  • Over half of Gen Z adults are frequent travelers, with 61% earning less than $50,000 annually;
  • Unlike previous generations, they prioritize values over costs when booking trips, considering factors like companies' treatment of employees and sustainability practices;
  • Additionally, they prioritize adventure, mental health benefits, and cultural experiences, often exploring new destinations for longer periods.
