These innovations are changing the way travelers get around the globe

Share

(Newser) – A hotel room in Paris for two? Trés passé! Travelers these days, says Forbes, are changing it up. The latest trends include:

  1. More hybrid vehicle rentals
  2. High-end hotels renting villas
  3. More travel by private jet

  1. "Togethering," or multigenerational travel
  2. Chartered yachts—now with Jacuzzis and plasma TVs
  3. Adult-only hotels and restaurants
  4. An employee entourage
  5. Less vacation time, alas
  6. Luxury travel consultants
  7. Camping without roughing it
