American Express has released results of a new survey on travel demographics.

Highlights:

• Compared with Boomers, Millennials say they are more optimistic and plan to travel more frequently and spend more on travel in the next 5 years.
• Both Millennials (89%) and Boomers say they value personalized service.
• 92.4% of the unreported percentage of Millennials who have used a travel agent in the past 5 years say that it enhanced their travel experience. (But bear in mind that nobody likes to admit having made a bad investment.)
• 60% of millennials say they are willing to pay for an agent's expertise in future. (Remember that people tend to tell researchers what they think they want to hear.)

• 46% of both Millennials and Boomers say that "enhanced in-room technology" is the most appealing hotel trend.
