These broad-based states of mind have parallels with trends in the travel industry and are guiding trip behaviors. The need for intentionality in spending, tension between local and global connections, and a sense of overwhelm are outputs of the current economic and societal realities, contributing to a prioritization of travel despite challenges.

Meanwhile, a renewed desire to live life to its fullest and embrace bold self-expression are energizing people to pursue unforgettable experiences. Learn more about these insights and discover what travel brands are doing to leverage these behaviors when you download the full deck.
