Holland America line news – Nieuw Statendam Returns to South Florida Cruising

Written by Traveltalksteam on November 22, 2021. Posted in Cruise, Destination news.

November 22, 2021 – Holland America Line news- Nieuw Statendam departed Fort Lauderdale, Florida, today on its first cruise since the industrywide pause last year. The ship marks the fifth Holland America Line vessel to reenter service, joining Rotterdam, Koningsdam, Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam.

Holland America line news

To commemorate the occasion, Holland America Line held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the terminal to open embarkation, and team members greeted guests with flag-waving fanfare as they boarded the ship. Nieuw Statendam set sail on a seven-day western Caribbean itinerary that will visit Nassau, Bahamas; Ocho Rios and Port Royal, Jamaica; and Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line’s private island in the Bahamas.

Click to Tweet: .@HALcruises’ Nieuw Statendam returns to South Florida #cruising today, kicking off its #Caribbean season. The Pinnacle Class ship marks fifth for the cruise line to reenter service.

“Today is another milestone in our return to service, with Nieuw Statendam starting operation just in time for Thanksgiving, and we have a lot to be thankful for this year that we’re getting back in the water,” said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. “Today is a great day for Holland America Line, and our team members can’t wait to welcome guests on board.”

Nieuw Statendam will spend from November through April in the Caribbean on cruises ranging from seven to 11 days, all roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades. Guests looking for a longer getaway can embark on a Collectors’ Voyage — combined back-to-back itineraries that offer an in-depth exploration covering more than one part of the region.

Every Caribbean cruise includes a call at Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line’s award-winning private Bahamian island. This quaint sanctuary has evolved into a tropical playground for cruise guests and features the white-sand beaches; two-story villas and private cabanas; delicious dining venues like Lobster Shack; a children’s waterpark; and a variety of fun-filled tours for nature lovers, adventurous travelers and explorers.

Holland America Line has been homeporting from Port Everglades since the 1990s. Operationally, each ship visit contributes $364,000 directly to the local economy in provisioning (fuel, food, flowers, piano tuning, supplies, etc.), port taxes and spending. Holland America Line works with nearly 100 South Florida vendors who supply the company and its ships with goods and services.

Throughout the years, Holland America Line has been actively involved with more than 30 nonprofit organizations in South Florida through giving, shipboard lunches and cruise donations, including Seafarers’ House, Henderson Behavioral Health, Coast Guard Women’s Leadership Initiative, Symphony of the Americas, The Opera Society and more.

Maya Bay Thailand eyeing 1 January 2022 reopening

Written by Traveltalksteam on November 22, 2021. Posted in Activity, Destination news.

November 22, 2021 – Maya Bay Thailand in Krabi’s Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park is expected to reopen to tourists on 1 January, 2022, having been off limits to the public for three and a half years to allow for environmental rejuvenation.

The bay on the uninhabited island of Phi Phi Leh has been closed since June 2018, when it was determined the area’s coral and other marine life needed time to recover from the damage being caused by the thousands of daily tourists who were visiting the location.

Maya Bay Thailand

The bay shot to international fame after it featured in the 1999 Leonardo di Caprio movie, The Beach. At its peak in 2017, tourist traffic to the location was recorded at almost 5,000 people a day.

Environmental authorities said the famous tourist spot would only reopen to visitors after an upgrade to facilities was carried out and an adequate system was put in place to manage visiting tourist numbers.

On 14 November, 2021, a high-level delegation of executives from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment led by H.E. Mr. Warawut Silpa-archa, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, and Mr. Jatuporn Burusphat, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, was given an update on the infrastructure improvements being made at Phi Phi Leh for the reopening of Maya Bay.

This includes a new jetty at Loh Samah Bay on the opposite side of the island, which boats taking tourists to see Maya Bay will now have to use. Experts had advised that if the recovery of coral reefs in the area was to continue, the only access to Maya Bay must be via this new jetty.

