Their travel intentions for the summer season 2021 regarding the Costa Dauradaand their engagement with the expected global travel trends identified after the COVID-19outbreak were analysed by developing t-tests, ANOVA tests and linear regression with SPSS.The results allowed identifying sociodemographic characteristics that relate to the intention totravel to Costa Daurada among the French population: age and a previous visit to thedestination. Age had a statistically significant positive weak relationship with the intention totravel to Costa Daurada in the upcoming summer season of 2021 and people who visitedpreviously the destination were more interested in going again. Also, it was found thatengagement with the expected travel trends had a statistically significant positive weakrelationship with the intention to travel to Costa Daurada in the upcoming summer season of2021. On one hand, engaging with eco-tourism was identified to have a statistically significantpositive weak relationship with the intention to travel to Costa Daurada in the upcomingsummer season of 2021 by itself. On the other hand, avoiding organized trips showed astatistically significant negative weak relationship with the intention to travel to Costa Dauradain the upcoming summer season of 2021 by itself.The findings could benefit destination and business marketers to adapt and promote thefacilities and activities that are more attractive to the French tourists that showed more interestin travelling to Costa Daurada.
