“We want everyone to feel able to travel – and to get maximum enjoyment from it when they do – but we know this isn't the reality today.” – Eleanor Dodgson, Virgin Atlantic. Introducing the antidote to normal – ‘From designed for few to designed for all’. Old vs. young, Business vs. Leisure, etc. – the travel industry is riddled with binary stereotypes. With increased fluidity in defining identities and behaviours, and an ageing population, the risk of irrelevance is real. People with disabilities, neurodivergent travellers, guests from underrepresented and marginalised groups, low-income travellers – they all constitute a not-so-silent majority.

Forget one-size-fits-all! Travellers today crave personalised adventures that match their interests. This is where niche travel shines. As a travel founder, I'm obsessed with uncovering these unique pockets of wanderlust. And here are 3 hot niches taking off in 2024: 1. Finding your inner peace: 👉 Spiritual journeys are booming! People are seeking experiences that connect them to their faith and culture. Imagine pilgrimage tours or themed trips around religious festivals. 2. Women on the move: 👉 Women are a travel force! They prioritize safety, comfort, and connection. Enter women-only tours led by female guides. These trips cater to adventure, wellness, and building powerful memories with fellow explorers. 3. Senior globetrotters: 👉 Retirees with time and resources are itching to explore! This niche needs specialized itineraries. Think slower travel with rest stops, cultural immersion instead of marathons, and physical limitations considered. Niche travel isn't a fad, it's about understanding YOU! By catering to these growing passions, you can build a travel business that connects on a deeper level. What niche travel trends excite you? #travel #travelandtourism #travelcompany

McKinsey's recent survey of over 5,000 travelers shows a strong rebound in travel interest post-COVID, with 66% of respondents more eager to travel now than before.

In 2023, they took almost five trips on average, significantly outpacing older generations. This shift highlights a growing prioritization of travel among younger people, who allocate a substantial portion of their income to it.

One major, year-long project that is reflective of our philosophy to advance the industry became a reality today with the release of the #FutureofTravel #MulticulturalTraveler Report produced alongside a group of partners (Share More Stories, Esra Calvert Consulting and JMI) that believe, as we do, that the future of our industry relies on understanding the perspectives of #diverse, and intersectional audiences. Featuring a truly diverse sample of multicultural travelers enabled by the support of our report sponsors, Virginia Tourism Corporation, Miles Partnership and Richmond Region Tourism, we now know that 86% of multicultural travelers share similar emotional needs, values, and drivers; and nearly 80% of diverse travelers ‘always’ or ‘occasionally’ factor in their own identity, culture, or background when looking for trip inspiration. There is #PowerinRepresentation. Read more here, and register for our launch webinar on 1.24.24: https://lnkd.in/gMy73-Bv. We wish all of our partners, clients, and supporters a Happy Holidays, prosperity, and health this season and for 2024.
