This document discusses future trends in travel, including which market segments will travel the most and innovations in transportation. It predicts that global executives, active elders, cosmopolitan commuters, and global clans will drive increased travel. New modes of transportation like hypersonic planes, private space tourism, larger cruise ships, and microjets are discussed. The future of travel is predicted to include more destinations, specialized niche travel, short "flash" trips, health-focused trips, and eventually space travel and virtual travel experiences through advanced technology.

1. Travel
Innovation
and Future
Trends

3. Following Market segments that
will travel the most:
Global Executive
Active Elders
Cosmopolitan
Commuters
Global Clans

4. Global Executive
They are the Elite business
travellers that want a private
jet-type experience,
predominantly from emerging
economic markets which will
see significant growth in the
next decade

8. The future
 More people will travel
 New destination will emerge
 Special-interested travel will increase
 “Flash” travel will grow
 Health oriented travel will be popular
 Space travel will become reality
 Technology will enhance travel in ways we
cant imagine

9. More people will travel
 Although, occasional, disturbing events
can reduce travel dramatically, within a
year or two it will almost certainly come
back and exceed previous levels.
 The urge to travel has become a
powerful one, not easily deterred
 In fact, many experts believe that travel
never abates; it merely changes.

10. New destination will emerge
 There are places out there right now,
that you’ve never heard of that will
be hugely popular in a decade or
two.
 And some that are extremely
popular today will eventually lode
their luster and become passé.

11. Special-interested travel
will increase
 The “global village” we now live in permits
people in diverse place but with common
interests to communicate easily.
 Tie this to the fact that today’s travelers
often define themselves by their product
selection and have a surge of special-interest
travel.
 Special-interest travel is often called niche
travel

12. “Flash” travel will
grow
 Flash travel refers to short trips that
consumer buys after a pop-up ad, e-mail
offer, blog recommendation, or other
electronic message.
 Flash travel purchases tend to be quick,
inexpensive, inexpensive getaways that are
the result of a spur-of-the- moment
decision.

13. Health oriented travel will
be popular
 The desire to get away from it all
and visit calming, healthy places
will become even greater.

14. Space travel will become
reality
 Already a few very rich individuals
have travelled into space on Russian
rockets.
 Suborbital flights may soon be
possible, permitting people to travel
from London to New York City in less
than an hour.

15. Technology will enhance
travel in ways we cant
imagine
 Picture this: You are thinking of going to a Carribean
resort.
 You go to the internet.
 She ask for permission to use your avatar
 You email it to her
 Then there you are, at the each of the two resort,
lying by the pool, dinning at a wonderful buffet,
dancing the night away. Its like a TV show, hosted
by the travel agent starring you.

16. Space Travel
 Billionaire entrepreneur Richard
Branson’s space tourism venture, Virgin
Galactic and the National Aeronautic Space
Administration have announced plans to
activate hypersonic travel between earth-based
cities.
The Cosmo Plane will be a successor to
the Concorde and will make adventurous
travellers to go further and faster.

17. Hypersonic speeds are five times the
speed of sound.
An Aircraft flying that fast could
theoretically reach London from New
York in less than an hour. This will need
the planes to fly at extreme altitudes
necessary for hypersonic travel.

18.  A “ budget rocket” is being developed by
PayPal founder of the internet financial
services.
 The 68-foot booster rocket called Falcon has
already blasted off from the Kwajalein Atoll in
the Marshall Islands and successfully arrived in
space minute later.
This is the forerunner of a re-usable launch
vehicle that will take tourists into space by
2012.

19. Virgin Galactic is planning to have
passenger service on its first spaceship, the
VSS Enterprise.
With its inaugural launch in 2008 and the
main flights in 2009, the first 100 people will
pay $200,000, the next 900 people will pay
between $100,000 and $175,000 and everyone
after that will pay $20,000.
Virgin Galactic will be the first private space
tourism company to regularly send civilians
into space by training them for 3 days before
launch.

20. Constellation Services International and
Space Adventures Ltd.
Are working to send manned spacecraft
on commercial circumlunar missions by
2008.
Their offer would include a week-long
stay at their Space Hotel, the ISS and a trip
around the moon.
The initial price would be $100 million
but will soon reduce as re-useable
transport is developed

the future.
