Millennials
Millennials are the generation succeeding Gen X. Hotels are adapting to the mobile 24x7 networking generation known as Millennials. Thanks to which, more affordable hotels are getting style upgrades. Millennials crave stylish settings but often lack the deep pockets of baby boomers, accounting for the surge of value-chic brands.
Thrillication
Thrillication is travel with a dose of extreme adventure for the adrenaline junkie. This includes adventure sports with a twist that are sure to give you goosebumps. Activities like snorkelling with the sharks, kayaking with the whales or bungee jumping into an active volcano.
Braggies
Selfies were the biggest trends in 2014 and emerging out of that concept was the ‘braggie’. A braggie is a picture taken and uploaded to social media by a holidaymaker in an attempt to brag about the holidaymaker's exotic surroundings. Typical 'braggies' include a view from the hotel window, the room's bed and the surrounding landscape. Hotels are tapping into this trend of clicking away by offering customers free perks and rewards if they post their photos on to the hotel's Facebook or Instagram accounts.
Techcication
The requirements of the traveller have changed from a good hotel room with comfortable beds to a fully technologically equipped hotel room. Travellers are looking out for hotels that offer free mobile check-ins, WiFi, a good television, automated lights etc to maximise the experience of staying at the hotel. Hotels have gone a step further to work on this front and some are even providing Google Glasses to their in house guests.

Foodcation
Foodcation is a trend where travellers experience the local food culture and delicacies of the place. It could be anything from the deep fried crickets in Bangkok or having the authentic Italian pizza in its place of origin.
Staycation
You’re in need of a vacation but are pressed on time? Then this trend is the one for you. Staycation is an emerging trend for travel enthusiasts, who, due to the barrier of space or time decide to stay at a hotel in the city or close to the city in order to get a break from the hectic daily life. This is for the traveller who basks in the amenities the hotel has to offer.
