COUPLES who travel together are significantly more satisfied with their relationships, have better sex and the romance lasts long after the holiday has ended.
"Couples who take time to holiday alone together at least once each year report happier, healthier relationships overall compared to those who do not travel as couples," Pam Loeb, principal of Edge Research, who conducted the telephone survey of 1100 adults said.
Edge Research performed the Random Digit Dialing (RDD) telephone survey between November 26 and December 9, 2012. The survey ensured a census representative sample of adults in relationships, with quotas on gender, age and region.
It found 77 per cent of respondents who travel as a couple say that they have a good sex life, compared to 63 per cent of couples who do not travel together.
More than eight in ten of those who travel as a couple say the romance is still alive in their relationship. Among couples that did not take a trip together in the past year, nearly one in four (23 per cent) say they "do not have enough time for intimacy and sex."
"What we've long known anecdotally, we're now proving through authoritative research: travel has a positive effect on relationships," Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, which launched the "Travel Effect" campaign this month to boost awareness of travel's benefits said. "Couples who travel together have healthier, happier relationships compared to those who do not travel together."
