For them, trips aren’t just about exploring new places but also about meeting new people and forging meaningful connections.
Gen Z Looks Beyond Pin Codes & Passports In Dating, Says Tinder
Gen Z is happy to explore and see where their holiday romance takes them, even after the vacation ends! Tinder’s report has found that this generation is keeping the spark alive long after the suitcase is unpacked. For them, long-distance is no longer a dealbreaker, as they are happy to travel to other cities and countries to see how the romance unfolds.
Tinder’s Year in Swipe report revealed that travel ranks as the top interest among young users. They found that nearly half of young Indians are open to dating someone outside their city, and a third are even ready to go international. In fact, one in five has already met someone while travelling.
According to Aditi Shorewal, Communications Lead for Tinder in India and Korea, Gen Z doesn’t believe in the whole “out of sight means out of heart” thing. “For a generation that values authenticity, distance can actually deepen connections and make relationships more meaningful,” she adds.
