The Evolving World of Travel
The Evolving World of Travel
The travel industry is constantly changing, growing and adapting to the interests and aspirations of people lucky enough to call themselves tourists. As such we have seen huge changes over the past few years as backpackers have taken over and baby-boomers have begun to travel. We can expect numerous changes in the future as economic, demographic and cultural changes shape the way we see the marvellous pursuit that is travelling.
People growing up in Generation X and Y thrived upon long, drawn out trips to exotic destinations around the world; they backpacked around India, learned to scuba-dive in Thailand and did aid work in South America. It would be nave to expect this group of people to settle down and we can expect professionals in their 20s and 30s to embark on journeys that span weeks or months and often involve taking career breaks or sabbaticals. This is not to say that careers are not important to this generation, but rather that travel has become such an important thing that they will be loath to abandon it. This is great news for the budget travel industry as people will continue to use cheap flights and hotels to allow them to go on long, adventurous trips to the far corners of the world.
We can also expect to see festivals and cultural events come to the fore in people's travel plans. Social media and other internet borne communications have made it incredibly easy for people to swap songs, art and other cultural items. In this sense music and other forms of performance can be appreciated on a global level, and it only makes sense that people will travel to see their favourite artists in person. The industry can thus expect to take advantage of people booking flights to Bonnarroo, Glastonbury, Oktoberfest and many other fantastic and famous festivals.
As some holidays come to the fore, others will naturally fade into the background and lose popularity. Beach holidays do not look to be among this group though, and this enduring mode of trip is likely to grow even stronger. Indeed, it seems that more people than ever are highlighting seaside destinations. This can perhaps be explained by the quickening pace of life - indeed, working life can be very stressful and everyone needs some time to relax. Beach holidays remain the perfect antidote to the travails of modern life and providers like On the Beach can expect to see ever more people book package holidays to warm weather resorts around the world.
The rate of change in the travel industry has been phenomenal and we have seen so many innovations and trends over the past ten years. In the coming years we can expect the rate of change to only increase as fads evolve in real time over the internet. This is an excellent thing as the industry will be better able to react to people's preferences and thus help people them have even better trips when they choose to venture beyond their own borders and into the many lovely holiday destinations around the world.
