Gen Zers skipping booze for Spring Break ‘dry tripping’

There is a growing trend of Gen Zers ‘dry tripping’ in the spring – an alcohol-free vacation.

Hotels and resorts have taken note with more non-alcoholic options, and replacing ‘social drinking’ venues with more experience-led or wellness-focused amenities.
