The increasing stratification of out-of-home entertainment & leisure

In one of our previous articles, The future of out-of-home entertainment, published as a feature article at Blooloop.com, we examined U.S. trends of both the amount and use of leisure time and expenditures for both electronics and out-of-home entertainment. We found a significant long-term trend of consumers’ leisure time and entertainment expenditures migrating from the real world to the virtual world. In our newest feature article at Blooloop.com, The increasing stratification of out-of-home entertainment and leisure, we shared some more of our company’s research findings that we use to guide our design and production of our clients’ entertainment and leisure projects.
