Economic impossibility for travel, 1/3 of Europeans cannot afford 1 week

Variations in holiday opportunities in the EU highlight the great economic disparities within the region. The data shows that, while some Europeans enjoy frequent holidays, a significant part of the population is financially constrained.

In 2023, around 29% of EU citizens aged 16 and over could not afford a 1-week trip, reflecting the economic challenges faced by a significant segment of the population. Although in 2022, 62% of EU residents aged 15 and over managed to take at least one non-work trip, this shows that 38% did not go on holiday during the year.

The impact of economic disparities is evident when comparing different countries. In Spain and Italy, 33% and 32% of the respective population could not afford a week's holiday. France and Germany have slightly lower percentages, 25% and 23%. However, the situation is more severe in Romania, where 60% of the population face financial barriers to travel. Also, Bulgaria (44%) and Hungary (43%) have high percentages of people who cannot afford vacations.

In contrast, Norway stands out with only 7.9% of the population unable to travel due to economic constraints. This difference highlights the link between a country's economic strength and its citizens' ability to take vacations.

Experts point out that these disparities are often linked to a country's gross domestic product, showing that wealthier nations typically have lower percentages of people who face economic barriers to travel.

Another study by Eurostat, collected in 2022, illustrates that 84% of people in the Netherlands, 83% in Luxembourg and 81% in Finland traveled for personal reasons. In contrast, only 28% of individuals in Bulgaria and Romania made trips that year.
