Workation to road trips, 05 travel trends that will rule 2021
2020 ruined all our travel plans, but the next year seems to be full of possibilities and adventures. So, we decided to list down 05 possible travel trends that will rule the coming year.
1.WORKATION
As we all shifted our bases online in 2020, it became a lot clearer that, going forward, a lot of businesses might shift towards working from home. And with this new change, people realised all they need is electricity and a good internet connection to work from anywhere while travelling to their hearts fill. Workation is what the word literally means – work+vacation. Several companies have come up with brilliant travel plans for people willing to blur the lines between work and leisure, making workation the biggest trend of 2021
2.ROAD TRIPS
When the pandemic started, one of the first things to shut down were aviation services. This had given a push to road travel as travelling in personal vehicles and rented cars emerged as a much safer option. Therefore, it is highly possible that the trend will continue in 2021, as travellers will continue to choose road trips over flights, as undoubtedly it is a one-of-a-kind experience. It’s perfect for travellers of all ages and families and is socially distant by design. Additionally, you have control over where you want to go next, thus opening up a plethora of options.
3.REATING A BUCKET LIST
If Covid-19 hampered your big travel ideas, then this is the perfect time to research about all the big plans you have made for yourself. As creating your bucket list is going to be the biggest trend in 2021. With the restrictions around the virus changing every day, you have a lot more time in your hands to do in-depth planning and saving for that dream trip you’ve always talked about. So, saving is the next big thing. Good news, the travel industry has become more than flexible with cancellation policies, so this is the time for you.
4.DOMESTIC TRAVEL
Due to travel restrictions, foreign borders have been constantly opening and closing. To deal with such uncertainty, travellers could turn inwards and choose to explore their own country more. And boy, there’s plenty to see in India. This is the time to visit all those remote destinations you have only heard or read about but gave up on them for that trip abroad. So, go on hikes, trek to your hearts fill, visit famous local destinations, and do so much more. Because 2021 will be about exploring the gems that the country holds.
5.TRAVEL BUBBLES
Travel Bubble is an agreement between two or more countries that open their borders to each other only. This helps facilitate travel between countries while keeping in mind all the health restrictions and safety of local and international citizens. This is a trend that will continue to evolve in 2021 also, possibly on a smaller scale. Right now, India has travel bubble arrangements with several nations.
