Pleasure Travellers
The pleasure travel market is dominated by the leisure travel sector which encompasses trips such as vacations, treatments, pilgrimage, weddings, stag/hen parties etc. Traveling and hotels cater to this market segment by offering specialised amenities such as spas, gyms, bars, restaurants, conference rooms etc.
Travelers are often price sensitive and look for the best deal and value when it comes to a hotel stay. Travelers usually book their stay in a hotel by following an online search or by contacting a travel agent.
Accommodation type varies depending on how a person is travelling, for example; families and groups will usually choose to stay in hotels or Airbnb (entire property rental). Hostels are popular with budget travelers and can sometimes offer experiences such as pub-crawls, discounted tickets to local attractions etc. Alternatively, Airbnb offers private homes for a more unique experience and has a category called Airbnb Plus that verifies properties to offer guests a higher level of quality control.
