Page 22
Millennial are growing upFamily traveller• Upper end of the cohort are having
families• They also become more value
conscious adopting a 'trading up, trading down' philosophy.
• Food in particular continues to be a driver for Millennial when they travel - and as parents they are also very conscious of nutritional choices for their families

Page 24
Millennial are growing upBusiness traveller
• Now entering the core business traveller market• Already account for a third of spending on
business flights. Predicted to grow to half by 2020. Expect the same will be true of spending on accommodation.
• Millennials– value authenticity and experiences even
in business travel – want LOCAL– have also been willing to pay for a
superior experience. • 60% of Millennial business travellers had paid a
premium for services:– those that improve the smoothness of
their trip – that enable them to customize the
experience to their personal needs – or that support their appetite for
technology.
• They have also grown up valuing co-operative environments. This has increasingly been reflected in their working lives.
– They want spaces to collaborate and share.
