Baby boomers love to travel. Even with some pundits saying that the Baby Boomer generation isn’t prepared for their retirement, isn’t saving enough, is having to work longer than expected, and many other somewhat depressing headlines, in January of this year, the U.S. Travel Association reported that Boomers make up thirty-six percent of all leisure travelers and thirty-eight percent of all business travelers every year. So it would appear that the Baby Boomers still manage to finance their travel even if they may not be able to finance their eventual retirement.

Different from the other nations, baby boomers of Vietnam were born from 1975 to 1985 and at the generating period now

In Vietnam, baby boomers were born from 1975 to 1985 with the population of over 30 millions now and are the most working people. These baby boomers families normally consist of 2 grand parents, parents (who are baby boomers) and 2 grand children who are listed up to be the 2nd Baby Boomers in Vietnam now. In Vietnam, Baby boomers are bringing the new way of life: To enjoy life with traveling. They bring the new breath to Vietnam tourism and developments which is different from the previous generations who normally get the paid holidays in government hostel and never get out of their nation.

In the world, anytime a group of Baby Boomers get together, the conversation inevitably turns to travel – who’s been where lately, which cruise line has the best buffet, and where the best golf course are. There are even conversations about zip lining and skydiving and where to rent or buy the latest in scuba gear. If there is a favorite travel pastime among the Baby Boomer travel set, it is probably cruising. They love taking the scenic tours to the Panama Canal, the Mediterranean, Italy and Greece. Even Alaska and whale watching are extremely popular with these intrepid travelers.

There is a fact in Vietnam that all the couple tends to have 2 kids and we have around 1 million more people added to country population and it is said that the 2nd Baby Boomer generation in Vietnam is getting born, leading the country future into a repeated action every 30 years.

Glocal Baby Boomers seem to just have a passion for the exotic when it comes to traveling, with almost sixty percent of all Boomers having their passport waiting and ready so they can leave at a moment’s notice. There are seven current trends in Boomer travel that are pretty popular right now in the world as well as in Vietnam:

• Eco-tourism – these green trips are targeted to Baby Boomers with a love for the environment. These trips include hiking, bird watching, nature walks, observing waterfalls, and whale watching and counting. Many Baby Boomers care about world sustainability and protecting the environment and endangered species. By 2020, more than 1.6 billion trips are predicted to take place by the UN World Tourism Organization.

• Adventure Travel – this category of travel is quickly growing and is predicted to continue this scale of growth for the foreseeable future. Adventure travel includes sky diving, snorkeling, cycling, skiing, hiking, and scuba diving. The feeling behind the rise in Baby Boomer activity in this travel category is that Baby Boomers have spent their lifetime watching others participate in these activities and now they want their turn.

These trips are most often arranged around family milestones such as a birthday, a graduation or anniversary. The difference between today’s Boomer grandparents and those of previous generations is that today the trip is more likely to be to Europe than to Disneyworld, because the Baby Boomer grandparents are veteran travelers themselves.

• Medical Tourism – Baby Boomers are more than willing to travel to find the healthcare they need, especially cosmetic surgery and some of the surgeries which are more expensive in the United States such as organ transplants.
