Hilton Looks Forward to 2024

Hilton's third-annual Trends Report spotlights the consumer trends that are anticipated to define travel in the year ahead and digs deeper into generational insights driving industry innovation. Following a global survey of more than 10,000 travelers from nine countries, online video diaries with 60 U.S. travelers and in-depth interviews with dozens of Hilton travel experts, four themes emerged, which are expected to be the catalysts of change and innovation for Hilton and the broader travel industry in 2024 and beyond.
