This report provides comprehensive and current information and analysis of the US Vacation Plans and Priorities market including US Vacation Plans and Priorities market size, US vacation plans market research, anticipated market forecast, relevant market segmentation, and industry trends for the Vacation Plans and Priorities market in the US.
81% of consumers plan to take at least one leisure trip in 2022, though 55% are still wary of the spread of COVID-19 and its variants.
The desire for normalcy is a strong motivator for 2022 travelers, making it important for brands to keep up their mitigation strategies.
Certain travel segments, such as airlines, continue to have labor issues that can limit recovery; others, like the cruise industry, are threatened by the spread of COVID-19 itself.
Four consumer travel segments represent different travel habits, providing opportunities for many different types of travel providers and services. For instance, the largest of these segments, the Roused Returners, are very eager to travel, and family travel providers should pay attention to this group. Meanwhile, the Timely Travelers, though the smallest segment, is the most inclined toward luxury travel and can be encouraged to spend more in 2022 on vacations they’ve put off over the last year or two.

This report, written by Mike Gallinari, a leading analyst in the Travel and Leisure sector, delivers in-depth commentary and analysis on the US consumer vacation plans market, to highlight current trends and add expert context to the numbers.
In 2022, there will be fewer consumer-driven barriers to travel. That is to say, Americans really, really want to take vacations again, and their limitations on doing so mostly lie in the areas of market factors and regulatory limitations. Travel providers can present themselves as allies to consumers by giving them a relaxing vacation experience that approximates the pre-pandemic norm as much as possible.

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.
We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.
They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.
One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.
We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.
We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.
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.
