I was recently reading a post over at Travel Writers Exchange about how travel bloggers can inspire travel. In the post, Chris Christensen notes that few people travel like travel bloggers and travel writers do.
Chris also noted some surprising statistics (when viewed from a travel blogger’s standpoint). For example:
- Many people consider a weekend trip to visit grandma to be a vacation.
- Many people just don’t travel, and some don’t even like to travel.
- The majority of people drive when they travel and only slightly over 25% fly.
- Less than 10% have taken a cruise.
- A quarter of people say they haven’t taken a family vacation in at least ten years, if they’ve ever taken one at all.
