MIAMI - Latin American travelers are increasingly looking for vacations that offer more than sightseeing and luxury accommodations. They want fewer decisions, greater flexibility, and opportunities to disconnect from everyday stress, according to Marriott International's latest annual travel trends study.
The survey, conducted among frequent travelers in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, found that 90% of respondents consider vacations an essential investment in their mental health rather than a discretionary luxury. That figure rises to 96% among frequent travelers.
