With the growing number of millennials in the working spheres, the working environments are experiencing a steady change throughout the world. With shorter work timings to more flexible working routines, the millennials are changing the rules of the game. An important factor in this trend to be considered is the change in perspective towards stability and settling. The new generation does not want a safe like like their parents did, they want a life of uncertainty and adventure.
As more and more people buy into the above mentioned perspective, the travel industry booms. People are now travelling more than ever before and spending more than ever before on travel. It is apt to notice that the most extravagant of these travellers are millennials. If you too are amongst the people who keep wanting to travel but are bound by the restrictions of your career, maybe you could consider travel as a profession!
