Abstract

The economic impact of youth travel is often underestimated. Youth expenditure is more likely to benefit local economies, given that travellers in this market segment are more inclined to travel off the beaten track and, therefore, to spend in non-tourist areas.

Young people are generally more adventurous than older travellers, and therefore play a crucial role in the development of a destination’s tourism product. Studies also show that once a young person becomes an avid traveller, he or she carries this throughout their lifetime.

This report examines key trends and changes that have occurred in the global youth travel market, with an emphasis on young people’s tourism behaviour and habits.
