RESEARCH in Europe has found cruise tourists have an above average tendency to book with travel agents and cruise tourists are more likely to spend more than other holiday segments.
The survey by the World Travel Monitor, carried out by IPK International and commissioned by ITB Berlin shows on average, 25% of European holidaymakers book via travel agencies, whereas among European cruise tourists this figure is 42%.
European cruise tourists spend over twice the European average in 2015, at 218 per night.
