While Gen X and baby boomers logically think kicking back is the best part of vacation, that’s not the case for their younger counterparts.
A new Talker Research poll commissioned by Apple Vacations shows that while 51% of Gen X, and 57% of boomers think relaxing is the best part of vacation, 29% of Gen Z and 30% of millennials think it’s a “waste of time.”
This isn’t to say those younger people don’t like vacations: 54% of Gen Z and 45% of millennials prioritize having memorable experiences while on vacay. In fact, Millennials are the most travel-focused, with 38% calling it a priority vs. an average of 28% for Americans of all ages; Gen Z is also above-average, with 35% prioritizing travel.
That said, 59% of those polled agreed their priorities have changed when it comes to vacation as they’ve gotten older, from seeking adventure to seeking a good chill.
