Global ski tourism and travel trends

Overview

Global and regional ski tourism trends indicate a diversification of travel destinations and increased frequency of trips. Data shows a significant rise in interest for international locations, with American bookings for European destinations increasing 72 percent year-over-year. Italy, in particular, has seen a surge of over 500 percent, partly driven by interest in the Milano-Cortina Olympics.

In Europe, while France remains a dominant destination, there is a redistribution of travelers toward other Alpine regions. British travelers are showing increased engagement, with the proportion of individuals taking two or more trips per year rising from approximately one in five to more than one in three. Specific growth has been noted in Italy, Austria, Switzerland, and Andorra.

The industry is also seeing developments in luxury accommodations and resort infrastructure, such as new high-end residences in France and expanded hotel facilities in the United States.