Also, daily visitor numbers to Maya Bay will be controlled to protect the local environment and marine ecosystem, and a specific area will be designated for swimming. Terrestrial and marine ecosystem recovery has been seen at Maya Bay thanks to its closure since mid-2018. To aid the rejuvenation, officials planted a new coral reef area and more trees on the beach to help prevent shore erosion.

Eurowings flights to Scandinavia – 4 new destinations in Northern Europe starting in festive December

Written by Traveltalksteam on November 22, 2021. Posted in Airline, Destination news.

November 22, 2021 – Eurowings flights to Scandinavia – Sweden, Norway and Finland. Just in time for the Christmas season, Eurowings has added four very special winter destinations in Sweden, Finland, and Norway to its flight schedule: beginning in early December, the airline will be flying to four new destinations in Northern Europe from Düsseldorf and Stuttgart. In the regions around Tromsø (Norway), Luleå and Kiruna (both in Sweden) and Rovaniemi (Finland), which is known as the home region of Santa Claus, fascinating landscapes, and nature experiences such as the polar night, the northern lights or extravagant leisure experiences such as dog sledding or icebreaker trips await travelers from Germany.

Eurowings flights to Scandinavia

From Düsseldorf to Tromsø in Norway

From Düsseldorf, Eurowings’ largest base, Eurowings will take off for Tromsø in Norway for the first time on 4 December. The city lies 344 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, at the latitude of northern Alaska. As a travel destination, the region is particularly attractive because of the northern lights. The Düsseldorf-Tromsø route will be offered every Saturday at prices from 47.99 euros, and also on Tuesdays as of 21 December. An Airbus A319 will be used on the route.

From Düsseldorf to Rovaniemi in Lapland

Also from Düsseldorf, Eurowings will be flying to Rovaniemi in Finland on Sundays beginning on 5 December. The city is near the Arctic Circle, a little further south than Tromsø. In addition to these regular flights, the airline will be flying its passengers from the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia to Rovaniemi on 23 and 30 December 2021 as well as on 4 and 6 January 2022. Rovaniemi is the capital of Lapland and is primarily known to tourists from Germany for its northern lights’ tours. However, in addition to the cozy Santa Claus village about eight kilometers north of central Rovaniemi, visitors to the city can also explore the science center and the impressive Arktikum museum, with spectacular architecture and exhibitions on the history of the far North and life in the region. Flights from Düsseldorf to Rovaniemi start at 59.99 euros for a one-way ticket.

From Stuttgart to Kiruna and Luleå in Sweden

The Swedish cities of Kiruna and Luleå are newly accessible from Southern Germany in the 2021/22 winter flight schedule: Eurowings will fly to both destinations from Stuttgart. Flights to Luleå will start on 19 December 2021. Luleå is located in the north of Sweden and captivates with its mystical polar lights and crystal-clear icy landscapes. The area offers attractive leisure experiences such as snowmobile safaris, aurora tours or trips with the icebreaker. Eurowings will be flying the Stuttgart-Luleå route on Wednesdays and Sundays with an Airbus A319 starting in mid-December, with prices starting at 47.99 euros for a one-way ticket.

Kiruna, the northernmost city in Sweden, is the second new destination from Stuttgart. The polar night here lasts from 12 to 31 December. Visitors to the region can look forward to activities such as skiing, dog-sledding and snowshoeing. The ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi is also a visitor magnet: it is rebuilt every year starting in October and opens in December. Eurowings will be flying to northern Sweden every Saturday from 18 December 2021, with prices starting at 47.99 euros for a one-way ticket.

All the new routes can be booked at eurowings.com and conveniently in the Eurowings app. Eurowings passengers travel with maximum flexibility and safety: throughout Europe, the airline has introduced exemplary security concepts at airports and on board. More information can be found here: https://www.eurowings.com/en/information/news-help/corona-information-hub.html

The airlines of the Lufthansa Group (Eurowings, Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines) are offering around 80,000 additional seats on 440 supplemental flights for the upcoming holiday season over Christmas and New Year’s. By resuming flights to destinations and increasing the frequency of existing connections or deploying larger aircraft, the airlines are responding to the demand for flights during the winter holidays that has been rising for weeks.

