What are the opportunities on the European Generation X tourism market?

Generation X are often referred to as the ‘forgotten generation’ because there is limited research on this population and less knowledge about their likes and dislikes. Gen X have many characteristics that make them an appealing market. There are 165.7 million Gen Xers living in Europe. Many have families, some with children that are starting to leave home, so they want to prioritise family time now. Some Gen Xers have no children and a dual income, others are retiring and have more time for travel. It is important that businesses understand Gen X and know how to target this valuable market.
