Travel in the Time of Trump - Seite 2

As 2016 comes to a close, Travel-Intel looks at what's coming online next year in the cruise industry and as such global shipyards as Fincantieri, Meyer Werft, Meyer Turku and STX France release their latest newbuild ship designs. With more than 24 million passengers expected to take a cruise in 2017, the article checks out a new survey revealing what's hot and what's not for consumers in their cruising preferences.

Finally, a formerly overlooked type of traveler is getting noticed these days as a rising trend in the travel industry: the solo traveler. A 2015 study by VISA found that solo travelers doubled their numbers between 2013 and 2015 and have some very specific interests for what they want in a vacation. Travel-Intel looks at these preferences and then offers some sumptuous choices for solo-friendly trips for lone wanderers to consider.

Travel-Intel is written by travel industry journalists and focuses on changing trends in travel. Stories come from a variety of places and perspectives, including intel from travel industry conferences and expos, or first person experiences at popular hotels, exotic resorts, cruise ships and ports, and destinations near and far. Current issues and archives can be viewed at www.travel-intel.com.

"Covering travel is like covering politics. It is always changing, for better or worse, and consumers need to know what the landscape looks like in order make informed choices," says Lark Gould, content editor for Travel-Intel.
