Vacation in Turkey or on a cruise: price increases and trends!

in Brandenburg it will soon be called "Ferienzeit, Time Time"! The school holidays start in less than a month and the travel agencies in Oranienburg, Hennigsdorf and Gransee are already in full commitment to grab the best offers. A clear tendency can be seen: Turkey remains an absolute favorite among vacationers, often booked as a all-inclusive offer. This popularity is clearly shown, even if prices have risen in Turkey. Nevertheless, the price-performance ratio remains attractive for many, which makes the decision easy. maz-online.de reports that a Mediterranean cruise for a family with two children, for example on a ship of AIDA or my ship, costs around 5,500 euros for a balcony cabin. This way of traveling is particularly attractive for families, since children often receive high discounts and a lot of entertainment is offered.

Not everything runs smoothly, because the rising prices are worried about many travelers. Inflation in Turkey ensures that vacationers have to dig deeper into their pockets - so a glass of wine could already cost 8 euros. The higher costs affect not only the food, but also restaurants, sightseeing and souvenirs. tagesschau.de reports that retailers in popular holiday resorts like Antalya suffer from the preference for all-inclusive offers, which is strongly hit by smaller restaurants and local operators.

popular alternatives and local preferences

If Turkey does not fit into vacation, Greece and Mallorca are other popular travel destinations. But there is also excitement here: the prices in Mallorca have risen sharply, which leaves a queasy feeling with some tourists. Demonstrations against tourism also ensure that travelers feel uncomfortable. Nevertheless, there is also an increase in popularity for the Baltic Sea in Oberhavel when it comes to a vacation in your own country. In fact, many regular customers now prefer to spend their vacation here or reduce the duration of their trips to escape the price increases. The price increases for package vacations are estimated to be around 20 percent, which makes some families move their vacation to the autumn holidays to save costs.

In addition, the trend towards individual trips and sustainable travel are increasingly on the rise. According to Statista.com , over 60 percent of German travelers are interested in making their vacation socially compatible. Sustainability will remain a big issue for the next few years, while more travelers take digital booking and innovative technologies. Awareness of ecological aspects is growing, and travelers show a strong interest in environmentally friendly mobility and alternative means of transport.
