Summary

According to the latest Long-Haul Travel Barometer (LHTB) 3/2025, overall long-haul travel demand for September to December 2025 has declined compared to the previous year, with 55% of respondents planning an overseas trip — a 4% drop. The share of travellers reluctant to embark on long-distance journeys has risen notably in China, Brazil, and Canada, indicating a growing sense of caution. Despite this, intentions to visit Europe remain steady: 38% of respondents across seven major overseas markets plan to travel to Europe in the coming months, underscoring the region’s resilience amid a challenging global climate.

This issue of the Barometer provides valuable insights into long-haul travel sentiments for autumn 2025.

About the project

The Long-Haul Travel Barometer provides forward-looking information about short-term travel trends among potential travellers from Australia, Brazil, China, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the US. The analysis sheds light on travellers’ preferences, motivations and barriers related to travelling to and within Europe. Results are based on 1,000 interviews conducted in the five markets every four months. The Long-Haul Travel Barometer is a joint project of the European Travel Commission (ETC) and  Eurail B.V. Full results are available to the members of partner organisations only. The project is realised by Silverlining Research.

This project is co-funded by the European Union.
