Where are you going this year?
2022 was the year of “revenge travel”, a year where people wanted to make up for all that lost time during the two years of the pandemic. People packed up their suitcases, backpacks and trolley bags and went out to explore the world, looking for unique adventures and life changing moments. And truly there was a lot of travelling…
Our Instagram feeds were filled with content creators and seasoned travellers heading to the likes of Fiji, Colombia, Vietnam, Masai Mara, Maldives and Adelaide in Australia. Closer to home, there were trips to Jammu and Kashmir, and Kerala. And with Sri Lanka reopening and safe for tourists, there was a flurry of travellers, posing against the sunset and enjoying local grubs. 2022 became the year people reinvented themselves.
Now that we are done with “revenge” travelling, what does 2023 hold for us? Here is a quick look at the travel trends and destinations of 2023.
