Americans are changing vacation habits as GLP-1 medications reshape travel choices. A Priceline report finds 85 percent of users say the drugs change how they vacation, while only 55 percent say hotels accommodate them well. Gallup estimates about 11 percent of US adults, roughly 37 million people, use the medications, and PwC says 20 percent of households have at least one user. Hotels are adding in-room medication fridges, protein-focused menus and smaller portions, while all-inclusive resorts and cruises may feel the pressure.
