It starts to make financial sense once you dig in.

Twice a month, we report on:

  • Emerging trends at the intersection of the experiential economy, consumer behavior, and technology.

  • Insider scoops on who’s making waves in art, design, wellness, travel, fashion, and more.

This week’s roundup includes:

  • The rise of “buddymoons” and why couples are bringing friends on their honeymoons.

  • A surf retreat designed for high achievers.

  • Luxury residential buildings organizing field trips for their tenants to stand out in a crowded market.

  • Grindr’s ambitions to become a travel app.

  • A Picasso-esque abstract stovetop espresso maker that is actually functional and that’s topping our wishlist.

Plus, a sh*t ton more: AI travel influencers and dating bots (yes, it’s as sad as it sounds), TOURISTS democratizing access to their culty brand through licensing of small cabins, and a genius partnership between a hotel and a beloved local bagel shop. That last one is a shining example for us all in the hospitality industry showcasing the art of making a unique collaboration come to life.

Consumer, Travel, and Experiential Economy Trends to Pay Attention to This Week
