Post Covid trends in tourism have seen exponential and steady growth in the travel industry.

Like every industry, travel is influenced by the trends and trends that are in vogue at the moment.

This phenomenon has led to the development of different types of tourism, today we mention some:

  • Domestic tourism

We refer to the movement of residents of a country within its borders. This tourism, following the pandemic, has seen its numbers increase exponentially in all countries. This choice is given by preferring easily accessible destinations because they instill more security.

Domestic tourism allows you to discover your country from a landscape, cultural and much more.

  • Food and wine tourism

In this form of tourism we prefer the use of food and wine as tools to discover the history and culture of the place we visit. So the journey is lived at 360 degrees in the flavors and smells with the use of the two senses of travelers.

Taste local products and dishes at the production companies, participate in cooking classes with local chefs and typical accommodation facilities, participate in the production of wines and local oils, are the must for this type of trip.

  • Spa tourism

 

Increasingly popular in recent years, spa tourism returns to the forefront with its beneficial aspects.

Let yourself be pampered by vapors, natural springs, mud to live a holiday of psychophysical and mental well-being. If you are looking for a relaxing break, the spa is the best choice to make.

You will also have the opportunity to discover places full of history, as well as wellness, as already in use in ancient Roman times. Some lesser known but not to be discarded places for this type of travel are the towns of Bath, Budapest, Aachen and Bucharest. Have a good time!

  • Sustainable tourism

This type of tourism has developed to combat environmental change and is the main trend of the moment. It aims to offer a journey in full contact with a place, but respecting the host community, local culture and the environment. Reducing its environmental impact preserves the uniqueness and authenticity of the places and its natural resources. If you want to know more, we talked about it in this article!

  • Experiential tourism

Last but not least, this tourism has as its function the knowledge of himself coming into contact with nature and the surrounding reality. More and more people embark on this kind of journey in order to create sensory memories, test themselves and challenge their limits in order to live that sense of freedom that only traveling can experience. Experiences like feeding elephants in Thailand or waking up in a desert tent, attending retreats in Buddhist monasteries, diving into the forests of Mangrove or taking a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia.

The idea of the Sleepbox comes from two Russian architects : Krimov Md and Gorjainov Av.

Literally “the box for sleeping”, is a space specially created for the traveller who can use it to work, relax or sleep during the break between one move and another.

These mini rooms are attention to detail and feature an innovative design and hi-tech aimed at achieving a particular care of privacy, have dimensions ranging from 2.5 to 3 meters high and up to about 4 square meters.

In its largest version it can accommodate 3 people, equipped with two bunk beds, a bedside table, space for luggage and electrical outlets for pc and smartphone connection.

Returning to the care of privacy, the Sleepbox provide electric curtains that obscure the glass windows, while inside the lighting is totally LED lights.

The latest models include a touch screen from which to control the functions of the environment and a distributor of drinks and snacks.

It can be rented from a minimum of 30 minutes up to a few hours, with the possibility of saving in case of longer stays.

The first Sleepbox can be found at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow since 2011 and has aroused great enthusiasm in the public. Also in Moscow, near the train and metro station Belorusskiy was opened a real hotel Sleepbox.

Thanks to the public outcry, Sleepboxes are arriving at many other airports and stations.

Sustainable tourism is a philosophy inspired by sustainable development and includes all forms of environmentally friendly tourism and attention to the well-being of the host populations.


Responsible tourism meet certain requirements, such as:

  • Make optimum use of environmental resources by preserving essential ecological processes and contributing to the conservation of natural resources and biodiversity.
  • Respect the socio-cultural authenticity of the host communities, preserve and contribute to intercultural tolerance and understanding.
  • Ensure long-term sustainable economic activities by providing equitable socio-economic benefits, including stable employment and income opportunities, social services for host communities and contributing to the fight against poverty.
  • Allow the tourist to live interesting experiences, while raising awareness of the impact that his trip has on the places visited.

 

The sustainable development of tourism has as its objective not only the fight against waste and the use of polluting materials, but proactive actions that create well-being and opportunities for the territory and requires constant control of the impact that travelers have on the local population and environment.

There are various types of sustainable tourism:

  • Community tourism: It is a form of tourism in which hospitality is entirely managed by the local population.

  • Slow Tourism: It consists in discovering a destination at your own pace. This movement is a real lifestyle.

  • Fair tourism: Inspired by fair trade that allows a fairer remuneration of local communities.

  • Participatory tourism: Reinvents hospitality by actively involving the traveller in local life.

  • Ecotourism: It respects the environment and the well-being of people, is practiced exclusively in the natural environment and must be a source of sustainable funding for the host communities.

  • Solidarity tourism: It creates a bond of solidarity between the traveller and the populations. A financial contribution from the traveller or tour operator is donated to local development projects.

  • Agrotourism: This is sustainable tourism in agricultural environments. Its objective is to facilitate the meeting with the producer and to perpetuate the activity allowing him to diversify between visits, tastings and recreational activities.

  • Humanitarian tourism: ethical and sustainable stay, which contributes to the improvement of the living conditions of local populations. Conveying knowledge and contributing to local development are all tasks that tourists are encouraged to participate in.


The aim of traveling and promoting a green choice is to limit air pollution, gas emissions, enhance the resources of the territory, protect the flora and fauna of the place.

 

In 2023 we would have several sporting events not to be missed.

  1. The Champions League Final in Istanbul: It will take place at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium on 10 June 2023 at 21. Located in the district of Basaksehir, west of the Bosphorus, it can accommodate over 75,000 spectators. This is an excellent opportunity to visit the fantastic Istanbul and among the places not to be missed are the majestic Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, which some consider the oldest and most impressive shopping center in the world, the Suleymaniye Mosque, the Blue Mosque and its wonderful mosaics, the Basilica Cisterna, an architectural marvel and one of the most mysterious and fascinating Byzantine monuments of the city.                                                                                                                                                      
  2. Real Madrid theme park in Dubai: Sponsored by Dubai Parks and Resorts, it will most likely be called Hala Madrid! and will feature a museum, roller coaster and football skill games. The new park, complete with its own entrance gate, will be located between Motiongate Dubai and the Bollywood theme parks and is expected to open on undeveloped land in the fourth quarter of 2023. The park entrance gate overlooks the Riverland Dubai’s restaurant and shopping district in Dubai’s parks and resorts. Visitors will enjoy the audiovisual experience, interactive in the spirit of Real Madrid.
