Traveler
Even the way consumers approach traveling is evolving. In fact, travelers are becoming more environmentally
conscious.According to Booking.com, more than half seek sustainable options but have difficulty finding them.
This gap represents a massive opportunity for brands to step up to the plate and support eco-friendly initiatives
through sustainable products. And travelers are seeking more than just green options. They also look for authentic
local experiences, convenience, and long-term trips.
Online sales in the travel industry
increased by more than 10% in
2018, amounting to $694.41 billion
spent. Coupled with the declining
cost of air travel over the last three
decades, a more mobile consumer
means tons of niche audiences to
tap into, from the frequent business
traveler to the remote worker
struck with wanderlust.
