Introduction
She rushed to the gate of the airport, trying to catch her breath , then suddenly
she realized she left her passport at home. This is one of the typical scenarios at
the airport, now that people travel more often.
Lately, travelling has become a trend. A trend that everybody seems to enjoy yet it
costs a lot. However, if you give a sum of money to numerous people, they would
spend it differently. For instance, some may spend it on materials, some may spend
it on vacation and some may spend it on personal matters. Sometimes, the way they
spend indicates the type of age group they�re in.
Although other generations prefer not to travel, millennials became the top
consumers of the travel expense because they value experience, freedom and
adventure.
1.1 Background of the study
The researchers aim to discuss and elaborate certain points to answer lingering
questions in the readers' psyche.
1.1.1 Origin of generations
There is no doubt people lived a million years ago, so to classify and organize
them, we put them into groups called generation. Now, what are generations ?
According to LifeCourse (2020), they define generation as, " the aggregate of all
people born over a span of roughly twenty years, or about the length of one phase
of life." With that said, let's define each generation. First, the Silent
Generation. This generation are those who grew up or lived during the year 1925 -
1945; they are perceived as hardworking, appreciative, and complying. Second, the
Baby Boomers. They were born during the years of 1946 - 1964. They are perceived as
competitive, disciplined, and mentally focused. On the other hand, the Baby bust
generation was born in the years of 1965 - 1979. This generation is more likely to
be self - reliant, impatient, and self - fulfilled than any other generations.
Then, Xennials. This generation was born in 1975 - 1985, and they value
responsibility and adaptability. Next, Millennials. This generation was born in
1980 - 1994. They are confident, ambitious, and achievement - oriented. Lastly,
Generation Z. They're born in 1995 - 2012. They are entrepreneurial, independent,
and autonomous.
