Although consumers have more recreational choices and greater expendable income than ever before, they have less actual leisure time than previous generations. As a result, they are seeking out truly unique experiences that maximize the value of their limited time. Many leisure destinations face increased competition and a greater need to differentiate their offerings to attract customers who have higher expectations and less brand loyalty. Intermediaries and distribution channels are threatened by the Internet, which enables consumers to plan and purchase vacation packages unaided. Those players are looking to reinvent themselves around new operating models.
