“Trending” is hardly a new term. It stretches back to the 1950s when the word began to appear in dictionaries. Given our growing interest in trends, you’ll want to know that they usually begin as fads. As more people get on the bandwagon, fads morph into trends. If you’re an avid vacationer who relies on them to make travel decisions, you may already know that island rentals for group vacations are trending big time.
How renting an island moved from dream to trend
Around 10 years ago, an NBC News story reported on the emergence of the growth of trending when an article asked the question “Why buy a private island when you can rent one?” Reportage detailed a dramatic drop in the number of celebrities who, up until then, were buying up private islands.
The market downturn may have spelled doom for wealthy entrepreneurs, but an island rental market was introduced, and it’s changed so dramatically, what was once an opportunity for only the wealthy to host island parties became the dominion of younger people who just want to get away without the burden of ownership.
That means just about anyone with a desire to sequester and have fun with a group of like-minded people for a fun, effortless vacation can afford the rent, and few Caribbean islands have gained as much prominence as Belize’s Manta Island Resort where renting the entire island is so much easier than you imagine.
