2. • What do we look for
when we travel? An
escape? A breath of new
experiences, or to see a
new and different way of
life?
• While the corners of the
globe shrink and all
blank spaces of the map
fill in, what changes is
how we travel.

3. • Millennials are the largest demographic since the baby
boomers of the 1950s.
• Roughly grouped as people ages 16-34, Millennials represent
a societal shift, a realignment of perspective, and It should
come as no surprise that this change affects their leisure time.

4. New services have cropped up
within the last year, each
espousing the ideals supported
by this outspoken generation.

5. • Of these concepts,
ridesharing, apartment or
home renting, and travel
dating have each grown
from obscurity to the main
stream.
• But just how serious is this
trend becoming?

6. • Is this the result of a temporary fad, or have Millennials been able
to change the way vacations are taken?
• By examining the trends, some fascinating facts are unearthed.

7. A N E W WAY T O F LY
• A new service making
the rounds with the
millennials is Airbnb.
• Purposed as an answer
to ever-growing hotel
costs, Airbnb offers
travelers an alternative
by renting apartments
or homes.

8. • Compared to other travelers, over 60% of Millennials
put their faith in this service, finding the personal
touch of a real living space more comfortable than
cookie-cutter hotel rooms.

9. • A vacation is defined as
a trip of over 100 miles
away from home, and
accommodations for
these trips usually run
upwards of $1,000 for a
week’s worth of room
and board.
• Millennials utilizing
Airbnb, however, can
be expected to spend
only $400 for the same
length of stay.

10. • Older millennials with their own families find the services of Airbnb
just as useful.
• Renting a house with several rooms, and more importantly several
bathrooms, affords all the comforts of home without sacrificing cost.

• Once considered a passing fad, services like Uber and Lyft have proven
they are here to stay.
• Choosing the flexible fairs and tap-the-app ease, millennials have
demonstrated that the days of hailing a cab are quickly coming to a
close.

12. • A recent survey of
transportation receipts
revealed the truth of this
trend.
• Uber’s services make up
55% of ground
transportation receipts,
and leave traditional
taxis in the dust at 43%.

13. • While still in its infancy,
Uber offers a bevy of
benefits for both the
passenger and driver.
• Using Uber as part-time
employment, drivers
benefit from having
experience outside the car,
oftentimes being college
educated.

• The world at their
fingertips, Millennials
don’t go anywhere
without their phone.
• With apps for just about
anything from car rides to
dry cleaning, why
wouldn’t there be an app
for finding love?

15. • Though Tinder has a
reputation for being used
solely for hooking up,
many millennials are
finding it a fun way to
travel the world and meet
new people.
• With its recently released
feature Tinder Passport,
users are able to use their
services worldwide to
meet single people in
other countries.

16. • Shifting the focus away from hookups has really opened up the
possibilities of this app.
• Connecting with people across the world enables travelers to get a true
sense of the local color without paying for guided tours.

17. • Visit your new friend’s
favorite restaurant, or go
check out local landmarks
known only to natives.
• Taking the sting out of
traveling alone,
millennials are finding
company on any
continent by using this
simple app.

people evolved in
new and fascinating
directions.
• This, literally, is not
your grandmother's
way to travel.

and adapt to advances, millennials will
continue to shape the trends of tomorrow,
today.
