Tap all the highlighted words in the transcript below to see their definition. ⇩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. 🙂
Which one of these trends do you identify with the most? Feel free to comment below.
See Grammar explanation 
Used to say how something happens or is done, and they usually end in -ly, for example: “quickly” or “slowly“. Adverbs of quantity indicate the degree to which something is done or is. The adverbs “very”, “so” and “too” usually go with adjectives. E.g:
——-
- “It’s very big.”
- “This is so great.”
- “This is too much.”
- “I love you very much.”
- “I think it’s quite good.”

My ideal vacation travel space travel come in2020 virgin Galactic or Blue origin are about to launch their first traveller based. Rocket planes for a 90 minutes sb. – orbital hop. Into. Space The tiip experience will cost around. 250,000dollars. Is not for my. It is many expensive in futur ,extraordinary yes I do consideringi is not really because it is very dangerous and many specially and also many experience navigation impossibly to space travel known very good Ingenious it is very not really in time, a lot off monay
My travel experience is about the green and eco-tourism because I like to be in contact with the nature. it’ s inspiring me hope, the beauty, the different creatures and many things. After a vacation around the forest with a direct contact with the environment, I feel like new in the world and ready to continue to work.
I think that none of these trends are the perfect way to travel for me. But if I must choose one of them I would pick ancestry travel and bleisure. The first one it is because I find very interesting to know about my root and to visit where my forebearers are from. I would love to live this experience. The second one it is because I think to combine business with leisure is a fantastic mix.
My preference is about bleisure, because i have been working with a job that allows working from home or working from anywhere, i’m software developer and i love technologies.
The best trip is to the center of the earth.
