Earlier this June, we ran a travel survey in association with Lonely Planet. We asked people from all over the world things like \u2018How many days do you take for your main holiday?\u2019, \u2018What\u2019s your favourite type of accommodation?\u2019 and \u2018Do you intend to travel in the next months?\u2019 We also wanted to know: \u2018What\u2019s your most trusted hostel booking website?\u2019 I\u2019m delighted to report that 80% of people surveyed answered \u201cHostelworld.com\u201d to that final question.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re seen as the market leader for great value accommodation, there are lots of worthy competitors out there. But these global survey results continue to affirm us as the number one, most trusted website when it comes to booking hostels<\/a>, budget hotels<\/a>, and bed and breakfasts<\/a> around the world.<\/p>\n

So what were the answers to the other questions? Despite feeling financially constrained in today\u2019s economic conditions, when asked whether or not people intended travelling in the next 12 months, a whopping 97% said yes. When asked what type of accommodation they\u2019d consider for their next trip, 94% said a hostel, while the majority of people travelling will enjoy a trip longer than 28 days.<\/p>\n

The survey surfaced some other interesting statistics:<\/h4>\n

– July is the most popular month to travel (18%)
\n– The main reason for visiting a destination is to \u2018explore and learn about new cultures\u2019 (51%)
\n– 24% of people book their trips 2 months in advance of departure date
\n– 41% base their holiday choice on price
\n– 89% of wouldn\u2019t be willing to spend more than $100 a night on accommodation<\/p>\n

We found out lots more information from the survey also which I\u2019ll be posting in an inforgraphic here next week.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re thinking of booking a hostel in the future, you now know that Hostelworld.com is officially the most trusted website out there. We\u2019ve got more properties, more content and more availability than anybody else. That\u2019s official.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
