Mega Pools
Massive public pools suggest demand to be part of a real community
Implications - As we become more entrenched in our virtual communities, there’s a growing need to be part of a real, physical community. Destinations like mega pools not only provide a fun gathering place but a real-life communal experience. Examples include the Summerland pool, a massive wavepool in Tokyo which is routinely packed with a sea of people, and the pool at San Alfonso del Mar, which is the world's largest -- so large that it accommodates boaters! These pools are not only destinations for travelers, but objects of viral Internet curiosity (our examples constitute two of our most viral trends of the year).
