This is the sign to achieve your travel goals this 2023!
The travel industry has seen unprecedented times, and we really have come so far. The pandemic not only affected tourists but has also put the entire travel and tourism sector in a state of uncertainty. Many people had to cancel their pre-planned trips and postponed their holidays. However, with as the world goes back to what we can call the 'pre-pandemic normal', travel has indeed made a grand comeback. And we're all living for it!
Every year, several trends and predictions are foreseen regarding the travel and tourism industry. With 2023 being the year of fulfilling your traveling goals, here are a few prevailing travel trends to look out for.
Increased domestic travel
The Philippines is one of the most sought-after tourist destinations. As international travel restrictions remain in place, many Filipinos will most likely opt for domestic travel. This 2023, domestic travel is likely to see a significant boost. With people being unable to travel internationally, the focus is now on exploring nearby countries and local tourism. National parks, beaches, upscale resorts, and small, under-the-radar towns are anticipated to be the most popular destinations to be visited here in the Philippines.
Sustainable Travel
Sustainable travel has been gaining popularity in recent years, and it is definitely here to stay. People are becoming more eco-conscious and are looking at ways to travel that have less impact on the environment. Many companies are offering greener options such as carbon offsetting, eco-friendly accommodations, and transportation. As people become more mindful of their impact on the environment, sustainable tourism is sure to become more popular.
The Use of Technology for Travel
Technology is a big factor in transforming the travel industry and progressing it towards innovation and convenience. The rise of mobile apps has made it easier to book trips, find travel deals, and access information about the best and latest travel destinations. The use of augmented reality and virtual reality is also becoming more common, allowing travelers to explore a destination even before they arrive through virtual tours and social media. As technology continues to evolve, it is expected to play a significant role in shaping the future of travel.
Thrilling Travels and Adventures
People are looking for more than just relaxation and sightseeing. Adventure travel will be in demand this 2023, with an increasing number of people seeking out adrenaline-pumping activities such as hiking, trekking, free diving, bungee jumping, and other adventure sports. Travel spots such as Baguio, Negros Occidental, Palawan, and Ilocos are popular destinations for adventure travel and thrill seekers. More travelers are looking for unique experiences that allow them to push their limits while also creating lifelong memories.
Spending More on Experiences; Luxury Travel
They say that it's better to invest your money on travel and experiences, and not on material things. And that is how luxury travel gets into the picture of anticipated tourism trends this 2023. Although it accounts for a minor fraction of the travel industry, luxury travel is expected to see a significant increase this year, as people will do more on 'revenge-travel' locally and internationally. Travelers are looking for unique, personalized experiences and are willing to spend more money to achieve it. Many luxury resorts are offering hybrid experiences that include lavish amenities, offering wellness retreats, and cultural excursions. Luxury tourism is not just about opulence and extravagance; it's about curated experiences and investing in memories that money can never buy.
