Millennials, also known as Generation Y, are widely defined as any individual born between the years 1980 and 1996. According to Pew Research Center, as of 2019, there were approximately 83.1 million millennials in the United States. This generation has quickly surpassed the Baby Boomers and is now the largest living generation in our country. Millennials differ vastly from their preceding generation. They are often coined for being tech-savvy, attention-craving, progressive, creative, and unafraid to challenge authority or the status quo. Being born into the age of technology, Millennials are plugged in and connected with each other at all times via the power of social media and smart devices. This has led to many staple characteristics such as being a generation that is more socially aware, environmentally conscious, and adventurous. The internet and social media have allowed Millennials to see glimpses into all parts of the world and the ability to get these destinations at the touch of a fingertip. Thankfully for the travel industry, Millennials love a good trend and content for their Instagram or YouTube channels. Millennials view traveling as an important part of their lives and look to experience other cultures and places authentically but at a bargain. Image is everything and Millennials want to appear to have experienced the highest of luxuries while traveling but not pay high luxury costs. Recreating luxury travel experiences to fit the demands of this generation has been the challenge of the travel industry and is ultimately reshaping travel for everyone. Traditional luxury travel experiences focused on five-star hotels and resorts, all-inclusive cruises, and other high-class accommodations. Now, Millennials prefer for their travel experience to be personalized and unique. Having the ability to book experiences directly from smartphones has been a game-changer due to the convenience and customizable features. Older generations were raised on the “you get what you get” concept, whereas Millennials believe in customer control. Shashank Nigam, CEO of SimpliFlying, said “Airline brands that give up control and create offerings that can be easily customizable will rule passengers’ hearts and wallets”.

While Baby Boomers are more likely to travel frequently, Millennials are perhaps traveling for longer periods of time when they do embark on journeys, and Generation Z is here to introduce us to more travel trends and accommodations that are deemed crucial. The process and allure of travel are always changing, but what we do know now is that each generation has directly influenced travel in very particular ways. Millennials have paved the way for personalization and customization in every aspect of travel. As Generation Z begins their takeover, the travel industry will continue to welcome demands that will benefit all travelers.
