Opting for Experiences

Activities and experiences are a top priority for travelers of all ages, with 83% reporting that it’s an important part of their travel budget. Most travelers (89%) are planning up to five activities. Gen Z respondents are more likely to book six or more activities compared to older age group respondents (14% versus older age group average of 9%). Similarly, Gen Z and Millennials are leading the charge on those most likely to travel in general.

While every generation prioritizes relaxation, older respondents do so more than younger ones: 56% of older generations (Boomers and Gen X) versus 47% for Millennials and Gen Z. Conversely, younger respondents are significantly more likely to want to have an adventure and explore different cultures than older generations.

“Summer travel is all about making memories with friends, family and loved ones – and planning those special trips is a highlight of the year for so many travelers,” said Hilary Fischer-Groban, Head of Research & Insights at Tripadvisor. “Whether it’s exploring the unique cultural sights of a new country, playing and relaxing on a beach, or booking an outing like a guided tour or boat ride, taking advantage of local experiences while traveling helps make memories that will last a lifetime. Tripadvisor reviews can help guide travelers to find the best of the best experiences to round out their trip.”

It’s All in the Plan

Planning ahead with a travel guidance platform like Tripadvisor helps ensure travel plans run smoothly and that experiences go according to plan. In fact, 57% of travelers report that they will book activities ahead of their vacations, and Gen Z and millennials are 78% more likely to book on-trip activities in advance (71% vs 40% older age groups). While on their trip, Boomers are more likely to ask locals for recommendations (38%) while Gen Z are more likely to go to social media (51%) to round out their itinerary. The top trending experience categories for 2025 are cultural and themed tours, outdoor activities including things like hiking and horseriding, and cruises, sailing and water tours.

Booking accommodations is also a factor in the planning process. Younger respondents (Gen Z and Millennials, 30% average) are more likely to stay in vacation rentals than older respondents (Gen X and Boomers, 21% average), who favor hotels.

“With experiences and stays available through Tripadvisor, planning your summer travels in one easy-to-use platform simplifies the scheduling process and lets users focus on their getaway,” said Fischer-Groban. “Tripadvisor’s billion-plus reviews and contributions will help travelers decide how best to maximize their valuable vacation days.”

Firmable breaks into G2’s global top five for momentum in Sales Intelligence

Published

on

By

Firmable earned 17 badges in G2’s Fall 2026 reports and improved its ranking in 28 of the 32 reports it featured in last season, holding its position in the other four.

MELBOURNE, Australia and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Firmable, the AI-native B2B sales platform, has climbed from #8 to #4 on G2’s global Momentum Grid for Sales Intelligence, which ranks the fastest-rising products in the category worldwide. It also ranked #1 for SMB sales intelligence in both Australia and ANZ and moved into the top 10 across Asia-Pacific.

The results span regional, segment and global reports in both the Sales Intelligence and Lead Intelligence categories. They are based on verified reviews from Firmable customers, alongside G2’s measures of market presence and growth.

Global momentum as Firmable scales in North America

Firmable is now one of the fastest-rising sales intelligence products worldwide. Its jump to #4 on G2’s global Momentum Grid for Sales Intelligence was matched by strong gains in G2’s global satisfaction indexes:

Relationship Index for Sales Intelligence: #3, up from #24Implementation Index for Sales Intelligence: #3, up from #17Results Index for Sales Intelligence: #4, up from #16

The results arrive as Firmable expands across the US and Canada, following its $14 million Series A in March and the launch of the Firmable MCP in July. They were followed by the launch of Tech Intelligence earlier in October.

“G2 rankings come straight from customers, and that’s why these results matter to us,” said Leigh Jasper, co-founder and co-CEO of Firmable. “Customers are telling the market three things: Firmable is easy to work with, fast to roll out, and it delivers results. Those scores climbed the most this season. That’s exactly the proof point sales leaders look for when they evaluate a new platform. We built Firmable as an AI-native product from day one, and teams in North America and elsewhere are responding. Breaking into the global top five for momentum is a strong signal of where we’re headed.”

#1 in Australia and in ANZ

Firmable took the top spot for small-business sales intelligence in both of its home markets. It rose from #2 to #1 on G2’s Small-Business Australia Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence, and from #3 to #1 on the Small-Business ANZ Regional Grid. Firmable also held #1 overall in both Australia and ANZ for Lead Intelligence.

