The millennial traveller: Separating fact from fiction

“An instant generation that is always online, relies on the Internet for everything, and wants everything ... like, right now!” That’s what has been commonly thought of millennial travellers.

Because of that they apparently tend to do everything online. They are also said to share everything on social media platforms whether its Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, and they must “check-in” everywhere they go. If it wasn’t Facebooked or Instagrammed, it didn’t happen. As such, they want to be connected all the time. They are also off-the-beaten-track travellers and want to see everything, not as a tourist, but the way a local would. They also go by the “Yolo” or “You only live once” principle. And they depend a lot on online peer reviews.
