6. Astro Tourism: Astro tourism, or star bathing, is the act of
travelling with the aim of catching sight of astronomical phenomena
– disappearing to lands devoid of any pollu琀椀on, crowds and tra昀케c,
where we can focus solely on the skies above and while away hours
gazing at the stars, planets and constella琀椀ons overhead.
7. Home Swapping: Increasingly,
discerning travellers are
looking to stay away for longer
stretches, while the rise of
remote jobs post-pandemic
means that working and living
abroad has never been more
appealing. Many countries are
o昀昀ering Digital Nomad Visas to
accommodate the demand!
9. Sports Tourism: We are
taking our cheering out of the
house and away from the TV
to follow a host of di昀昀erent
sports in des琀椀na琀椀ons across
the world, planning holidays
that hinge around seeing
games, races and other
ac琀椀vi琀椀es in exo琀椀c locales,
and extending trips on either
side to see the sights too.
10. Biohacking: The science of
extending life and op琀椀mising
health has become the focus
at many hotels. Blue Zone
retreats are the new boot camps
and even sybari琀椀c resorts are
o昀昀ering the latest biohacks.
Poolside vitamin IV anyone?
8. Coolca琀椀ons: Many
are op琀椀ng not to
follow the sun, rather
booking “coolca琀椀ons” in
temperate des琀椀na琀椀ons,
which also bene昀椀t from
being less crowded.
11. Silent Travel: Silent
medita琀椀on retreats are
an increasingly popular
wellness trend, but silent
travel also encompasses
secluded nature resorts,
sleep retreats, quiet
hotels, silent walking tours
and even silent disco and
concert experiences.
As we look
towards 2024,
wellness travel is
not just a trend; it’s
a movement. It’s
about embracing
travel as a means
to enhance our
wellbeing and
connect with the
world in a more
meaningful way.
So, are you ready
to pack your bags
for a wellness
adventure? Trust
me, your mind,
body, and soul will
thank you for it!
