A new year, and a shiny new holiday allowance just waiting to be signed off. What to do with it? Well, if 2018’s travel trends are anything to go by, then you might consider skipping the beach and heading for the colder climes of Iceland or Norway. Prefer the energy of a city? Spend a few days wandering the storied streets of Porto, check into a ryokan in Tokyo or get stuck into K-pop in Seoul. If that’s not enough then extend your business trip, travel with your grandma and book through Amazon Echo. Welcome to travel in 2018.
