Millennials are getting old. The first generation to experience the internet is aging and the first batch recently hit their early 40s. As millennials get older, their preferences are changing and that includes the way they travel.
Older millennials, also dubbed geriatric millennials, are especially different when it comes to making travel preparations. They’re planning for trips earlier, spending more time finding travel deals, and opting for more inclusive opportunities like cruises and resorts.
Even more so, geriatric millennials are handpicking the best destinations for them based on their travel needs. Here is a satirical list of places to consider traveling to for geriatric millennials looking to get away, unwind, and relax.
