1. How we travel today: Away from mass tourism
Vacationers no longer want crowded beaches or standard routes. They are dividing into new, more conscious groups. If regions understand this, they can make better offers.
Two new types of vacationers
The data clearly shows: The trend is towards relaxation and very special experiences on site.
Relaxed Explorers (JOMO)
"Joy of missing out" – The joy of consciously missing out on things. These guests are looking for insider tips, nature, wellness and places that are not overcrowded.
Event Hunters
These guests don't just travel to the sea in August, but specifically book their vacation for a city festival, a concert or a local event.

2. The app as a smart travel companion
A good tourism app today is more than just a digital map. It's a game, a travel guide and a signpost. These features get guests to use the app over and over again.

3. The Result: More money stays in the region
The main goal of the TeddyToury platform is to benefit local businesses. Through the app, tourists book and buy directly on site again.
The Trend: Direct Bookings vs. External Portals
Digital stamp cards and playful apps lead vacationers to book directly with the host or restaurant much more often.
