Future travel in 2030: how and why we'll do it

If we understand future travel better, we can make better-informed decisions for our businesses today.

Insight into future travellers’ motivations, priorities, needs, technology usage, mindset – you name it – is crucial to shape our products and services, whether you are a leisure travel agent in Amsterdam or a corporate travel manager in San José.

That is why Amadeus worldwide have teamed up with the global consumer trends consultants from The Future Foundation to find out exactly that: what will our future travel landscape look like 15 years from now?

Here’s how to get the most out of this extensive future travel research

• If you haven’t got the time right now: Just check out the infographic
• If you have a bit more time, say, 8 minutes: Read the breakdown on our colleagues’ site
• Make sure you download the report as a .pdf and read it on your computer or tablet when you have got the time. It’s here.

Wait, did you say “a future traveller tribe”?

By talking to leading futurologists, travel industry experts and travellers from around the world, our colleagues from Amadeus worldwide have identified 6 emerging future traveller tribes.

Tribes are an interesting way to describe people. As personality segments, they allow us to describe people’s behaviour better than a strictly demographic approach. It allows travellers to be part of different tribes, depending on the context you find yourself in, personally or professionally, for example.
