The Rise of Experience-Driven Travel

Luna Travel Agency has noticed a shift in what travelers want:
  • Younger travelers are booking experiences over traditional sightseeing (cooking classes, cultural workshops, eco-adventures).
  • Families are seeking “bleisure” trips — combining business with leisure stays.
  • Many guests ask about sustainable travel options, such as hotels with green certifications or tours that support local communities.
  • Technology plays a growing role — travelers expect to book and manage everything from mobile apps, often relying on social media reviews before deciding.
Luna’s hospitality partners (hotels, restaurants, and attractions) are struggling to keep up. Some hotels focus only on lowering prices, while others experiment with unique packages — such as farm-to-table dining, behind-the-scenes museum tours, or wellness retreats. Luna asks its interns (hospitality and tourism students) to analyze which trends matter most for long-term growth.

#3
Why might hotels that focus only on lowering prices struggle in the current travel market?


#4
Which approach BEST positions a hotel for long-term success in responding to current travel trends?
