— March 20, 2016 — World
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.
