]]> Trends are about much more than just styles on the runway—every year, changes in societal values along with advancements in technology drive new things to become popular in almost every area of our daily lives, and travel is no exception. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with sticking with what’s familiar, experimenting with new trends can also be a great way to enhance your travel experiences and learn more about yourself along the way. Here are some of the biggest travel trends to try in 2024.

Dupe Destinations

The concept of “dupe destinations,” or affordable alternatives to tourism hotspots that offer a similar feel, has been gaining traction over the last year or so, and in 2024, it’s predicted to be more popular than ever. Beyond being less expensive, many dupe destinations are also less crowded than their original counterparts due to their relative lack of tourists. For example, the Greek island of Paros as a quieter alternative to Santorini.

Domestic Tourism

Between rising costs and restrictive work schedules, it’s not always possible to take an extended vacation to a faraway destination, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still plan a fabulous getaway in your own backyard. There’s no shame in staying local for your next vacation—in fact, travel search engine Kayak has even reported that the cost of domestic flights, hotels, and car rentals are all down from last year, while the same expenses for international travel are all up.

AI Planning

Travel planning may not necessarily be the most obvious use for ChatGPT, but since it was released in November 2022, many have found it to be surprisingly adept at creating personalized vacation itineraries. If you’d like to plan a trip but aren’t sure where to start, or just want to learn more about some under-the-radar attractions in your destination, consider turning to AI programs for input. Just be sure to check with another source that information about its recommendations is accurate.

]]> Over the past year, one of the related effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the introduction of digital technologies that have been transformed to make our challenging current context a better place.

As countries gradually begin to open up and people start to travel a bit more, this digital trend is making itself felt when it comes to paying while traveling.

In all facets of travel, it is now becoming less and less likely to touch any sort of object from your wallet, whether it be cash or a credit card, to pay for any sort of thing you buy.

Most smartphones now offer mobile apps that allow you to pay with your cell phone without having to touch any sort of credit card terminal to enter a PIN number or any sort of information that would require you to touch anything but your phone.

Not only is this sort of application now used more and more by travelers at restaurants and shops, but this trend is also reaching airline and train travel, hotel stays, and other more expensive transactions as well.

It is more common than ever to never physically exchange money in exchange for tickets or accommodations thanks to apps that allow you to book and pay from your own mobile phone without ever having to do anything upon arrival.

Not only is this trend convenient, but it is also necessary when we think about public health. Expect contactless payment to continue to be a travel staple for many years to come.

]]> When was the last time you had a long layover at the airport? It is never fun to have to wait for hours between flights, and if you do so in the middle of a long, arduous journey, sometimes there is nothing you want to do more than just sleep.

Fortunately, there is a new trend which is beginning to sweep through airports all over the world: sleep pods!

While it is impractical to put hotel rooms inside most airport terminals and doesn’t make sense for customers to rent rooms for layovers during the day that last several hours, sleep pods can fill a crucial need for those who want to rest during a reduced period of time.

Airports around the world have begun to see companies install sleep pods, which are essentially a special “capsule” in which travelers are afforded privacy, darkness, and a place to rest.

Usually available for rental by the hour, some time in a sleep pod can be a very worthwhile investment if you need to take a nap and catch up on a bit or energy while waiting for your next flight.

You’ll be surprised at how comfortable they are and how easy they are to use despite how strange they appear at first glance!

Would you be willing to give a sleep pod a try on your next long layover?

]]> Once the travel industry recovers a bit from the Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences, we can expect to see some new trends changing the industry as we know it. Pilgrimages are going to be among the most popular types of travel in the following years and here’s why.

Pilgrimage is the oldest travel form but it’s getting popular again thanks to some of its numerous benefits. Pilgrimage is a journey with a lot of meaning, which makes it different from some other types of travel. In the past, it meant people were leaving their original communities for religious or other reasons, either as individuals or in groups. The focus is on the meaning or the transformation that the traveler goes through.

After a year of disconnection, many people will want to go on journeys that will bring them new experiences and benefit their mental health. Pilgrimage is one way to make new connections with people, and it’s likely that more travelers than before will enjoy trips to explore nature. Connecting with nature through pilgrimage is a great way to get more meaning out of life.

]]> Traveling sure is hard these days, isn’t it? COVID-19 has made it harder to make a week-long or weekend-long trip whenever you might have days off of work because of public health concerns and travel restrictions.

You might be sick of feeling stuck in your home, and it is understandable that this can happen if you haven’t been able to explore in a while. So, what is a potential way to leave home and see the world despite the strange current situation?

More and more people who telecommute are opting to take long-term vacations to places away from home, establishing themselves in another city or country while social distancing in order to get a change of scenery.

Countries such as Iceland have offered up opportunities for foreigners to move to their country and establish three or six-month residency during the pandemic in order to stimulate their local economies.

