At least, as soon as a person steps beyond security. It offers yoga and pilates classes to relax travelers pre-flight. Initiated by Finnish airport management company Finavia, the Helsinki Airport TravelLab Project also offers a "Finnish-themed backdrop where travelers can take their selfies, pop-up restaurants that give diners a “Taste of Finland,” a crash-course on Finnish coffee culture and more," according to Psfk. Together, these features will provide both an air of relaxation and excitement. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wellness Travel:** Opportunity for the travel industry to incorporate wellness experiences into their offerings. - **Experiential Marketing:** Opportunity for brands to create immersive and memorable experiences for travelers. - **Cultural Immersion:** Opportunity to showcase and promote local culture and traditions to travelers. ### Where This Applies - **Travel and Tourism:** Opportunity to enhance the travel experience by incorporating wellness activities, cultural elements, and unique dining options. - **Fitness and Wellness:** Opportunity to introduce yoga and pilates classes in non-traditional locations to cater to travelers' needs. - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity to create pop-up restaurants that offer a taste of local cuisine and promote food culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Airport Sleep Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-dimensions.md) - [Experiential Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heathrow-airport.md) - [Airport Terminal Activewear Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lululemon-heathrow-terminal-5.md) - [Stress-Free Holiday Lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-oasis-lounge.md) - [Stylish Airport Lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clubhouse.md) - [Revamped Airline Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finnair.md) - [Feature-Rich Airport Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byair-app.md) - [Sensory-Friendly Airport Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensoryfriendly-space.md) - [Hydration-Focused Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-works-x-liverpool-airport.md)
