Subscription Mindset Meets Wanderlust: How Vacation Ownership Fits the Future of Travel

In an age where people subscribe to everything from entertainment to meal kits, the way we vacation is evolving, too. Today’s travelers—particularly Millennials and Gen Z—are seeking more than just hotel bookings; they want access, flexibility, and value. Capital Vacations is redefining vacation ownership to meet this demand, aligning perfectly with the subscription-based lifestyle that’s reshaping modern consumer behavior.

According to the 2025 ARDA State of the Vacation Ownership Industry report, interest in vacation ownership continues to rise, especially among younger travelers. More than 60% of new owners are under the age of 40, and they’re motivated by a desire for predictable costs, diverse travel options, and meaningful experiences—all hallmarks of today’s most successful subscription models.
