As summer travel trends shift, one truth remains: the more personalized and immersive the experience, the more likely guests are to return. In today’s uncertain marketplace, travelers are booking later and staying for shorter periods, often Thursday through Sunday rather than a full week. With rising costs and global events weighing on decision-making, guests are opting for quick getaways — and looking for meaningful experiences to make the most of them.
Despite the uncertainty, outdoor adventure remains a strong draw. According to the Outdoor Industry Association, the U.S. outdoor recreational economy is worth $887 billion annually and according to CRR Hospitality, outdoor adventure tourism is projected to grow by 15.3% annually through 2033.
