Nearly 60% of people are “planning” people, more than double the number of “haphazard” people. Furthermore, the number of people who are “undecided” exceeds the number of people who are “haphazard”, indicating that there are many people who cannot make up their minds and who change their travel style depending on the situation. What are the trends of “planning people” and “haphazard people” by age? Next, let’s look at trends by age.

In fact, over 70% of people over the age of 60 are “planners.” On the other hand, nearly 40% of people in their 20s answered that they are “haphazard” people. What are the reasons for “planning” and “haphazard”? What are the reasons for choosing between the “planned type” and the “haphazard type”? Here are some comments received from survey participants. Comments from the planned group: ・”If you don’t plan, you won’t be able to visit the spots you want to go to or eat the foods you want to eat.” ・”It’s a waste of time to research and decide on the spot. I want to do thorough research in advance and then efficiently sightsee the best places. After the trip, I don’t regret it later when I find out about the famous places and shops I want to visit. I don’t want to.” ・”If you don’t plan, you’ll end up wasting time and not being able to have a meaningful trip.” ・“I think of various routes and destinations in advance because I feel like it’s a waste of time to waste time worrying about what I’m going to do when I’m traveling.” When I checked the comments of people who are “planners,” I found that the most prominent comment was “I want to travel efficiently.” Many people seem to feel that it is a waste of time to research tourist spots or consult with them while they are there. Additionally, several people expressed the opinion that by making a plan, you can make sure to see the highlights. On the other hand, the comments from the “haphazard” group are as follows. Random comment: ・“Even if I make a plan, there are many times when my time doesn’t go as planned or I come across famous places that I didn’t know about, so I’ve learned to enjoy things as the situation arises.” ・“Chance encounters are interesting” ・“The feeling you get on the spot is important.” ・“I’m not good at making detailed decisions.” ・“I want to experience unexpected joy by seeing and experiencing things and places that interest me wherever I go.” It can be seen that “haphazard people” enjoy encounters that occur from time to time and unexpected experiences. They seem to be attracted to the sense of adventure and chance encounters that they can’t get on a planned trip. There were also opinions such as “I’m not good at making plans” and “I get depressed when things don’t go as planned.” Many people have decided on accommodations, but many have not decided on where to eat. When we asked respondents how much they plan for each item, such as accommodation and transportation, we found that the percentage varies greatly depending on the item.

Accommodations and transportation are the core elements of a trip, so many people may plan them in advance. Regarding things such as where to eat and participation in events and activities, which generally have a wide range of choices and are often seen as optional elements, many people answered “I haven’t really decided” or “I haven’t decided.” It becomes.
