Every year since 2009, Allianz Partners releases the Vacation Confidence Index. The most recent VCI, released in 2024, garnered an optimistic response, with 62% of respondents confident they’d take a summer vacation, and spending expected to top $221.6 billion, more than doubling pre-pandemic levels. The index also shows that the 35-54 age group is most likely to take a summer vacation, and with financial considerations as the most cited reason to not travel.