Alaska Airlines flies to Belize – 1st flight to Belize City from SEA and LAX

Written by Traveltalksteam on November 22, 2021. Posted in Airline, Destination news.

November 22, 2021 – Alaska airlines flies to Belize as of now. If you’re looking for a new international destination to escape to – with an unbeatable mix of beaches, adventures and heritage that’s not too far away from the West Coast – it’s time to consider sun-splashed Belize. To make that trip planning easier, Alaska Airlines began nonstop service today to Belize City from Seattle and Los Angeles.

Alaska airlines flies to Belize

From Belize’s capital city, the sky’s the limit for exploration and fun. Given the strong demand for flights to Belize and building on our prior announcement of seasonal service in the winter, Alaska now intends to fly the Los Angeles-Belize City route year-round.

“For nearly two decades the Belizean market has been on our radar. We’re thrilled to now be inaugurating service from both Seattle and Los Angeles,” said Brett Catlin, vice president of network and alliances at Alaska Airlines. “Belize offers terrific family-friendly, eco-conscious possibilities – from iconic islands to lush jungles and ancient sites. And it’s closer than you might think: From L.A., it’s only a five-hour flight, and from Seattle it’s six hours.”

“In addition to attracting greater business investment and human capital, this new flight will also spur tourism which is essential for Belize’s prosperity. It comes at a very opportune time as it further boosts the industry’s recovery efforts,” noted Hon. Anthony Mahler, Minister of Tourism & Diaspora Relations. “We therefore value our partnership with Alaska Airlines in providing such a vital connectivity for travelers from the West Coast interested in reinvigorating themselves and relaxing in our tropical jewel while immersing in a rich, unique cultural experience.”

Alaska’s service to Belize operates four times a week between Los Angeles and Belize City (BZE) and twice weekly between Seattle and Belize City – just in time for the holiday season. Tickets can be purchased at alaskaair.com.

All times are local times

Our inaugural service to Belize on Nov. 19 happens to coincide with Garifuna Settlement Day, one of the nation’s most important holidays which celebrates the arrival of the Garifuna people in 1802.

Belize offers a warm, sunny location during wintertime travel with countless things to do. English is the official language and the U.S. dollar is widely accepted. Belize is the fourth country Alaska flies to from our West Coast hubs joining Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica. Read more about the incredible possibilities Belize has to offer on our Blog.

For the latest on travel health and safety, the Belize Tourism Board has outlined the essential information travelers need to know.

Alaska prides itself on delivering low fares with great value and genuine, caring service. On board, our guests can enjoy food and drinks crafted with a range of refreshing, bright flavors inspired by West Coast ingredients. With our inflight entertainment, flyers can watch more than 1,100 movies and TV shows – all for free on their own devices and enjoy free texting while in the air.

With our highly-acclaimed Mileage Plan program, they can earn and redeem miles to fly on oneworld member airlines or our additional airline partners to more than 1,000 destinations around the world.

Alaska remains committed to Next-Level Care for our guests and employees by implementing more than 100 ways to maintain the highest standard of safety – from clean planes to clean air in the cabin with hospital-grade air filtration systems. For everyone’s safety on board, Alaska continues to enforce the federally mandated mask policy, even for those who are fully vaccinated.

Nordic Business Travel Summit 2022 | Transforming the way we meet

Nordic Business Travel Summit is an annual event gathering buyers and suppliers of Business Travel as well as Meetings & Events related services across the region. The 2022 Summit will offer an unparalleled opportunity for networking with the Nordics when Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish Business Travel Associations bring our members and partners physically together for the first time since 2019.

