The report also revealed that "50% of global travelers book restaurant reservations before booking their flights, which really emphasizes how much travelers are [prioritizing] food and beverage experiences."

Hilton also coined a new emerging travel group, "frollegues" which is when friends who are colleagues book trips together.
