Gen X is changing up their vacation game. With their kids growing up and leaving home, they’re opting for solo trips or vacations with friends instead of family getaways. Over 60% of Gen Xers say they’re booking trips mainly to escape daily stress, which is more than any other generation. The rise in solo and friend-based travel reflects their new life stage, with more free time and fewer family obligations. Plus, financial pressures and divorces might be pushing them towards budget-friendly, self-focused travel. Overall, it’s all about finding personal relaxation and fun in their vacations.
