Travel experts predict that 2021 will be a game changer for anyone who loves to travel. The travel bug in almost everyone has resurfaced. However, the pandemic has changed travel as we know it and thus we have found that there will be several changes in trends for the Indian traveller this year.
Making up for lost time
Ardent travellers who have been stuck at home for over a year will make a comeback. Travel will be on the top of the list for people looking to get a fresh start after the tragedy that we call 2020.
Slow, immersive travel will be preferred
The last year has taught us that it is probably time for us to all stop and smell the roses. We have to enjoy every moment of our lives, and this includes our vacations. More people will choose to have staycations and weekend getaways; even workations will become popular as most people are still working remotely.
More people will choose luxury stays and stay away from hotels.
Safety and hygiene have become the primary concern of today’s traveller. Due to this, they may find themselves looking for options other than hotels where social distancing rules may not be adequately followed and choose more luxury stays in premium homesteads, independent villas, non-hotels, or higher star hotels that can promise them a safe and comfortable vacation. Your travel advisor at Canopy experts can help you find the best offers while ensuring that your travel is purely luxury driven.
Weekend getaways to nearby places will be the new goal
Being cooped up in the house for so long is not easy thus as the pandemic is getting more in control and the vaccine is around the corner more Indians will be looking for weekend getaway options so that they can get out of the house and enjoy the freedom of the great outdoors that they couldn’t do the last year. Fun, quick getaways to nearby destinations will get the traveller ready for the week ahead and give them the motivation they need while working from home in the middle of this pandemic. The short-haul leisure travel segment will see a massive rise in popularity as the days go by, and more people gain the courage to get out of their homes and face the pandemic head-on.
Covid 19 has instilled so much fear in each individual that meeting their relatives is scary, let alone meeting strangers. This being said, the travel and tourism industry has boosted a traveller’s confidence by offering contactless travel as much as possible. However, 100% contactless travel is not yet a reality, but your travel consultant can help you find the most ideal and safest way to enjoy your much needed vacation.