This unique arrangement allows you to make a non-risky move to a different country and continue your working arrangement at the same time while being immersed in a whole new environment.

Would you ever consider a long-term move that allowed you to telecommute?

]]> The landscape of world travel has definitely changed as the fight against COVID-19 continues. While borders have generally opened up and tourism has restarted (with all of the necessary precaution in place, of course), travel won’t look like it did before the virus for quite some time.

This reality has conditioned the travel trends which we will see in the fall of 2020, which is rapidly approaching. Let’s check out some of the most popular options that people will look for in the upcoming season.

Rural Getaways

The fewer the people there are around you, the better is generally the rule in the middle of a pandemic. Rural getaways to small towns and national parks are a great option if you want to go with your family or friends and avoid the tightly-packed masses of cities. Book soon, because these destinations are set to be in high demand.

Contactless Pay

While you might’ve had to worry about getting the local currency for paying at hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions in the past, contactless pay with card chips and mobile phones is all the rage these days. Be sure to have at least one contactless payment method with you while traveling this fall, as some businesses don’t even accept cash now.

Renting Whole Units

It’s completely understandable if you don’t want to stay in a hotel or a shared AirBNB at this time, which has led to the growth of renting whole units. This fall, it’ll be more popular than ever to rent an entire apartment or house in order to stay isolated.

The current situation isn’t prohibitive to travel, however, as one of the recent trends in travel has proven.

Micro trips are a new favorite for people all around the world who are looking to escape, but not go too far away from home. The idea of this sort of travel is to stay within a short radius of home but to check out cities, towns, and natural landscapes that you wouldn’t otherwise visit on a regular basis.

In a one-week micro trip, for example, a person from a large city might visit a handful of small towns within a two-hour radius of their home and also make time to check out local or national parks that allow for a complete disconnect from urban life and stresses.

This concept has been popular for a while now, but has really taken off in the aftermath of COVID-19, as people are looking for safe and relatively inexpensive travel options.

Are you considering a micro trip this summer?

]]> Have you ever wanted to have an outdoor experience and get away from it all in the countryside? Well, some people have always wanted to do this, but are uncomfortable with the idea of “roughing it” in a traditional tent or campground.

So, what has risen up as one of the most popular travel trends in recent years? Well, glamping, of course!

Glamping is a new form of rural travel in which people spend their time in the great outdoors in a setting with amenities and facilities that are a step above your normal campground experience. From power outlets to king-sized beds, a glamping experience has nothing to do with the traditional experience of sleeping while freezing cold in a sleeping bag on the ground.

Not all glamping accommodations are as luxurious and expensive as you might think. In fact, semi-permanent cloth “tents” with comfortable furniture and beds but little other amenities are a common way to glamp.

They offer comfort and a way to camp that’s a step above the traditional style, but still offer guests the essence of the great outdoors.

So, try glamping and you might just enjoy your outdoor experience even more than you thought you would!

]]> Traveling has transformed over the past few years. With so many people not wanting to be “the tourists who follow the known roads” but travelers “who explore the unknown,” it seems like there’s not much unknown left to explore. Every corner of the world has been featured in at least a few Instagram photos and we now wonder — what can we expect from traveling in 2020? Here are three trends that will be the biggest.

Micro Hotels

The concept of micro hotels located in remote places, often in nature, is supposed to fight our dependence on technology and connectivity. These hotels are meant for a relaxing vacation where you can set yourself free from everything that’s not necessary for your life.

Environmental Conscience

Travelers are realizing the importance of balancing out the negative impact their travels have on the environment. Every little thing can help, from choosing eco-friendly accommodation to donating money to organizations that develop renewable energy projects.

Hipster Cruise

Up until now, travel companies have been completely ignoring younger people as a cruise target group. This is about to change in 2020 with Richard Branson and his new project Virgin Voyages meant for young people who’ve probably never been on a cruise. The cruiser will feature a tattoo salon, a record store, an open gym, a craft beer bar, etc.

]]> In today’s technology-obsessed world, it’s becoming harder and harder to find places to disconnect and forget about your phones and your computers while on vacation.

One of the worst things for anyone on a trip is to be interrupted by an important phone call from work. Even worse is the temptation to constantly check your email or social media in order to see what others are doing when you’re supposed to be enjoying your time in a new place.

For these reasons, one of the hottest current travel trends on Earth is traveling to remote places to disconnect.

When people think about disconnecting, they usually think about taking an afternoon to themselves in order to go to the beach without their laptop.

A morning walk happened after a long time as friends living and working at Kandbadi in Palampur took me to a water stream through such staircases and paths that are found only in the mountains. . पहाड़ या समुद्र, someone asked this time when they aren't even competing against each other. A bit of both in an ideal case but mountains have felt like home when nothing else has, and for that reason, I'd want myself to stay closer to them ☀ .

