Mingling Tours: A New Travel Trend for MZ Generation

Mingling tours, combining 'mingling' and 'tour', are a new travel trend popular among the MZ generation (Millennials and Generation Z in South Korea) who seek a balance between solo and group trips. These tours allow people with similar interests to travel together, offering light programs where participants can enjoy individual time due to a concept called 'appropriate distancing'. These tours align with the MZ generation's preference for flexible and loose relationships, offering unique experiences shared on social media. The trend emerged from small group thematic tours post-pandemic in Japan and Korea, with companies like Hana Tour launching products aimed at the 20s to 30s age group, offering diverse experiences like yoga in Vietnam or freediving tours in Bohol. As the appetite for moderately connected relationships grows, the mingling tours are expected to expand to other demographics, leveraging AI and VR for personalized travel experiences.
