TripAdvisor survey – combine lessons & leisure

Tripadvisor has surveyed more than 2,500 travelers and determined that 32 percent of travelers are planning to engage in educational activities while on holiday in 2008. This statistic is up 7 percent, from 25 percent last year.

According to TripAdvisor, of those who plan a “learning” holiday, 19 percent plan to attend art classes, 35 percent will take sports-oriented sessions, and 52 percent will learn how to cook. And 34 percent plan to take a wine-making or wine-tasting class.

So that’s more than half who have been bitten by the cooking bug and there’s arguably nothing better than taking a cooking holiday where you learn to cook in an authentic kitchen, using fresh local ingredients taught by a professional Italian, French, Spanish or Thai chef!

The trips are favored by women over men (57 percent to 43 percent) and the majority of participants said they want an educational holiday because it’s a new experience.
