Multiple reports describe a change in holiday preferences away from long, unstructured “flop-and-drop” stays and toward more active “maxx-packing” trips. The articles frame the trend as a move from spending extended periods by pools to building fuller schedules that include more activities and experiences. They present “maxx-packing” as the newer way of vacationing, suggesting that travellers are increasingly interested in maximizing what they do during a limited time away.

The coverage does not provide detailed statistics or named sources for the trend, but it consistently emphasizes that holiday habits are evolving toward packed itineraries and increased on-trip activity rather than extended downtime.
