The future of caravanning

In the current F.U.R.  study, the most important argument given by respondents for a caravanning holiday was spontaneity and ease of travel with a caravan or motor caravan. Approximately 22% of the respondents (14.3 million people), also including those who had not yet made concrete plans for a caravaning holiday in the next three years, noted these aspects as decisive arguments for caravaning.

15% of the respondents mention being close to nature on a caravaning holiday as a possible reason for choosing this form of travel. This corresponds to a market potential of 8.8 million people, and in the view of the respondents it is the second strongest argument for a holiday in a motor caravan or caravan.
