Some travel trends come and go, but exploring the world in a more responsible and eco-conscious way is a woke approach to tourism that's definitely here to stay.
So, it's not too surprising to hear that so-called "second-city travel" – choosing lesser-known destinations to ease the touristic burden on well known ones – is expected to be a big trend in 2020.
So too is "slow-mo travel", which means savouring the journey itself, perhaps on a boat or a train, instead of racking up flight shame by jumping on an aeroplane.
These burgeoning trends have been identified by Booking.com. The site's Chief Marketing Officer, Arjan Dijk, said in response: "As we enter a new decade, we’ll see the travel industry respond to a more sustainable, inquisitive and technologically-advanced traveller through the development of products, services and functions that make it easier for everyone to experience the world."
