For Marie-Faure Ambroise<\/b>, CEO of Beau Voyage<\/i><\/b> and an author specializing in family vacations, these minor friction points are a natural part of any group vacation. \u201cWe\u2019ve all experienced that moment on a group vacation when we eat breakfast in silence so as not to wake up our friends who don\u2019t get up until noon.<\/b> \u201d A familiar scene that illustrates these small daily misalignments, which are often more revealing than major conflicts.<\/p>\n

At Skyscanner<\/b>, we\u2019ve had a bit of fun decoding the real language of holidays thanks to the Holiday Clashometer<\/b>, a survey conducted with OnePoll among 1,000 French people.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The results are a real treat. When someone says: \u201cI\u2019m flexible!\u201d<\/i>, they often mean: \u201cI just hope we don\u2019t go over my budget.\u201d<\/i> The person who offers a very diplomatic \u201cWe\u2019ll do whatever you want\u201d<\/i> is actually hoping that someone will finally ask for their opinion. As for the hero who announces: \u201cI can sort out the bookings\u201d<\/i>, what they\u2019re really thinking is: \u201cNot again… \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n These little discrepancies, brought to life with the mischievous touch of Margaux Motin<\/b>, set the tone: holidays often begin with a series of unspoken assumptions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Skyscanner<\/b> study reveals that more than one in four French people believe a group trip has already strained an important relationship. Ten per cent even admit to having damaged a friendship.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For Alicia Sandon<\/b>, the problem arises long before the suitcases are packed : \u201cHolidays often begin with a collective misunderstanding. We\u2019ve all said yes to the same thing, but everyone sets off on the trip they\u2019ve imagined in their own head. Not necessarily the same one. \u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nThe real invisible baggage? Everyone\u2019s expectations<\/h2>\n
