Gen Z and Millennial travelers redefine Spring Break, focusing on sober activities. A study by EF Ultimate Break, a leader in experiential travel for Gen Z, reveals that 68% of university-aged travelers (18–22 years old) are opting for sober Spring Break activities, showing a significant 9-point increase over Millennials (ages 23-35).

The study also highlights that most university-aged travelers prioritize learning about the cultures, people, and places they visit as their primary reason for traveling internationally. Other top reasons include relaxation by the pool or beach, meeting new people, engaging in both social and cultural activities, volunteering, and partying, which ranks last.

Responding to these insights, EF Ultimate Break is introducing its first collection of sober-focused Spring Break tours for college students in destinations like Costa Rica, Thailand, and Egypt.

“Today’s Gen Z travelers have made it clear that they’re looking for more than a party scene on their Spring Break trip and we listened. We’ve designed our new collection of alcohol-free tours to prioritize wellness and mindfulness, while still delivering on the culture, adventure and community synonymous with all EF Ultimate Break tours,” said Heather Leisman, President, EF Ultimate Break. “Whether it’s kayaking in Costa Rica’s Lake Arsenal, snorkeling in Phang Nga, Thailand, or visiting the Pyramids in Egypt, our new sober themed tours put the focus on shared experiences and well-being as we create a new Spring Break experience for the next generation of world traveler.”

“I thought it was important to show other world travelers my age that Spring Break can be more meaningful than bar hopping and beach parties, especially when you get to truly experience a special place like Costa Rica and learn about what life is like for locals who live the ‘Pura Vida’ lifestyle every day,” said Alex, EF Ultimate Break’s Ultimate Intern, “Having this chance to focus on learning about an amazing country like Costa Rica as my top priority, and documenting the experience on social media, is the educational opportunity of a lifetime as I explore a potential career in the travel industry.”
