IN BRIEF
|
The All Saints’ holiday is often synonymous with popular destinations, generally more expensive. This article examines the reasons that lead many travelers to choose very crowded tourist spots, resulting in price increases in those areas. Whether it’s a desire to escape under the sun or to gather with family, the choices made during this holiday period have interesting economic implications.
An Irresistible Attraction of Popular Destinations
Many vacationers are seduced by iconic destinations that enjoy worldwide fame. Cities like Bangkok, Tokyo, and popular localities in Morocco often top the preferences. This is explained not only by the richness of their culture and heritage but also by the many activities and events they offer. This influx of visitors creates a phenomenon where the growing demand leads to price increases on travel offers, ranging from accommodations to activities.
The Benefits of Low Season
It should be noted that despite the allure of these destinations, the All Saints’ holiday also coincides with a certain low season for some resorts and vacation spots. This means that many rentals offer attractive rates, which can encourage families to plan their holidays in more touristy locations without fearing excessive financial means. In fact, this mix of competitive prices and prestigious destinations attracts visitors seeking good deals.
A Matter of Price for Families
For families, making the right choice of destination often involves a cost analysis. Rural rentals, traditionally cheaper, appeal to those who want to enjoy pleasant vacations without bursting their budget. However, it is interesting to note that the desire to stay in iconic places pushes many travelers to favor these more expensive options, which are perceived as worthwhile investments for memorable experiences.
A Trend Towards Internationalization
At the same time, the desire for new experiences has led an increasing number of French people to explore less traditional destinations within Europe and beyond. Emerging countries, as well as less frequented but financially accessible European locations, are increasingly attracting travelers. The ability to stay in renowned establishments without breaking the bank is indeed tempting, but it often remains proportional to the fame of the intended destination.
Brittany: A Preferred Choice for the French
In this dynamic, Finistère, and more broadly Brittany, stands out as a preferred destination for French vacationers. This department not only offers breathtaking natural beauty but also a price-quality ratio that appeals to families. This illustrates the paradox: the popularity of a place can drive prices up, but in some cases, destinations can remain affordable while retaining their allure.
Attendance at Ski Resorts and Price Impact
Ski resorts, despite measured attendance in the fall, also position themselves based on attendance trends. In October, slight increases in attendance are often recorded, which can ultimately influence prices. The Alps, in particular, are very popular, and even if their full capacity is not reached, the prices for hotel nights or rentals may already take into account the high demand anticipated for the upcoming winter season.
