global industry leaders

Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.

When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.

The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.

Ben Zeidler, Director - Research and Analytics, Tenth Wave

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.

Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.

As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.

We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.

 

Andrew Neeson, Market Intelligence Manager, VocaLink

When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
