Results from Concrete Playground’s 2022 Travel Survey highlight 96 per cent of respondents intend to travel abroad this year, with Western Europe marked as the number one destination.
To help readers make the most of their impending travel plans, Concrete Playground has partnered with HSBC to launch a series of travel guides to international cities to coincide with the European summer.
Each guide provides a snapshot of the city, arming readers with all the information and inspiration they need to build their own bespoke itinerary.
First and third-party data was used to select the six trending European destinations — Copenhagen, Lisbon, London, Marseille, Milos and Sorrento — and all recommendations in the guides, from the best eats and activities to top accommodation, were curated by Concrete Playground’s editors.
As part of this campaign, HSBC assets were also rolled out across Concrete Playground’s travel e-commerce platform, CP Trips, taking readers from inspiration to purchase.
