A growing trend among younger travelers involves seeking out experiences centered around grandmothers, often referred to as 'grandma-core.' This movement emphasizes slower living, handmade crafts, cooking, and domestic life. On TikTok, content related to this 'grandma-style' lifestyle has accumulated over 100 million views. According to data from the travel company GetYourGuide, 76% of Generation Z travelers from France, Germany, the UK, and the US have booked activities linked to 'grandma' experiences, such as cooking classes with Italian nonnas or guided tours with Japanese grandmas. One popular form of these experiences is cooking classes where participants gain knowledge about traditional dishes and insight into the daily lives of hosts. Travelers often emphasize that these experiences feel more personal compared to traditional tourist visits, as they become guests in someone’s home rather than just visitors.