However, it’s also possible to do so while traveling.

Take the example of a trip to a remote national park or a small town in the middle of nowhere. In these places, you can enjoy the simple pleasures of life without the distractions of the modern world.

Some people even go so far as to seek cabins and lodges in areas where there isn’t even cell phone service. Although you might miss out on the latest news and sports scores, this is a fantastic way to escape it all.

Doesn’t it sound fantastic? Would you be willing to make a special “disconnection” trip?

It’s completely understandable if you don’t want to stay in a hotel or a shared AirBNB at this time, which has led to the growth of renting whole units. This fall, it’ll be more popular than ever to rent an entire apartment or house in order to stay isolated.

]]> The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has altered people’s travel plans all around the world, making it harder and harder for travelers to go far away from their homes due to travel restrictions and fear about long journeys.

The current situation isn’t prohibitive to travel, however, as one of the recent trends in travel has proven.

Micro trips are a new favorite for people all around the world who are looking to escape, but not go too far away from home. The idea of this sort of travel is to stay within a short radius of home but to check out cities, towns, and natural landscapes that you wouldn’t otherwise visit on a regular basis.

In a one-week micro trip, for example, a person from a large city might visit a handful of small towns within a two-hour radius of their home and also make time to check out local or national parks that allow for a complete disconnect from urban life and stresses.

This concept has been popular for a while now, but has really taken off in the aftermath of COVID-19, as people are looking for safe and relatively inexpensive travel options.

Are you considering a micro trip this summer?

]]> Have you ever wanted to have an outdoor experience and get away from it all in the countryside? Well, some people have always wanted to do this, but are uncomfortable with the idea of “roughing it” in a traditional tent or campground.

So, what has risen up as one of the most popular travel trends in recent years? Well, glamping, of course!

Glamping is a new form of rural travel in which people spend their time in the great outdoors in a setting with amenities and facilities that are a step above your normal campground experience. From power outlets to king-sized beds, a glamping experience has nothing to do with the traditional experience of sleeping while freezing cold in a sleeping bag on the ground.

Not all glamping accommodations are as luxurious and expensive as you might think. In fact, semi-permanent cloth “tents” with comfortable furniture and beds but little other amenities are a common way to glamp.

They offer comfort and a way to camp that’s a step above the traditional style, but still offer guests the essence of the great outdoors.

So, try glamping and you might just enjoy your outdoor experience even more than you thought you would!

]]> Traveling has transformed over the past few years. With so many people not wanting to be “the tourists who follow the known roads” but travelers “who explore the unknown,” it seems like there’s not much unknown left to explore. Every corner of the world has been featured in at least a few Instagram photos and we now wonder — what can we expect from traveling in 2020? Here are three trends that will be the biggest.

Micro Hotels

The concept of micro hotels located in remote places, often in nature, is supposed to fight our dependence on technology and connectivity. These hotels are meant for a relaxing vacation where you can set yourself free from everything that’s not necessary for your life.

Environmental Conscience

Travelers are realizing the importance of balancing out the negative impact their travels have on the environment. Every little thing can help, from choosing eco-friendly accommodation to donating money to organizations that develop renewable energy projects.

Hipster Cruise

Up until now, travel companies have been completely ignoring younger people as a cruise target group. This is about to change in 2020 with Richard Branson and his new project Virgin Voyages meant for young people who’ve probably never been on a cruise. The cruiser will feature a tattoo salon, a record store, an open gym, a craft beer bar, etc.

]]> In today’s technology-obsessed world, it’s becoming harder and harder to find places to disconnect and forget about your phones and your computers while on vacation.

One of the worst things for anyone on a trip is to be interrupted by an important phone call from work. Even worse is the temptation to constantly check your email or social media in order to see what others are doing when you’re supposed to be enjoying your time in a new place.

For these reasons, one of the hottest current travel trends on Earth is traveling to remote places to disconnect.

When people think about disconnecting, they usually think about taking an afternoon to themselves in order to go to the beach without their laptop.

A morning walk happened after a long time as friends living and working at Kandbadi in Palampur took me to a water stream through such staircases and paths that are found only in the mountains. . पहाड़ या समुद्र, someone asked this time when they aren't even competing against each other. A bit of both in an ideal case but mountains have felt like home when nothing else has, and for that reason, I'd want myself to stay closer to them ☀ .

However, it’s also possible to do so while traveling.

Take the example of a trip to a remote national park or a small town in the middle of nowhere. In these places, you can enjoy the simple pleasures of life without the distractions of the modern world.

Some people even go so far as to seek cabins and lodges in areas where there isn’t even cell phone service. Although you might miss out on the latest news and sports scores, this is a fantastic way to escape it all.

Doesn’t it sound fantastic? Would you be willing to make a special “disconnection” trip?
