Workcations
Now that most of the organisations across the globe have accepted the work-from-home concept, the demand for workcations will increase next year. The flexibility of remote work with leisure travel is expected to go up by 40 percent.
Unexplored and hidden destinations
Another big shift in travel, as per experts, will be seen in travellers interested in exploring the unexplored hidden destinations in 2022. People will prefer to visit spots that are unheard of.
Sustainable travel options
People have become aware of the importance of sustainable travel. The pandemic has made people cautious about nature and its significance in the long run, so travellers are expected to book more sustainable travel options next year.
No advance booking
In the pre-pandemic era, people tended to book their tickets much in advance. From flight bookings to hotel reservations, everything was done months before, which was cost effective. Now, this trend has become a thing of the past. Travellers would no longer be booking tickets or hotels in advance because lockdowns and flight cancellations can happen anytime!
Nature is calling
Since the pandemic started, people have been mostly indoors. But now, with vaccinations and booster shots, travellers are hoping for better travel days in 2022. The demand for natural destinations is expected to increase as people have been craving outdoors.
Homestays for staycations
Travel experts are also hoping that given the current situation, demand for homestays will also increase next year, with more and more people wanting to travel safely and staying at smaller places with less exposure to other people.
Digitalisation
Technology has changed the lifestyle of people in every aspect and travel is no different. From booking tickets to choosing hotels, the pandemic has fast-tracked people’s lives digitally, like magic! Virtual travel is expected to pick pace.
