As travellers, we’re now more savvy and time-precious than ever before. We love short city breaks more than two weeks in the sun and prefer living like a local to holing up in hotels. Our holiday habits have changed dramatically, but how has our approach to booking a vacation shifted?

Be Right Back is a UK travel site that organises randomly generated weekend trips as part of a monthly subscription package. With Gen Y's sense of adventure being slightly stifled by choice, services that can make the hard decisions for them are becoming more popular.

Two-thirds of US holidaymakers say they’ve been stressed out by ‘information overload’ when planning a trip, and 27% of Britons agree that arranging a holiday is taxing. Hoping to ease such anxieties, American Express has bought travel assistant app Mezi to take the chore out of the process.
