Experts have suggested that a shift in traveler behavior is leading to more self-inflicted problems on trips. These include being entitled, rude, and a lack of empathy for service workers and local cultures. While travelers often blame their airline, car rental company or hotel for their issues, there is a growing consensus that many of these issues are self-deflicted. John Gobbels, the chief operating officer of Medjet, said that there has been a "shift" in this behavior. The problem is generational. Younger travelers tend to take more risks and have a more permissive attitude about recreational drugs, graffiti, and the decline of good manners.
