A new travel trend has also emerged, called 'B-leisure' or 'Bizcation' which combines business and leisure trip. According to a report by Expedia, millenials were estimated to spend approximately 35 days a year on travel, whether it be leisure or business. Living by the mantra of "YOLO" - you only live once, and inspired heavily by social media, millennial travellers are driven by unique travel experiences. Experiences are the mantra of young India and so instead of sightseeing coach tours, millennials demand different, unique experiences like hiking in Sicily's famous Mt. About 60 per cent of young millennials between the age group 19-34, consider business travel an indicator of professional growth and as a status symbol.
