[Trend Trader Daily] Market-Beating Returns, or Luxury Vacations? October 10, 2023 Hasta luego, readers. In just a few days, my family and I are off to Mexico. We’ll be taking some much-needed R&R at the Garza Blanca Preserve and Resort Spa, nestled right on the Pacific Ocean. Our hilltop accommodations will offer sweeping views of the coast, a swanky interior, and some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. In case you can’t tell, I’m psyched for the trip. And the thing is, I’m not the only one who’s been bitten by the travel bug. In fact, there’s a sweeping trend that I’ve dubbed the “new American wanderlust.” Curious how we can profit from it? I’ll explain... > ADVERTISEMENT < The Most Important A.I. Event of 2023 Tomorrow October 11th, you’re invited to a very special investment briefing… That’s when Whitney Tilson will sit down with investing legend Alex Green to share the details behind the biggest prediction these two Wall Street legends have made all year… As you’ll discover, some investors could see their wealth evaporate — while others could have the chance to earn bigger profits than they’ve ever dreamed. [Click here now for the full story (and to lock in your seat) right now](. Travel Takes Priority Inflation is rising at a historic pace. And interest rates continue to soar. But despite all this, Americans are spending big bucks on deluxe vacations. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that millions of Americans are putting long-term financial goals on hold as they embark on trips... People like Josh Richner. The 35-year-old decided to lower his regular retirement contributions so he could spend $7,000 on an Alaskan cruise. He and his family wanted to see the ice caps first-hand. Indeed, people are eager to travel. In a recent survey reported by Forbes, 87% of respondents expected to travel at least as much this year as in 2022, when prices were lower across the board. More telling, half of those surveyed said they expected to spend more on travel this year. Young people, in particular, are on the move. Of those ages 18 to 26, nearly 60% said they are traveling more this year than last. I can personally attest to this data point. My daughters recently returned from a trip to Portugal. And my older daughter, Jordan, has made four major trips this year, even while working full-time. Here for the Long Haul? What’s grabbed my attention is that this urge to splurge on travel doesn’t appear to be a one-year thing. It’s a long-term trend that has already pushed its way into next year. I say that because I usually escape to Lake Tahoe a few times a year to go skiing. I plan trips in advance — typically around this time of year — and was fortunate to snag a room at my favorite hotel for a December stay. Imagine my shock, though, when I discovered that this was the only reservation I could get for the entire upcoming season. The place is booked through next April! Clearly, people are feeling a sense of wanderlust. Whether due to the rise of remote work, or because COVID left them with a case of carpe diem, America’s travel industry is poised to keep humming. That’s quite alright with me. While it means I might miss out on a hotel stay or two, it also means we’ll have plenty of investment opportunities... Where to Invest Investing in a trend like travel may seem obvious at first blush, but it takes some critical thinking to get right. For example, we could invest in a major airline to take advantage of the increasingly crowded skies. But airlines aren’t always a good bet, especially now with rising fuel costs that’ll pinch profit margins. We could focus on a hotel chain. But this sector is highly dependent on labor. In a tight labor market, wages could rise higher, impacting a hotel’s bottom line. Or… we could invest in a company that benefits no matter where travelers are headed. The company I’m referring to is a technology business. It offers access to a wide range of travel-related services. And the recent travel boom is expected to help its per-share profits climb by almost 50% this year. Curious about the details? I’ve saved ‘em for my “Pro” readers, so make sure you’re one of them. Until then, bon voyage.   FOR TREND TRADER PRO READERS ONLY > [LEARN MORE]( < Cheers and Good Investing, [Michael Robinson] Michael Robinson Chief Investment Officer Trend Trader Daily   Copyright © Trend Trader Daily, All rights reserved.
