A changing travel industry
At a time when environmental protection has become a crucial issue for our future and that of future generations, the Travel d'Or awards will also reward the best actions in favor of more sustainable tourism.
“Travel is changing.
The consumer looks at prices, green products, relationships with local populations, short circuit consumption, mode of transport, etc.
Tourism brands must meet new challenges.
We will celebrate the best of them on these values.
», declares Frédéric Vanhoutte, founder of Travel d’Or.
In addition to the ecological aspect taken into account by more and more consumers, one of the major criteria remains that of the wallet.
Despite inflation, professionals are however observing an adaptation of behavior and new strategies on the part of the French who wish to reconcile savings and the desire to escape after three years of travel restrictions linked to Covid.
