The proportion of total spending on an overseas visit
by air will vary by country. In particular, air travel prices
are likely to represent a higher proportion of travel
spending in low income countries, especially where air
travel markets have not been liberalised. However, for
the bulk of air travel in liberalised OECD markets the
air travel price typically represents around 25% of the
total travel costs associated with leisure travel (though
the exact percentage varies depending on the length
and type of travel).
