TripAdvisor User Survey Finds 67 Percent of Europe-bound Travelers Altering Plans Based on Weak U.S. Dollar |
Sixty-seven percent of Europe- bound travelers are changing their plans due to the weak condition of the U.S. dollar, according to a survey conducted this week by TripAdvisor (http://www.tripadvisor.com/), the leading travel information and recommendation destination on the Web. Nearly 60 percent of TripAdvisor users surveyed say they will plan a shorter stay in Europe, 65 percent will shop less, 60 percent will dine more modestly and 59 percent will stay in more modest hotels.
"Americans traveling to Europe this year will have to be better prepared, more creative and savvy than in recent times to effectively manage their travel budgets," said Christine Petersen, senior vice president of marketing for TripAdvisor. "Travelers are coming to our site to plan and share information that will help them get the most out of their European vacation. Every insight could lead to big savings."
