TRAVEL TRENDS<br />
We always aim to be one step ahead and enjoy observing and predicting travel trends. Here is a quick report on our latest observations<br />
and some top tips for the forthcoming seasons.<br />
This summer it was the turn of familiar and ‘safe’<br />
destinations to reap the benefits of tourists with Spain,<br />
Italy and Canada at the top of the list. Despite the<br />
implementation of more complicated visa requirements,<br />
Russia has also proven very popular and we expect this<br />
to continue into 2017. With very attractive flight inclusive<br />
tour prices (7 nights from around £1,150 per person) you<br />
can easily combine St Petersburg and Moscow into one<br />
trip, especially now the new high speed train service is<br />
running.<br />
are also increased opportunities to prise the littles ones<br />
away from their gadgets. Beach resorts are offering the<br />
opportunity to learn about local plant life with children<br />
picking vegetables which go into Mum & Dad’s dinner that<br />
evening. Wine tasting trips are great for groups of friends<br />
with Napa Valley (below) a great option just a few hours<br />
outside of San Francisco.<br />
Other buzz words in our office include the ‘Mini-moon’<br />
with Sweden’s ICEHOTEL a perfect choice.<br />
Authentic and immersive experiences are on the rise to<br />
such destinations as South America, East Africa and Japan.<br />
Homestays, cooking classes and lecture led tours help<br />
contribute to a life-changing opportunity.<br />
Multi-generational holidays where everyone can spend<br />
quality time together, whilst at the same time having an<br />
enriching experience with historic, cultural and scientific<br />
education at the heart of these holidays. Whilst many still<br />
seek a relaxing break to recharge the batteries, there<br />
‘Baby-moons’ with spa breaks are a perfect choice have<br />
also been popular with destinations such as Portugal and<br />
Morocco fitting the bill. Jordan is also bouncing back, visit<br />
www.jordanholidays.co.uk for more details.<br />
It is safe to say the modern traveller is seeking much more<br />
from their travel experiences and we look forward to the<br />
next challenge!<br />
