These March 2016 world trends range from hotel concierge animals to LGBT cruise events that are hosted in a tropical setting. When it comes to travel, the month's most memorable examples include eco-friendly adventure ships and global excursions that connect those with similar interests and lifestyles. For example, San Diego's Silver Strand Boating Club connects those in the city's LGBT community while exploring a variety of scenic locations.
Additional standouts include commuter-focused examples like commemorative subway passes and proactive transit apps that are designed to make the lives of urban travelers more convenient. Furthermore, these March 2016 world trends also include novelty examples like re-imagined art pieces that are made with GPS screenshots of bike routes from around the globe.
Inclusive emojis round out this collection of world trends and appeal to diverse cultural groups who prefer texting as their main method of mobile communication.
