In the dynamic world of travel and tourism, there are a few trends which cannot be missed. With life being more hectic than-ever and rise in work pressure, people are increasingly turning towards short stress-relief holidays and weekend getaways. This leads to travel with the aim of getting away from it all. The idea is to indulge oneself completely for a couple of days.
Thus, travelers are taking advantage of the availability of no-frills airlines, affordable hotels and find-and-seek websites to increasingly act on a whim. Thus making spontaneous decisions to go somewhere is becoming the norm, especially for the Internet generation which is used to doing things at lightning speed.
The opposite trend is that with the rise in low cost services worldwide, the appeal of high-cost exclusivity and being pampered, has also increased. For some, low cost fares leave extra cash to splash out on expensive hotels, while for others business and first class cabins are the new hotels.
Another trend that has been noticed is the emergence of cultural tourism. This form of tourism includes everything from backpackers looking for ‘real’ experiences half way up the Amazon, to retirees going in for tours of the Indian slums. As a result towns and cities are increasingly marketing themselves using whatever nature and history have given them. This has led to interest in some unusual destinations such as former Soviet countries and Balkan countries, particularly Croatia. This cultural voyeurism has also resulted in increase in religious tourism.
