Research from ADARA reveals Millennials across America are travel influencers willing to spend on great experiences.
New global research from travel data platform ADARA reveals that Millennials in America are disrupting traditional models for travel. They are dedicated travelers with 2 in 3 (67%) prioritizing travel above any other expense, but are savvy bargain hunters with a penchant for luxuries. They are more likely to book through intermediaries and are less likely to be in loyalty programs as they currently exist.
The study looked to expose the travel habits of Millennials using focus groups and research to compare attitudes and behaviors among 18 to 34 year olds and 35+ year olds. ADARA also leveraged first-party insight into millions of every day travel transactions across Europe, Asia Pacific and America. The research shows that 96% love to travel to new places and the majority agree that travel involves new experiences and going off the beaten track (94% and 74%, respectively).
The research also shows that when compared to their older counterparts, Millennials in the US are more likely to use digital resources, such as review sites (38% vs. 20% among those 35+) to plan and book their travel – proving that marketers need to adapt their campaigns to reach this audience.
