Although traditional package holidays continue to be the most common selection, findings shows that about one-fifth of 25- to 34-year-olds rely on AI tools like virtual planners for trip ideas.

Almost 40% of respondents said they would be willing to allow an virtual helper to book their holidays entirely.

AI Integration Increases

Now, a small but growing share of participants reported they depend on AI for inspiration, up from four percent in earlier research.

Young Holidaymakers and Wellness

The expert commented that if a requirement for going on holiday is wealth, that is "absolutely disgraceful".

Appeals for Oversight in Tourism

The problems with overtourism in Spain and other places were attributed to "unregulated accommodations" rather than major companies.

This included appeals for authorities to clamp down on cases where property managers operate without a tourism licence, health and safety certificate, or correct financial reporting.

When property managers are found to be without the proper documentation and financial records, they face penalties. Non-compliance means legal consequences. Every illegal rentals will be eliminated rapidly.

The conclusion was straightforward: Owners should act responsibly, get registered, and comply with regulations.
