Raise your hands if you are a GenZ and you love to travel! Well, who doesn’t love to travel, right? Be it GenZ, millennials, or other generations, everyone has that desire to explore the world. While our wish to travel might be the same, the reasons are not exactly similar. Focusing on GenZ today, most people of this generation love going on holidays for a few reasons. What motivates them to book tickets, pack their bags, and get set go? Let’s find that out here!
These Travel Factors Are IMPORTANT For GenZ While Planning Holidays
Being a GenZ myself, I can surely say that there are tons of misconceptions about my generation. All we love is to stay outside, party hard, and the criticising list can go on and on. Interestingly, none of these are actually that necessary for this generation to make travel plans. A recently released survey by Booking Holdings revealed how GenZ travel enthusiasts prioritise some factors while looking for destinations to explore on their holidays.
The study stated that the most important factors are not anything related to crazy nightlife or even any fascinating entertainment options. Instead, GenZ looks for destinations that have value for money, offer yummy authentic dishes, and have scenic places home to breathtaking natural beauty. According to a report by Business Insider, tourists from this generation also consider shopping places and safety updates right after the first three factors helping them to determine their holiday plans.
Some findings of the survey are how GenZ travellers get influenced by relaxing and feeling rejuvenated on vacations and also love to visit new destinations. Interestingly, this generation is likely to drink alcohol less than the elders. The survey was conducted with 32,300 people from 32 countries in January 2024 and February 2024.
