Survey: This is How Much Austrians Spend Per Capita on Vacations

"The vacation category clearly leads in the consumer spending of Austrians," said Gerald Resch, Secretary General of the Banking Association. By generation, Millennials (1981-1995) spend the most with 2,494 euros, while Baby Boomers (1946-1965) have the smallest vacation budget with 2,106 euros.

Gen X (1966-1980) spends 2,407 euros per year on travel, while Gen Z (1996-2010) spends 2,126 euros. Among the youngest generation, family vacations, city trips, and long-distance travel are particularly popular. The tastes of Millennials are similar; they prefer long-distance travel, beach and bathing vacations, as well as family trips. Gen X is predominantly found on the beach or in the mountains, and along with Baby Boomers, they also have a preference for city trips and wellness vacations.

Men spend more on vacations than women

"Across generations, beach and bathing vacations are the preferred type of vacation for Austrians, with 44 percent. In second place are city trips with 28 percent, and in third place are wellness stays with 29 percent," said Resch. In this regard, men (2,505 euros) spend on average more than women (2,150 euros). The survey was conducted by the opinion research institute Marketmind, with 1,000 people surveyed.

According to a second survey commissioned by the Austrian Hotel Association (ÖHV), 78 percent of Austrians will travel at least once this summer, 11 percent are still undecided, and another 11 percent do not plan a summer vacation. Slightly more than half plan at least one stay within Austria, and six out of ten respondents also travel abroad. The opinion research institute Reppublika surveyed 1,000 people for the survey.
