Welcome to the first print issue of Travel Daily Media. After nearly two decades online, serving travel professionals across Asia and beyond, we’re expanding the conversation, this time, in print. Our focus remains the same: to spotlight the shifts, trends, and people shaping the future of travel. In this issue, we examine how cruises are shedding their retiree-only image. The average passenger is now 46, not 60—driven by Gen Z and Millennials seeking shorter, experience-rich getaways. On pages 14 to 15, we explore how cruise lines are adapting.
