Some travelers are leaving the planning to someone else and have no idea where they're headed.
For example, Liz Ozaist booked a trip that took her ziplining in Hawaii.

She relied on a mystery trip planner, who mapped out the whole vacation, with surprise activities every day.
One of these travel services is Nexpedition.com – developed by American Express.
Targeting twentysomethings, Nexpedition creates trips based on your travel profile. You won't know where you're going or what you're doing until the last minute.
You find out your "travel sign" via a short survey of some 15 multiple-choice questions. Once that's complete, three of the top travel signs that suit you are revealed, with descriptions, and you choose which one applies most to you.
The planners make sure those activities match your personality - all you have to do is show up and enjoy the ride.
