The duration of recovery necessary depends on the performance of a duty in a given context (level of the stress to work, level of the stress of the town life, level of the stress in its life of couple,…).

In Switzerland, a voting proposed one 6th week of paid vacations, the population pushed back this proposal with a very vast majority.

However, of the recent investigations indicate that approximately 50% of French do not leave on holiday for economic reasons. En 2012, the recession and the climate of insecurity led approximately 80% of the French tourists to remain in France. In 2016, the recession is always very present with a historically high unemployment rate + 10%, the purchasing power of the households which drops and the taxes and taxes which increase. The moral one of French is with lowest.

INSEE quantifies in 2004 à 64 milliards € the amount the expenditure of French for their vacancies. Today, the general tendency of French is to remain in France for the summer holidays. Events in the Arab countries (Syria, Iraq…) will reinforce le besoin “sedentary”.

The tour operators make very gravitational offers towards Egypt Tunisia and Maroc. Au level of Egypt and Tunisia, French is sulky these destinations perceived like high-risk.
On the level of Grece, the serious economic situation can make think of French who the prices are very gravitational. A recent study to show that the current prices are the prices charged of 2008, consequently, it is not an economic destination. The primary reason is the rise of the taxes and taxes.The stays out of Europe will be guided by the soucisécuritaire and sun searches it.

On the level of Asia, Vietnam, but especially China will be destinations very appraisals. At the level of Africa, the recent events highlighted this continent where the atmosphere can very quickly degenerate towards violence.

Since 2015, the price of kesosene was stabilized what makes it possible to make competitive offers with the turns operators and the tour operators.The recent surveys conducted near the holiday makers show the reality of the constraint financièresur the conditions of the stay. A majority of the holiday makers modified their behavior to spend less. This reality touches all Europeans.

La baisse of the purchasing power for a few years has led Europeans more and more to remain on their premises and not to leave on holiday. The rise of the taxes (returned, local and taxes with dwelling) and raises loads (rent, transport, education, energy,… food) is a reality which touches world more and more. Each year, the number of holiday makers falls. A recent study near the French households indicates that 51% of the questioned people will have to decrease their budget vacancies this summer.

At the European level, the English tourists were most numerous with the one longest duration of stay. They spend on average 90 €/jour. They privilege the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Languedoc - Roussillon and Brittany.

It is ready to launch out to try by an opportunity to seize if the business suggested is really a real opportunity. The new behavior of the future tourist is to carry out a main site E-tourism day before to unearth best promotions. It can hold its ticket of transport to the SNCF 4 months in advance if the conditions are very gravitational. More and more, the tourist uses sites like Tripadvisor to get informed about reality via the opinions posted online.

However, the pleasure is accessible to the experienced people but also to the beginners. For some time, sites propose to put in contact owners of boats which search a crew to help with the operation and people who wish to surf. In general, the cost is rather modest, it understands the division of the costs (food, maintenance of the boat, shipping costs,…).

However, when the step was jumped, this formula is really a means economic to travel to lower costs.
It is essential to develop its good through photographs where one sees the good proposed with the exchange, but also to detail the conveniences (dishwasher, microwave, bicycles, swimming pool, car at disposal,…). It is interesting to describe the cultural aspects of the area.

France is a destination which attracts the tourists of the whole world. Paris, the big cities, the sun of the South are searched, but if your good is located at the countryside in a not very tourist area, you are likely not to have any person interested by an exchange.

Air transport

In 2003, the generalized climate of insecurity led the companies and the households to limit their displacements abroad. This fact amplified the open crisis at the large international airline companies due to imbalance between the level of the transport capacities to international and the level of the international request. In 2003, the financial loss is estimated at approximately 10 milliards $.
In 2004, the barrel of crude oil has atteint 35 $, in January 2007, it is gone down again to 38 $ but on January 2nd, 2008, it reaches the symbolic threshold of the 100 $. In April 2008, the course is of 138 $. The tour operators already concluded their reservations from their stay with the mode of transport on the basis of frequentation by country of 2003. Out, the rise in costs of transport drove the airline companies to increase the price of the seat by vol.
The Air France-KLM company installation of a “overload carburizing” of 3 € on its flights. In 2005, the cost of the kerosene remained on a very high level.

In June 2013, the course of the barrel of oil is de 95 $.

The flight of the price of the barrel à 130 dollars had consequences on the world air transport sector. One estimates the financial loss of the sector in 2008 between 2.3 at 4 milliards $. Air transport is confronted in a durable way at a price of the high kerosene. The last orders of the Paris airshow are directed towards the new more ecological motorizations but especially more sparing.

