Adventure tourism brands offer slower-paced novice trips for a new wave of travelers
Trend - When vacationing during COVID-19, North Americans are opting for trips that focus on the outdoors. Many of these consumers aren't experienced with outdoor activities like hiking, climbing, or kayaking and want to learn. In response, adventure tourism brands are offering slower-paced trips to accommodate the new surge of travelers.
Insight - The traveling industry has been drastically altered in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The shelter-in-place restrictions and the increased time spent indoors have given many consumers time to reflect on what they want to experience in life–with many finding a preference for outdoor experiences. As "well-being" takes on a new meaning in the era of COVID-19, priorities have shifted with many consumers and they now looking to unplug and reconnect with the natural world.
