The survey reveals 44% of respondents plan to travel internationally three or more times throughout the year, a 16% increase compared to 2022 survey results.

"It's clear that people's desire to travel, whether internationally or domestically, is not slowing down in 2023," said Steve Paraboschi, IMG President and CEO.
