All the signals seem to be green for tourism professionals, in particular for tour operators who have just given the first quantified trends for this summer 2023. The French who will go on vacation have booked earlier than usual and with a budget average up sharply. According to Les Entreprises du Voyage, total spending is up 37%.

If so many French people have booked so early, it is to reassure themselves and to avoid a possible new surge in the price of plane tickets. A rush that even surprised René-Marc Chikli, president of SETO, the union of tour operators. “What happened in January and this peak is still exceptional. Frankly, we have rarely experienced such a strong increase in orders in January”, he is surprised at the microphone of Europe 1.

Among the flagship destinations, classics such as Greece, a very strong rebound from Morocco and over long distances, an unprecedented hit from the United States. “The United States, over the summer, has never been the first destination for SETO. This is the first time that it has been the first destination. In terms of traffic and turnover, it is Mauritius”, is surprised the president of SETO.

And the French people who leave have clearly planned to have fun, with an average basket up 25% according to Jean-Pierre Mas, president of Entreprises du Voyage. “Those who can afford to go on vacation spend a lot more money. Especially since they deprived themselves a little more this winter and left fewer people during the winter and in the spring,” he says. . All the professionals were also surprised by the massive return of customers to certain destinations such as North Africa, to such an extent that it was necessary to rehire staff.
