BMO Private Bank Study: Affluent Americans Plan to Spend an Average of $13,000 on Vacations This Year
- Sixty-three percent plan to travel three times or more a year for pleasure - They expect to spend an average amount of $2,900 per trip - Most plan to travel within the United States and during the spring and fall seasons
(firmenpresse) - CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- (Marketwired) -- 07/21/15 -- BMO Private Bank, a part of BMO Financial Group, released the results of a study today profiling a high-net worth vacation, just as we hit the peak of summer vacation season. The study is part of BMO Private Bank's Changing Face of Wealth series, examining trends among affluent Americans (those with more than $1 million in investible assets).
According to the study, affluent Americans expect to spend an average of $13,249 on leisure travel this year (including airfare, accommodation, food, etc.). Further:
"Regardless of your income level, ensuring you are financially prepared for your trip will help you make the most out of your vacation, allow you to relax and escape the stress of everyday life," said Darrel Hackett, President, BMO Private Bank. "If you're passionate about travel, a financial professional can work with you to develop a comprehensive wealth plan that includes a leisure component. This would take into consideration how often you'd like to vacation, and the type of overall experience you'd like to have - whether it is flying economy versus business class or staying in five-star accommodations."
Affluent Prefer Spring, Fall Travels
The study also found that upon arrival, most high-net worth travelers prefer to stay in a four-star hotel (69 percent). Additionally:
Surprisingly, high-net worth Americans lean toward the spring (72 percent) and fall (76 percent) for their favorite travel times; fewer than one fifth find themselves traveling during the holidays (17 percent). Summer came in third, with 64 percent usually traveling at that time.
Most affluent Americans choose to travel within the United States (89 percent), while nearly half said they travel to Europe (49 percent). Other travel destinations included Canada (30 percent), Asia (25 percent), Mexico (22 percent), Central/South America (17 percent), and Australia (18 percent).
"Traveling abroad can introduce some complications that may deter you from leaving your home," Mr. Hackett said. "However, a financial professional can help you identify what possible issues may arise - such as a difference in currency or spike in prices during certain seasons - and help you prepare for them to ensure your trip flows seamlessly and is enjoyable for everyone."
