New trends in tourism

The trends are influenced by the situation of economy in the country.
Travelling is today a (Grundbedürfniss) for everybody and also the Euro makes travelling easy.

There are two groups in society.
The first one has enough money and a good work but not enough time.

The other group has enough time but no money and no job.
People are looking at prices and compare it with other prices. Everybody wants a good price and also a good service, so it is difficult for hotel owners to satisfy the customers.

Trends:

Nowadays older people are travelling more.
The owner of hotels has to conform (anpassen)? their hotels to this age group.

A new trend is “Alpine Wellness”. You can ski and snowboard but there also alternatives programs, for example hiking or the hotels offer a toboggan run.

In Japan, Germany, Australian and in many other countries there are ski-halls with artificial snow, there you have the possibility to climb on ice or you can do inline skating and other activities.

Wellness is also a new trend. For the most people it is import to do something for the health and beauty. There are many fitness and anti-aging programs which are offered.

Nowadays there are more short trips than holidays which last two or three weeks.

VFR (Visit Friends and Relatives) has also become a more important trend.
