Limitations
� The deduction of tourism trends from megatrends and as well the selection of the megatrends and tourism trends which are relevant for wine tourism underlie a significant amount of subjectivity.
– But the selection was necessary to reduce the content of the expert interviews in order to remain within the timeframe
� On the other hand we received interesting and comprehensible results that convey an impression of the future of wine tourism
The study
Definition of trend
� In common usage something that is „in“ at the moment (prevailing taste e.g. in view of habits of consumption)
� A trend is a change movement or change process that continues over a periodof several years and is indicatory for the social development(Geser et al. 2007, S. 18; Horx 2006, S. 97; Opaschowski 2006, S. 484)
� In contrast temporary fashions are short-term developments(one season, half a year)
Different kind of trends
� Trends can be segmented into different types in terms of the temporal progressand the areas of society that are affected by changes. − meta-, mega-, basic- as well as
sociocultural society-, consumption-, branch- and product-trends
(vgl. Heyes 2006, S. 33; Horx Zukunftsinstitut 2010a, S. 2f.; Kreibich 2013, S. 360; Singh 2012, S. 4)
� Megatrends: have a „durability“ of several decades.
� Branch- and consumption-trends (as wine or tourism trends) derive in the end from megatrends.
� Framework conditions (driver) are superior and influence the development ofmegatrends.

Connection between megatrends and tourism trends
Health as an example for the chain of effects 1
� Health may be the most important megatrend in the future
� Connection with the demographic change– A person aged sixty who learns a new foreign language rejuvenates mentally and therefore
physically as well!
� The development of medical devices supports a longerlife expectancy
– More „good“ years
� Prevention gains centre stage– Prevention travels (Endress 2009)
Connection between megatrends and tourism trends
Health as an example for the chain of effects 2
From the megatrend health derived tourism trends, e. g.:
� New concepts of pleasure (awareness instead of self-denial)– Vegan restaurants
� New wellness quality in hospitality– Accessibility for physically challenged people
– Rooms free of electrosmog
– Feng shui-rooms
– Allergy sufferer-friendly offers
– Medical wellness offers

Results
Trends in Wine Tourism
� Edutainment is seen controversially– Affective prior to cognitive components of a wine tour (wine experiences)
– Dissemination of knowledge only if requested/ information on demand
– Antz: „… away from hard facts toward storytelling and personalities.“(„… weg von harten Fakten, hin zu Geschichten und Persönlichkeiten.“)
� Active participation in grape harvesting– Janik: demand higher than the offer of vineyards to participate
� Interesting offers for children to attract families
� But an important general statement isthat the orientation on pleasure and treats is considerably strongerthan the interest for learning
Expert Statements New Learning/ Knowledge Culture
Trends in Wine Tourism
� Referral marketing grows more important– Experts point out that Marketing in social networks is seldom used for wine tourism!
– Remark of the authors: Review sites such as TripAdvisor and travel blogs are used muchmore intensively than general social networks like Facebook (Messe Berlin 2015)
� Apps become „guides to insiders‘ and pleasure advices“ „Lotsen zu Geheim- und Genusstipps“ (Bellanti)
– Technology is not in contrast to the pleasure nature of a wine tour
� Augmented Reality– Information brokerage is often named as an application field
– Surprisingly gamification didn´t play any role in the argumentation of the experts
� From the point of view of the authors there are few specific proposals from theexperts and no visionary ideas.
Expert Statements Connectivity
Trends in Wine Tourism
� LOHAS are considered an important target group for wine tourism– Sustainability was more emphasized than health
– Sustainability is rather associated with local products and regionality than ecology
– Guests are interested in „wine as a natural product and simultaneouslyas the basic source of income of many families of winemakers.“
„für den Wein als Naturprodukt und gleichzeitig als Grundlage des Einkommens vieler Winzerfamilien“ (Bellanti)
� Increasing interest in organic wine (Abele, Antz, Kagermeier, Klohr, Stöckl)
� Car-mobility of wine travellers remains
Expert Statements Neo-Ecology
Origin OriginDestination
Trends in Wine Tourism
� The majority of experts (except Stöckl) sees no negative impacts of theincreasing health consciousness on wine tourism– Wine quality has priority
– Wine is considered as a cultural good and is perceived more consciously
– Use of grapes as a stationary remedy
� Activities during a wine tour (hiking, biking) create an healthbalance
Expert Statements Health
Trends in Wine Tourism
� Importance of travel components– Wine plus additional offers as requested by individual needs
� Close connection between individualisation of a wine tour and service quality– But this is contrasted by a shortage of sufficiently qualified personnel
� The experts only name few possibilities to personalise a wine tour.
However there are enough examples in the opinion of the authors:– Personal address of guests
– Consideration of personal needs during tastings
– Labelled souvenirs, wine presents and commemorative gifts
– Consideration of the needs of fellow travellers without wine interest (Moslems, children, etc.)
Expert Statements Individuality
Trends in Wine Tourism
� In the expert statements many aspects of the Silver Society are connected with other megatrends and there are only fewspecial needs of Best Agers:– Interest in education of Best Agers is more distinct
– Increased journeys with campervans
– Pedelec-usage of Best Agers
� Kagermeier points out the perspectively longer clientage of theyounger generation
� Bellanti emphasizes the „cross-generational wine experience“„generationsübergreifende Weinerlebnis“
Expert Statements Silver Society
Conclusion 1
� Trends in wine tourism do not only derivedirectly from megatrends– e.g. events and wine experiences
are very important
� Orientation on pleasure has priority(appeal of all senses!)– culinary travels are anyway a general tourism trend
� Wine tourism means wine plus other offersfor individual preferences (e.g. Dreyer et al. 2015)
� Referral marketing has a lot of catching-up to do in the future (review sites!)
� Knowledge culture and information brokerageplay a role but have no priority

Conclusion 2
� Sustainability and „organic“ become more important for wineas well as for travelling
– Local products/ regionality are more important than ecological thoughts of travellers
� Journey to the destination by car (rural areas) have to be supplementedwith forms of mobility without a car on site
� The megatrend health has no negative impacts on wine tourism
� The slow tourism aspects like pleasure, local productsand cultural activities provide good possibilities to design offers (Groß 2011)
– Close to the extended definition of „terroir“ as a mixture of tradition, lifestyle, culture, regional identity and language in a region (e.g. Croce/ Perri 2010)