The Air France-KLM company spent in 2010, 7.5 milliards $ for the carburizing station, en 2013, one counts on 10 milliards $ avec a price the barrel above 110 $. This company increases its “overload carburizing” with each time the price of the barrel increases de 10 $. In 2014, since the beginning of the year the courses are stable. Since the invasion of part of Iraq, the courses start to exceed the 110 $.

International association IATA quantifies the economy for the whole of the airline companies with a barrel of oil with 51 $ for the year 2016 à + 36 milliards €.

Experts point out that since the launching of the A320 Airbus in 1987, the planes succeeded in only lowering the kerosene consumption that only of 2 %. It is urgent to develop and of launching new less greedy planes to answer the world demand of an air travel at an acceptable price. The race with the giant planes is started again. The chairman of the Air France-KLM company wishes develops it version of A380 - 900 to answer the new requirements of the market. Today, the group has 8 A 380 and it has just placed from the orders of 25 Airbus A 350 - 900 places which can be will be A 350 - 1,000 places.

 The airline companies use sometimes the system of the over-reservation to sell its tickets. The various jurisdictions recognized the damage of the traveller remained with the airport.

Attention with the loyalty cards of the airline companies, normally they make it possible to obtain free flights but in practice only 3 to 10 % of the total of the seats of a flight are booked with this use. It is impossible to hold its flight on its destination….

In Europe, the tariff battle is engaged by the large national companies and the low cost airlines like EASYJET, RYANAIR… on the market of the domestic flights, the companies lost-cost required new hangars on the airports to limit waste of time and to save on the price charged by the airport. Today in France, the airline companies low-cost représente26 %du gone of the internal lines and 43 %des lines to Europe. In 2014, the German airline company Lufthansa decided to propose flights low-cost on its lines between Europe and the United States.

The development of the digital economy made it possible the companies low-cost to reduce their costs of marketing. They developed commercial techniques in order to tariff certain performances of service like drinks, food and the magazines on board flights. Invoicing of the choice of the places and the luggage beyond 15 kg. Theirs planes make more rotation per day compared to the large companies. All these elements contribute to make advantageous the companies low-cost.

Tips: to avoid the fee and to obtain the best prices, it is advised to hold its tickets between 4:00 and 6:00 in France during the week, preferably Wednesday morning. The prices of the tickets are lowest on the companies low-cost if you book a long time in advance (+ 5 weeks compared to the date of the loading). If you consider a travel to several thousands of kilometers, it is necessary to hold almost 6 months in advance its ticket of vol.
The travel agencies are useful for the service. For example, if there is a problem involved in your flight, the travel agency must use its contacts to try to solve the problem remotely.

The airline companies low-cost:

Here the new offer of the Air France-KLM group to answer the competition of the low-cost.

In this context, the tour operators are in the financial obligation to practise an aggressive and very reactive trade policy at the tariff level to sell the already booked seats…. Each tour operator will establish his tariff scale by taking account of his commitments with his local partners and the various the tariff of airline companies and maritime conditions.

He will have to supervise very close the rate of filling of his flights and to limit his loss by selling off them to the last moment.
If you want to leave abroad, the offers will really have to be consulted very regularly to profit from the best offer at one moment T.
Currently, certain governments make political decisions but which generates an important overcost for the people who travel by plane. For example, if you take the plane with a Parisian airport, the cost of the airport tax is approximately 22 %!!!
One attends in the composition of the price of a ticket with a true reduction by the competition of the flight but a strong increase in the taxes (airport tax + fuel), with final, it there a rise for the consumer. It is recommended to use comparators to supervise the prices charged between the companies. Attention, there are comparators which reduce their research only to the companies partners what distorts the result.

The EasyJet company is one of most active in Europe and one of most profitable.

The Car-pooling
More and more of world resorts to use the system of the car-pooling to reduce their expenditure of transport. The site Bla Bla Because is one of the leaders on this market. For some time, it appeared offers on long ways sometimes of several months like the project of Gérard Piguet to leave on May 8th, 2017 Brest and to join Vladivostock in Russia, soit 12.434 km in 55 days. From the level of the financial participation, he is requested 808 €.

Thus, one transforms the expenditure of the carpark into potential receipt. For the moment, this system of reservation functions on the airports of Beauvais, Orly and Roissy Charles de Gaulle.
