Vacation Passion Is in the Air: eDreams Reveals Who’s Most Loyal, Who’s Most Likely to Cheat (& Who With)

BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading online travel agent eDreams’ latest global poll of 9,000 respondents* - including 2,000 from the US - shines a light on travelers looking for passion: revealing which nationalities, genders and age groups are most likely to use dating apps while on vacation, as well as disclosing who’s most likely to have a vacation fling - and why.

Who’s swiping for love? 60% of Spanish travelers report they are likely to use dating apps on vacation: that’s 69% of 25-34 year olds (and even 50% for 55-64 year olds). By comparison, 39% of Germans, 29% of Portuguese and just 25% of Americans report that they use dating apps while traveling. Among those Americans who use them on vacation, 30% are men and 22% women.

Passion with Partners, Friends, or Strangers?
38% of global respondents report that they would not look for passion while on vacation with anyone but their partners, the Americans are over that average with 42% (women 46% against 34% of men). 28% of Americans, though, admitted they have thought about a passionate encounter with an attractive friend and 14% with an ex, despite having a partner at the time.

Globally men fantasize most about a vacation affair, with 18% of male travelers reporting they’d choose a stranger or a colleague, compared to just 7% and 8% of women. 37% of American men would want to have a passionate vacation with a friend they find attractive compared to 22% of American women. 46% of American women wouldn’t want to have a passionate vacation with someone other than their partner compared to 34% of men.

eDreams’ poll reveals that, globally, almost twice as many men as women have cheated on their partners while on vacation: 22%, compared to just 13% of women. In the US, 27% of men admit to vacation cheating compared to just 14% of women (though 22% of women admit to having considered it, versus 26% of men).

Most loyal? The data also shows that Brits are more loyal to their partners than any other nation while on vacation: 47% of all British respondents refuse to have a passionate vacation with anyone but their partner – the Americans come in second place with 42%.

Taking a post-breakup break: eDreams’ poll also reveals that 68% of American respondents think that a vacation is a good idea following a break up (global percentage 69%).