“Ranking top in Australia and ANZ and climbing across Asia-Pacific comes down to one thing: our customers are booking more meetings with less effort,” said Paul Perrett, co-founder and co-CEO of Firmable. “Growing sales teams can’t afford to waste a rep’s day on bad data or cold accounts. We give them verified contacts and buying signals that tell them who to call and when. These results show that approach is working for teams in every market we serve. And with the launch of Tech Intelligence last week, we’re not slowing down.”

Top 10 across Asia-Pacific

Firmable moved into the top 10 for small-business sales intelligence across Asia-Pacific. It climbed from #13 to #10 on G2’s Small-Business Asia Pacific Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence. It also rose from #14 to #9 on the matching Lead Intelligence grid.

Firmable debuted on G2’s Mid-Market Asia Pacific Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence at #13. That reflects growing adoption among larger revenue teams in the region. On the overall Asia Pacific grid for Sales Intelligence, Firmable moved from #18 to #15.

SUPPORTS AMD EXPO™ Technology: Featuring Ultra Low Latency
WITH AWARD-WINNING FLAGSHIP DESIGN

HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KLEVV, the leading consumer memory and storage brand introduced by Essencore, unveils the all-new CRAS V RGB PRIME DDR5 Gaming/OC Memory. Purpose-built for elite gaming rigs and demanding creative workloads, this new premium memory unleashes ultra-low CAS latency down to CL26 at 6000 MT/s and blazing overclocking speeds of up to 8000 MT/s at CL38, dressed in a striking black-and-gold finish and armed with dual-platform overclocking support for gamers, PC builders, and performance enthusiasts who demand nothing but the best. 

Refined Flagship Design and Craftsmanship
Building on the aluminum heat spreader design of the flagship CRAS V RGB, winner of both the Red Dot and iF Design Awards, the CRAS V RGB PRIME introduces a striking new black-and-gold interpretation of the series’ signature look.

An advanced hard-anodizing process, combined with a specialized surface treatment, gives the modules a smooth, piano-lacquer-like sheen that adds depth and sophistication from every angle. The result is an understated yet luxurious aesthetic that offers users a fresh, premium design choice while preserving the refined craftsmanship of the original CRAS V RGB.

High-Speed Performance with Lower Latency
The CRAS V RGB PRIME further advances KLEVV’s DDR5 overclocking memory lineup with tested speeds of 6000, 6400, and 8000 MT/s and CAS latencies of CL26, CL28, and CL38, respectively.

The 6000 MT/s configuration features tested timings of 26-36-36-76, while the 6400 MT/s configuration delivers timings of 28-38-38-78. For users seeking extreme frequencies, the 8000 MT/s models operate at tested timings of 38-48-48-128. All configurations are tested at 1.4V.

The 6000 and 6400 MT/s configurations are available in dual-channel kits ranging from 32GB (16GBx2), 64GB (32GBx2), to 128GB (64GBx2), while the 8000 MT/s models are offered in both 32GB (16GBx2) and 48GB (24GBx2) kits. This diverse range gives users greater flexibility to select the ideal balance of speed, latency, and capacity for their systems.

The new AMD EXPO ULL profile incorporates optimized memory sub-timing settings designed to reduce latency and improve overall performance on compatible AMD platforms. As the first product in KLEVV’s overclocking memory lineup to adopt this technology, the CRAS V RGB PRIME delivers a more responsive gaming and overclocking experience.

The 6000 MT/s and 6400 MT/s 32GB (16GBx2) configurations are certified for AMD EXPO Ultra Low Latency. According to AMD, certified Ultra Low Latency memory can deliver an average 4% improvement in FPS compared with non-ULL AMD EXPO memory on compatible systems.*

Broad Intel and AMD Platform Support
Offering broad support across the latest desktop platforms, the CRAS V RGB PRIME is compatible with AMD Ryzen™ processors on the AM5 platform and Intel® Core™ Ultra 200S Plus processors.

Each kit comes preloaded with both Intel® Extreme Memory Profile and AMD EXPO™ Technology overclocking profiles, allowing users to unlock high-speed performance through a simple BIOS setting on compatible motherboards with supported BIOS versions. With both profiles included, users can confidently choose their preferred speed and capacity without the hassle of selecting separate Intel- or AMD-specific models.

Premium Components for Uncompromising Stability
The CRAS V RGB PRIME features rigorously screened, high-quality memory ICs from a leading Korean manufacturer, ensuring consistent high-speed performance and exceptional stability under demanding workloads.

Paired with a high-density 10-layer PCB, the modules deliver enhanced signal integrity and greater resistance to interference during high-speed operation.
