The Package Holidays market in Central America has been experiencing notable growth and development in recent years.
Customer preferences: Travelers in Central America are increasingly seeking convenience and hassle-free vacation experiences, driving the demand for package holidays. The all-inclusive nature of these packages, which often include accommodation, meals, and activities, appeals to customers looking for a seamless travel experience without the need to plan every detail themselves.
Trends in the market: One prominent trend in the Central American package holidays market is the rise of eco-friendly and sustainable tourism packages. Travelers are showing a growing interest in preserving the region's natural beauty and supporting local communities through their travel choices. As a result, tour operators are offering more environmentally conscious options, such as stays in eco-lodges and tours focused on conservation efforts.
Local special circumstances: Central America's diverse landscape and rich cultural heritage make it a unique and attractive destination for travelers seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation. Countries like Costa Rica, known for its biodiversity and eco-tourism initiatives, are particularly popular among tourists looking to explore natural wonders while enjoying the convenience of a packaged holiday.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The improving economic stability and infrastructure development in many Central American countries have contributed to the growth of the package holidays market. As disposable incomes rise and transportation networks improve, more people are able to afford and access packaged travel options, boosting the overall tourism industry in the region. Additionally, government initiatives to promote tourism and invest in the sector have further supported the expansion of the package holidays market in Central America.
Data coverage:
The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of package holidays.Modeling approach:
Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.Additional notes:
The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
