Additionally, vacations seem to spark romance, with 69% of people feeling more romantic while traveling than in their daily lives. Popular romantic activities include walking on the beach (55%), watching sunsets (54%), and holding hands (53%).

Traveling together is seen as a serious step in relationships, with 76% considering it important. Spontaneous trips also add excitement to relationships, according to 72% of respondents.
