The term “bucket list” has been around for decades. The idea that you need to complete all the items on your list before you “kick the bucket” is a motivator for many adults past middle age. Since 2020 and the global pandemic, there’s been an even greater emphasis on travel bucket lists. Coming out of the pandemic, people were ready to make up for lost time and travel the world, take risks, and go places that they didn’t consider before. The industry affectionately coined this surge in travel, “revenge travel”.
We are starting to see this peak wane slightly and travel is settling into a new normal which is still slightly above pre-pandemic levels in terms of volume. But what we are not seeing is a decrease in exotic travel or luxury travel. Joining the Silent Generation and the Baby Boomers, Gen X-ers and Millennials are prioritizing higher quality travel through luxury stays, far-flung locales, and an increased duration in trip length bringing the average age of the luxury traveler down. Simply put, travelers want to maximize their time off and their investment by having high quality, impactful travel experiences with less regard for their stage in life or socio-economic status.
