The Emerging Consumer Survey 2015 by Credit Suisse tracks nine key emerging countries: Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and South Africa. Within the past five years, there has been a nearly 20% growth in propensity to holiday within emerging markets. This has partially been fuelled by the resurgence of the global economy. The aspirations of consumers in emerging markets continues to grow, with Brazil leading the pack by more than double. Consumers in Brazil are often geared to take shopping trips, particularly to close-in locations such as Miami, which drives a significant amount of travel spend into North America. China, India and Indonesia are quite mobile, with around 5% of consumers in those countries planning to holiday in the next 12 months. While it may seem that emerging markets are not as suited to technology-enabled travel, these regions are enjoying significant smartphone penetration.
