A recent survey conducted with Kantar Consumer Link, which surveyed 500 Hong Kong respondents, revealed key trends and concerns among Hong Kong travellers. Passion for Travel Prevails Despite Budget Constraints As travel spending faces new challenges, 81% of APAC travellers cite financial constraints as their primary reason for not travelling, a sentiment echoed by 78% of Hong Kong respondents. Despite these hurdles, 90% of locals plan to travel this year, underscoring a persistent desire to rest, relax and enjoy cultural experiences. Notably, retail therapy has gained significant traction among Hong Kong travellers, reflecting a preference that surpasses trends in other regions. Heightened Travel Concerns Hong Kong travellers are increasingly prioritising personal safety and risk management, more so than many APAC peers. Traditional worries about illness remain prevalent, but new concerns weigh on travellers’ mind. The survey reveals that 53% of travellers are now anxious about personal safety, 52% are concerned about extreme weather, and 53% worry about falling ill. Consequently, the risk of losing travel documents is cited as a higher concern by 43% of respondents compared to the APAC average of 31%. This evolving risk landscape necessitates a proactive approach to travel insurance, with 90% of respondents indicating that purchasing insurance is essential for peace of mind and protection against unforeseen events. The Heavy Impact of Social Media Social media is reshaping how Hong Kong travellers plan and manage risks. The survey reveals that 50% of respondents now rely on social media for travel planning, a figure that surpasses other countries, with YouTube being the most trusted platform for recommendations (77%). However, a disconnect persists, especially in Hong Kong, as only 35% utilise apps for travel alerts or safety advice in contrast to the APAC average of 38%, emphasising the need for improved resources that bridge inspiration with practical preparation. Preference for Bite-Sized & Family Getaways Hong Kong travellers are opting for shorter, more frequent trips, with the average getaway lasting 5-8 days and a budget of approximately US$1,780, slightly higher than that of neighbouring countries. Intra-Asia travel remains the top choice for 50% of respondents, with most travellers planning their trips in less than three months. This trend towards spontaneity in travel underscores the importance of preparation, as 46% of travellers express concerns about flight delays and 40% prepare for potential luggage issues. Family travel also continues to gain momentum, with 51% of respondents travelling with partners or spouses and 29% with family including children, compared to 9% of solo travellers. This also aligns with overall APAC data trends. Comments from Vinay Surana, Managing Director of Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, Allianz Partners Hong Kong "It is reassuring to see that 90% of Hong Kong travellers recognise the importance of securing travel insurance, prioritising it over non-essential items. Despite financial constraints and concerns, travel remains an essential part of life in Hong Kong. With the peak mid-year holidays approaching, we expect that travel demand will remain high across age groups and will continue throughout the rest of the year. Our customers value efficiency and versatility, and as Allianz Partners launches the Travel Index, we are dedicated to empowering them with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the evolving risk landscape. By merging local insights with global trends, we aim to redefine travel protection and enhance the overall travel experience." Comments from Greg Plifka, Managing Director, Allianz Partners Hong Kong "Our 2025 Travel Index reveals Hong Kong travellers are taking shorter, more spontaneous trips while demanding greater protection. With 90% now seeing insurance as essential, we recognise this as both a responsibility and an opportunity to provide further integrated services. Allianz Partners will continue to innovate our travel solutions in response to Hong Kong travellers’ behaviours, empowering them to confidently travel the world."
