Global digital detox tourism reached USD 1.42B in 2024 and is projected to grow at 8.6% CAGR to about USD 2.93B by 2033 (Dataintelo, 2025). ADR skews premium because inventory is small and remote, and length of stay is typically 3-7 nights — most of the ticket goes to lodging and full-board meals rather than tours or shopping. Hilton's 2025 trends report found >25% of travelers actively want to reduce social media use on holiday, and Plum Guide saw a 17% jump in searches for 'off-grid' stays; family segment is expanding fastest, with 84% of parents saying they will look for device-free family play this year (Food Drink Life, 2026).
