The warm sand of your favorite beach, the sunny terrace of a mountain restaurant, the swimming pool of a campsite at the other end of France… More than one in two French people (55%) plan to leave on vacation this summer, according to an Ifop study (in PDF). A percentage up compared to summer 2020 (47%), marked by the health crisis.
But while inflation exceeded the 5% mark over one year in May for the first time since 1985, the future vacationers remain attentive to expenses: a quarter of them foresee a lower budget than last summer, while more than 7 out of 10 French people (73%) consider that the price of the rental is a determining criterion for the choice of holiday accommodation, according to the same survey.
