Globizen refers to Gen Xers and Yers, 35-50, at the peak of their earning potential, who consider travel part of their lives, both for business and pleasure. According to a recent column, globizens are demanding, have high expectations, get their travel recommendations from people who've been there or know other people who've been there — for months. They want to "experience" a place like a local — but a high-end local (upscale local apartments, for instance).

“環球村民”指年齡在35到50歲之間的X一代和Y一代人群,他們正處於收入高峰時期,把旅行視為生活的一部分,公差或休假皆可。最近的一篇博文指出,“環球村民”們要求高、期望高,會花幾個月的時間從去過旅行目的地的人那裡獲取出行推薦信息。他們想要像當地人一樣“體驗”某個地方,但他們要的是高階的當地人待遇(比如,高檔公寓)。

They also have an "incessant desire to share," and because you cannot pry their fingers from their gadgets, they'll be documenting their venturing (they want to "chart new territory, push themselves to the limit") via, well, you know the litany …

他們同時還有“極其強烈的分享慾望”,反正你不可能把他們的手指從移動裝置上挪開,他們會在那裡編撰他們的冒險之旅(想要“征服新領地,挑戰極限”之類的),然後寫成一篇冗長的文字分享。

"They are the most sophisticated and demanding group of travelers the industry has seen — far more than either baby boomers or millennials," according to Luxury Daily columnist Tammy Smulders.

《Luxury Daily》的專欄作家Tammy表示:“他們是旅遊行業見過的最難懂、要求最高的遊客,比嬰兒潮一代或千禧一代都難搞。
