Modern nomads

International tourism is one of the world's fastest- growing industries. In 2016, over 1.2 billion people chose to go on holiday abroad. Youth travel is also on the rise – more than 22% of these travellers were between 15 and 29 years old. A recent survey about young people's travel preferences has shown that this trend is likely to continue.

REASONS FOR TRAVELLING

While beach holidays and skiing trips are still popular with young travellers, more than 50% of the participants in the survey said that they had travelled for educational purposes. For 16-year- old Peter Jones from the USA, travelling abroad is a way to practise his language skills. He told researchers that he was studying French at school, but he also wanted to learn Spanish, so he had visited Mexico and Canada several times. Other common reasons why young people travel are to experience new cultures and exploring exotic destinations.

POPULAR DESTINATIONS

Europe remains the top destination, but in recent years travellers have started looking for something new. In search of new experiences, many tourists prefer to go off the beaten track and explore places like Africa and Asia. Others choose a holiday in their home country over foreign travel. Maral Akhmadieva, a 15-year-old student from Kazakhstan, believes that travellers should get to know their own country before going abroad. She said that she had visited all the regions of Kazakhstan by the age of 14 and she would visit China in the near future.

TRANSPORT

Low-cost airlines now offer flights to all parts of the world and 25% of all participants in the survey said that they had chosen to visit a destination because they had found a cheap flight. Another trend in youth travel is booking transport and accommodation online. In the last few decades, new technologies have made travelling cheaper, easier and safer. According to researchers, this is the main reason why the young people of today travel more than previous generations.
