# 4. Changes in travel trends
The travel industry has been undergoing significant changes in recent years. In the past, package tours had a relatively high share in the travel industry, which played a vital role in popularizing overseas travel. However, with the passage of time, overseas travel has become commonplace, and consumers have accumulated experience. Furthermore, with the availability of various mobile apps, consumers can easily obtain travel information and assistance, resulting in a shift in travel consumption trends towards small-scale travel products with unique content.
The accelerated digital transformation has led to the influx of competitors from various industries into the travel industry, and consumers have a broader range of options. As a result, the revenue structure of travel agencies is undergoing significant changes. Traditional mass-produced package products are losing market dominance to low-priced products targeting older age groups. Instead, content-centered travel products targeting MZ generations are gaining popularity. Consequently, there is a greater need for travel agencies to attract customers through the composition of unique and compelling content in their products.
The global consumer trend is shifting towards health and safety, value-based consumption, and small-scale, safe, and non-face-to-face travel product purchases. This trend indicates a significant change in the structure of the traditional travel industry, highlighting the characteristics of small-group travel with a focus on simplicity, nature, cultural experiences, hobbies, and interests.
The concept of traveling while working is expanding as online work and remote work become the norm. This blurs the boundaries between daily life and travel, increasing the autonomy of travel experiences. In the current pandemic-influenced era, there is a shift in the perception of travel towards individual happiness, with travelers seeking to experience and document their own preferences.
In summary, the travel industry is evolving to meet the changing demands of consumers. Travel agencies need to shift away from traditional standardized travel products and develop innovative products that combine unique stories and content to appeal to consumers. Travel trends are moving towards safe, small-scale, and unique experiences, and the industry needs to adapt to meet these new demands.
