Nostalgic Escape

Adult vacations inspired by childhood let consumers travel back in time

Implications - For some, the ultimate escape is more mental than physical—thus, certain regions are boosting tourism by adding a whimsical element to their attractions, allowing consumers to revisit the more simple times of childhood. These infantile escapes are kid-inspired, yet are meant solely for adults. This provides consumers with a chance for full freedom from grown-up life, encouraging them to let loose and be kids again.
Trend Themes
1. Adult Nostalgia - Businesses can target adult consumers by offering experiences that allow them to relive their childhood, providing a chance for full freedom from grown-up life.
2. Themed Lodging - Businesses can offer unique and visually intriguing lodging spaces, such as those with surrealist, graffiti-inspired, or eco-friendly themes, to attract customers looking for the adventure of a lifetime.
3. Stress Relief Products - In today's fast-moving society, businesses can cater to stressed and busy consumers by offering products or experiences that provide a form of relief from the burden of daily life.
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Tourism - Businesses in the travel and tourism industry can develop niche and theme-based hotels to attract different types of consumers.
2. Fashion and Accessories - Businesses in the fashion and accessories industry can collaborate with artists and designers to create unique and visually appealing products that stand out in the market.
3. Entertainment and Media - Businesses in the entertainment and media industry can leverage the popularity of nostalgic and superhero-inspired themes to create new and exciting experiences for customers.
