The flood of younger travelers is changing the DNA of travel behavior more than ever before. From mobile shopping, booking, and trip sharing, to accommodation and supplier-vs-OTA preferences this key group of travellers stands out more than any other segment.

What role does social play in travel decisions? Brandie Wright’s presentation will highlight Phocuswright’s latest consumer travel data with a special focus on key youth-driven travel trends.
