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.
