Travelers preferences revealed
TripAdvisor has just surveyed more than 2,500 travelers globally, finding the top trends were concerns about germs, the growth of green tourism, and opposition to cell phone use on planes.
It also found emerging hotspots for vacations in 2008 were Jerba in Tunisia, Makadi Bay in Egypt and Phangnga in Thailand.
Airplanes were deemed the most germy, according to 28 percent of those polled, with public transportation next, followed by restaurants, hotels, and airports. Nearly half — or 45 percent — of travelers said their worst experience at a hotel was a dirty bathroom or dirty sheets but 17 percent said they encountered vermin.
Travelers are going greener, with 26 percent planning to be more environmentally conscious in their travel decisions in the coming year, with plans ranging from biking to hiking. And they clearly don’t want cell phones disturbing their peace, with 78 percent of travelers believing that mobile phones should not be allowed on flights.
