Accommodation New Zealand introduces
Gen Z and Millennial travelers redefine Spring Break, focusing on sober activities. A study by EF Ultimate Break, a leader in experiential travel for Gen Z, reveals that 68% of university-aged travelers (18–22 years old) are opting for sober Spring Break activities, showing a significant 9-point increase over Millennials (ages 23-35).
The study also highlights that most university-aged travelers prioritize learning about the cultures, people, and places they visit as their primary reason for traveling internationally. Other top reasons include relaxation by the pool or beach, meeting new people, engaging in both social and cultural activities, volunteering, and partying, which ranks last.
Responding to these insights, EF Ultimate Break is introducing its first collection of sober-focused Spring Break tours for college students in destinations like Costa Rica, Thailand, and Egypt.
