  Speaker 1: Lisa, it would appear the times, they are a-changing.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: Who went on a Contiki tour back in the day?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Did you?
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: No, I did not.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, Chippin did.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Chippin did.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I did, yeah, 1996 around America.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wow. I actually never went.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: On one either.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: I didn't because, you know, I was busy studying.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Were you?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, you were studying. Well, I travelled, but I just
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: never did it with Contiki. Not then, later. No.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: How much do you remember, Chippin?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Not a hell of a lot. There are actual holidays
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Which is what Contiki was famous for.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Well, it was.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And I do emphasize the word was.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I went to Lake Tahoe once, but I actually don't
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: remember going there. Really?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Then maybe you never went there.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Evidently, the days of late nights, holiday hookups and piling
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: back onto the bus the next day, hungover, to see
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the landmarks of Europe, America and Lake Tahoe, Gen Z
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: don't want that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It's dwindling.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Instead, they want to hike the Dolomites or run through
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Rome and film their OOTDs.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Their what? Is that something you catch on a Contiki tour?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: There was a penicillin for it in our day. But no,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: an OOTD is my outfit of the day. And it
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: involves people uploading what they're wearing onto social media. So
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Contiki is pivoting appropriately. They're rebranding things. So much has
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: changed for how 18 to 35-year-olds want to travel. The
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: folk at Contiki say there is definitely a solid trend
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: towards less alcohol consumption. Because they want to be getting
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: up the next morning and doing a run through Rome.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: And then they might go out, say, three or four
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: nights later. They said, don't get us wrong. People still
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: love going out, but it's not the number one reason
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: they're here anymore.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: So you're saying that Grandma on the Trafalgar tour is
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: actually boozing up more than the grandkids are?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: My mum loved a backroads tour.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Definitely.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: There was more being consumed on that, in the backroads,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: than on the Dolomites hike. So they said they've launched
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the Dolomites hiking trip and cannot keep up with demand.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: They're adding departures left, right and centre. And yeah, so
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: they still want to go out. They still want to
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: have a good time, but not every night because they
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: have big plans for the morning in their OOTD.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So what happened?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Looks maxing. Oh, is that what it is?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's, you know, word of the year.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maxing with two Xs.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it all comes in, too.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: They're all about the wellness.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So when I toured, I did lots of the sightseeing
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I did, you know, like adventurous stuff and that, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: we still went out every night.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Well, this is it. We did both.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I know people that still managed to run through Rome
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: after a whole bottle of lemon juice.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Here's my question.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Here's my question.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: What are they even doing on a Contiki tour? Aren't
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: they complaining about boomers taking all the housing and they
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: can never get a mortgage?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, here we go. Shouldn't they be home saving? Here
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: we go.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It's the smashed ammo argument coming. How can you afford
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a Contiki tour? Contiki tours.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, you've just.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I don't know.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Anyway, apparently Contiki said it's a stereotype of the old days,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: the fun days, that they actually want to get rid
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: of anyway, so.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So they're moving away from it, but I don't know.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I don't understand.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Each to their own.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I don't understand.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Whatever floats your OOTD.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: What good's a holiday if you can remember it?
