Il viaggio di nozze cambia Le nuove formule allo studio dei network

🏖️ The traditional honeymoon season of spring and summer has changed, with no specific season now preferred. Claudio Busca of Gruppo Bluvacanze notes a market trend shift, with new generations already having long-range experience before marriage. The average honeymoon budget used to be around 20,000 euros, but now prices are lower (2,500 to 5,000 euros per person) due to off-season travel and occasions such as vow renewals or anniversaries. Wedding planners help optimize trips, with destinations chosen based on specific interests, like cherry blossoms in Japan. Dante Colitta of Welcome Travel Group mentions honeymoons can be shorter (2 or 3 nights) and less costly. Sergio Testi from Gruppo Gattinoni highlights a need to rethink the honeymoon format, especially for the 25-40 age group, leading to closer collaboration with tour operators.
