‘Botlers,’ ‘braggies’ and the sharing economy: What will travel look like in 2015?

If travel industry experts are correct, next year will see us snapping holiday “braggies,” eating dinner at a local’s house, being served by a “Botler” and, more than likely, heading to Asia.
Singapore, Thailand and Japan are among top destination picks for next year, while world-class sports events like the 2015 Rugby World Cup will also see fans flocking to host nation England.

Vayable connects travelers with locals offering everything from a night photography tour of Paris to kayaking in Auckland to a tour of Kibera, Africa’s largest slum.
Services like these are forecast to become some of the fastest growing areas in the travel industry over the next few years, fueled by the public’s appetite for authentic experiences and connections with local people.
