recent study3, Holiday Hypermarket reports that, “the average adult will have
travelled to eight more countries by the time they are 40 in comparison with their
parents”. But the frequency of the trips is not the only way Millennials differ from
the previous generations. Indeed, the length and style vary too. When the X
generation’s trip used to last two weeks, the Y generation’s average trip length is
close to two months4. This change is mainly due to the purpose and experience
Millennials are seeking when traveling. According to the MDG report, travel is
seen as “an extension of their education, used to learn a new language or gain
experience”. When travelling abroad, Millennials also seek for a real cultural
immersion into the locals’ life and their customs and traditions. Indeed, according
the AirBnB “How We Travel” report, 81%5 of Millennials declared that the best
way to learn about a place is to meet locals and/or live like them.
