Travel is the top pursuit for nearly three-quarters of high income Asia Pacific households, according to a Visa survey released this week.
According to the ‘Spending Patterns and Perspectives of High Income Households’ survey, some 73% of high income Asia Pacific households said travel will be their main personal interest over the next two years, a Xinhua report said,
Travel was well ahead of food (43%) and music (31%) with 63% of respondents saying that they went away for weekends overseas every six months or so.
The survey, conducted by Visa in late 2008, had interviewed over 4,000 people from countries and regions such as Singapore, South Korea, Australia, India, Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
According to the report, the survey showed that respondents from Hong Kong and India were the region’s most frequent travellers. The most popular destinations among the region’s high income respondents were Japan, Australia and the United States.
