Travel for All
Are you a big traveller? A recent report from Eurostat, an organization that collects information and statistics on a wide range of issues across the European Union found that, for the most part, Europeans are a travelling bunch.
The study covers the year 2006 and looked at what percentage of the population went away for four days or more. They also spilt the information between domestic and foreign trips. On average, about four out of 10 Europeans travelled abroad that year. For the most part though, more trips were made in-country than out. Exceptions include Luxembourg, where only 1 percent took a domestic trip, while a whopping 99 percent left for countries elsewhere. I guess there’s not a whole lot more to see in the tiny country if you already live there. Other countries where significantly more people went abroad than stayed home include Belgium, Ireland and Slovenia. And who are happy to explore their own countries? The Romanians, Greeks, Spanish and French top that list – with more than 80% in each country content to take a trip domestically.
