The top April 2016 travel ideas highlight the progression toward experience-based travel and the influence of social media culture on traditional vacation habits.
The Hyatt Hotels hospitality brand recently announced an Instagram-inspired travel series that hopes to capitalize on the interest of perfectly capturing each moment of vacation for the social media world. The new series of hotels will cater to the aesthetic-focused consumer and will strive to deliver an experience marked by contemporary design, indulgent amenities and curated one-of-a-kind excursions.
Developed in collaboration between the luxury hotel brand and Google, Jumeirah Inside is an interactive booking platform that allows travelers to take a 360-degree tour of the luxurious suites they wish to book before committing to one in particular.
