Travel Trends Not Scams

Tourism and leisure are marching forward proving to be recognizable forces in the global economy. The industry is changing where factors like environment, technology, globalization, and a number of other things affect the market. What I am referring to are travel trends not scams, and being able to recognize these travel trends and adjust accordingly is what will separate those that are in the industry. Certain companies have specifically segmented their markets into niches in order to gain advantage with a particular group, just another way the changing tides are being used to ones advantage.

If you went to Google’s search engine and entered travel trends 2008 you will find a list of credible company sites whose occupations are to track the trends of the travel industry year by year. They give an in depth analysis through the use of surveys, the latest news and prior data to come up with the year’s industry projections.

All of these sources have noted that the economy has slowed down a bit. But even with this, travel is still projected to continue only with the length of stay being shortened by perhaps a day or two off of normal vacations.

For those that plan to venture abroad, more travel will be done in places where the dollar is strongest. Latin America and Asia’s smaller countries are attractive to many because of this reason as opposed to Europe where things are much more expensive. People will continue to travel but will look for more cost effective ways to make it happen.

But where will people seek to find related travel information? Yep, you are correct, the internet. Data and research shows that 83% use the internet to research and purchase travel. That is a lot. So basically, between 8 and 9 people out 10 use technology for their travel research. America has over 300 million people. You do the math.



Big companies and tycoons take note of these trends and value their importance. They realize that some have environmental concerns which can’t be overlooked, hence eco-tourism. They know that baby boomers are 70% of the U.S net worth and are looking to take cruises, go to spas, and to resorts. Research companies have been contacted and they’ve reported to the tycoons that the younger crowd, GenX, will travel abroad more, are more tech savvy, and will spend more money while abroad.

They also have come to know that there is a reason sites like youtube and facebook get over a million visits per day. Be it online or off social networks allow many the opportunities to interact with each other and stay a breast of different things. There is a neighboring city in the state where I live which has built an apartment community specifically targeting the older “well-to-do” crowd. The monthly fee is at least $3500. I’m willing to bet your right arm that the bulk of the members will be because the rich members will tell their rich friends about the place.

Simply go to goolge and enter travel trends 2008 and you will see that these are indeed travel trends not scams conjured up to mislead you. If travel is in your near future or you have a network where travel is prevalent you may want to consider an exciting travel business where you can pay yourself for organizing and doing all of the work.
