Millennials and Gen Zers increasing interest in travel and hobbies is creating huge opportunities for the travel goods market.
Looks like millennials and Gen Zers view travel and hobbies more than just recreational activities. According to an internal survey by EF Ultimate Break, "finding a new hobby" and "booking a trip" are among the top three ways 18 to 29-year-olds create new friendships in lieu of social media and dating apps. The local bar scene topped the list, although not by a wide margin.
The company, which specializes in designing travel itineraries for college student and young professionals, also noted that social experiences such as these "create natural, authentic opportunities for young people with similar interests to find and connect with each other." These activities tend to shape their lives for the better and can leave positive imprints that last longer.
All told, such preferences create a huge potential for the travel goods market, considering that the age bracket is among the biggest spenders when it comes to travel.
