Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve read about explosive growth in hostels and other forms of ‘youth-inspired’ travel accommodation in the last few years.
Historically cheap and basic lodging for youth and student travellers, today hostels boast loyal traveller followings on par with those of international hotel chains thanks to the sector’s ability to answer to and cultivate the needs and wants of its core target group: the millennial generation.
WYSE Travel Confederation and STAY WYSE present key findings from this year’s STAY WYSE Flash Survey Series and discuss what lies ahead for hostels in 2016.
Introductory presentation and discussion panel moderated by: David Chapman, Director General, WYSE Travel Confederation.
