more enthusiastic than their peers from other countries is about going abroad to travel (90% are very interested in comparison with 84% in their peers from other countries). In all other mobility formats, young Germans are less interested than their peers from other countries (see Figure 4 and Figure 5). The largest difference shows in the case of youth exchanges and summer camps (the overall interest of 71% in contrast to 81% of their international peers) and training courses (the overall interest of 69% compared to 85% in other nations). These are interesting results, and youth information services may utilise the high interest in traveling as such to boost interest in many other mobility formats, as travels are an integral part of any mobility experience. Youth exchanges and summer camps, for example, offer plenty of opportunities to travel around and meet up young people from other countries.
