WANNA GETAWAY?

Milleinnials will spend 5,000, or in some cases more, on their dream getaway.  The largest age cohort in American History travels thirty five days a year.  The generation that follows them, Gen Z, is just behind them traveling twenty nine days a year.  (Who gets that much vacation time?) 

Where do these two generations get their ideas for their time away?  90% of both cohorts say that Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat are their sources for vacation ideas.  These two groups spend about 25% of their travel budget on flights.  They're very budget conscious when it comes to where they'll sleep at night.

Generation X, the smallest age cohort, is the group that travels the least only spending 26 days away from the grind.
