## What is the Juvenilized Travel trend?

**Juvenilized Travel:** As the number of families flying for travel increases, brands are adapting to younger demographics with marketing and services that make the experience more applicable and fun. Looking to draw in demographics that travel in larger groups and with small children, the marketing and services instill a pleasurable experience to positively affect child travelers for continued patronage when they grow up. This youth-centric approach deviates from the norm of a market that predominantly targets adults for an increase in demographic reach.
