6 Travel Trends to Explore

Travel practices and experiences, like many things, change and evolve so much with the time and adapt to traveller inquietudes. 

Let’s check out 6 travel trends that will change the way we travel in the coming years:

1. Space Travel

The time has finally come in 2020. Virgin Galactic or Blue Origin are about to launch their first traveller based rocket planes for a 90-minute sub-orbital hop into space. The trip experience will cost around $250,000. Too much for the average traveller for now. 🙂

2. Green and Eco-Tourism

Green Tourism is not new, but the rapidly evolving awareness of the population regarding climate change generated by fossil fuels, drives this trend up with ecological hotels, travelling by train instead of plane (inspired by Greta Thunberg), sustainable carbon sensitive experiences and much more. We hope this trend will spread into tourism and all aspects of our lives. 

3. NAKATION

Naked Holidays are taking off for travellers to experience the liberating feeling of not wearing clothes. This is about becoming more human and natural as we connect with ourselves. You can find Nakation experiences in quite a few activities such as restaurants, hikes, camping, canoeing, cruises, wild swimming and yoga.

4. Ancestry Travel

A new trend becoming very popular is travelling to the places where people’s forebearers are from. According to the MIT Technology review, 26 million people have already taken an ancestry DNA test at home, increasing their curiosity to go in search of their roots. We see individuals seeking out shared genetic links and cultural synergies. 

5. Spartan holidays

This is a mix between disconnecting from technology and enhancing a minimalist lifestyle. The idea is to travel with as little material elements as possible so you embrace physical and mental freedom. The destinations are also linked to isolated landscapes, and electricity and internet free accommodations.

6. Bleisure

Bleisure is growing pretty fast and combines business and leisure travel. As opposed to Spartan travel, new technologies allow us to work remotely, and travellers are adopting a practice to travel for longer periods while they experience local cultures and travel on the way to international clients.

Do you know what these travel experiences have in common with each other? You will need English to be able to make your own decisions and design them to your liking.  🙂
