These April 2016 world trends range from curated adventure travel services to district discovery apps that are designed to appeal to curious tourists with an appreciation for sensory dining and shopping experiences.
When examining niche travel offerings, this month's notable examples include social travel services and virtual time travel apps that are more geared toward tech fans with a limited budget. Other standouts include self-serve airport luggage kiosks and connected transit buses that feature a complimentary wi-fi service for passengers. These particular examples speak to society's growing desire for convenient travel solutions and are geared toward on-the-go and connected Millennials.
Other April 2016 world trends include ultra luxe accommodation examples like self-cleaning airplane bathrooms and even luxury hotel farmers markets that offer fresh food fare to traveling foodies.
