Travel in 2024 is shifting towards slow travel, immersive experiences, and hobby holidays. We spoke with Laura Sigsworth, an expert in meaningful and experiential travel, about the evolving landscape of global tourism.
What is Slow Travel?
Slow travel emphasizes quality over quantity, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and forge deeper connections with their surroundings. It’s about sustainability, mindfulness, and authentic experiences.

Hobby Holidays: Combining Passion with Travel
From cooking retreats in Italy to wildlife photography safaris in Africa, hobby holidays are becoming increasingly popular. Travelers seek vacations that align with their personal interests, leading to enriched experiences and lifelong memories.
