As I flipped through the Travel Industry Association's annual report (sounds boring, I know), a list of travel trends caught my eye. The report said that the following niches are gaining in popularity:
*Babymoons
*Culinary travel
*Destination weddings
*Gen Xers and Millenials
*Girlfriend getaways and Mancations
*GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender)
*Medical/life-enhancement travel
*Procreation vacations
*Travelers with disabilities
*Voluntourism
Some of these I've heard of (voluntourism, girlfriend getaways, destination weddings). But procreation vacations? Babymoons? Travel for medical procedures? Interesting.
Are you or someone you know planning a trip that fits into one of these new categories? Send me an e-mail and tell me about it.
tom and i did a long weekend in florida last spring to spend time together before the baby was born. i would recommend it to anyone, because life as you know it is over once the baby is born. i wouldn't trade life with the baby for anything!!!...it's just different.