By including M&E content, #NBTS2022 is showing understanding of the profound change in the way businesses/organizations are going to operate and communicate in post-covid times. In-person meetings generate need for Business Travel, whether individual or in group. Digital meetings reduce that same need. The two categories co-exist and cannot be properly analyzed nor managed without each other.

We’d love to meet YOU in Stockholm on 23 – 24 March, 2022!

Hotel Indigo French Riviera – opens 2nd hotel in France

Written by Traveltalksteam on November 19, 2021. Posted in Destination news, Hotel.

November 19, 2021 –Leading boutique and lifestyle brand Hotel Indigo, has just opened Hotel Indigo Cagnes-sur-Mer, the brand’s first hotel on the French Riviera, growing its footprint in the market. Taking inspiration from its Mediterranean surroundings, the hotel is a unique retreat for those looking to explore the medieval neighbourhood and the town’s coastline.

Hotel Indigo French Riviera

Just as no two neighbourhoods are alike, no two Hotel Indigo hotels are alike. Hotel Indigo French Riviera, opens in Cagnes-sur-Mer. The hotel has 87 guest rooms all designed to mimic the neighbourhood in which it is situated, with a blue and white theme to help create a truly relaxing seaside retreat for guests. Guests staying at the hotel will also get the opportunity to take a piece of the neighbourhood home with them, whether that be a selection of the amenities from L’Atelier de la Maison Jaune, a locally crafted natural cosmetics brand made in Nice or a beautiful French Riviera Girls scarf that forms part of the uniform at the hotel.

Known for being a popular destination for well-known artists including Renoir, Chaïm Soutine, and Yves Klein, and the inspiration for many famous paintings, Cagnes-sur-Mer is often referred to as the ‘Montmartre of the French Riviera’. The town is a 15-minute drive from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, quietly nestled between the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and beautiful hills lined with olive and cypress trees. Situated between the resorts of Cannes and Nice along the Côte d’Azur, this unassuming town has a rich history and stunning landscape to charm its visitors. From the medieval castle to the fascinating Renoir Museum, the 19^th-century fishing village and the restaurant-lined coastal boulevard, Promenade de la Plage, there is plenty on offer for those looking to indulge in a slice of French culture.

As guests enter Hotel Indigo Cagnes-sur-Mer, they will be met with an array of light turquoise hues that contrast with rich darker blues to reflect the unique shades of the sea and the endless skies which the Riviera is known for. The soft furnishings throughout the hotel’s public areas continue to evoke a nautical feel, with decorative rugs that feature waved patterns, the use of soft curved edges, and light fittings which mimic the waves that lap up against the coastline. Nodding to the destination’s link to notable French artists, the artwork that can be seen throughout the hotel has been specially curated, partnering with local talent. Thanks to a partnership with Eric Garence, the Cote d’Azur ambassador and poster designer, guests can send home a one-of-a-kind postcard to family and friends.

Laurence Lovera, General Manager, Hotel Indigo Cagnes-sur-Mer, commented: “We are extremely happy to have opened the doors to our wonderful hotel. Cagnes-sur-Mer is a truly unique retreat and has so much to offer those looking to explore an undiscovered neighbourhood of the French Riviera. Hotel Indigo was the perfect brand to open here, and we are looking forward to creating an experience for guests that is truly unique to the local neighbourhood.”

Hotel Indigo Cagnes-sur-Mer has a spectacular rooftop pool with panoramic views of the Grimaldi Castle, a great place to sit back and enjoy the view with a drink in hand. The hotel’s Italian restaurant Cucina Victoria, is the newest in the neighbourhood, specialising in locally sourced seafood with dishes like Fritto Misto and creamy prawn risotto. The restaurant is the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring and welcomes guests and locals alike to enjoy views of the open kitchen and Italian-inspired cuisine.

Hotel Indigo, the world’s largest boutique hotel brand, has 129 hotels globally, with another 116 set to open in the coming years*. There are a selection of openings coming up towards the end of 2021 including Hotel Indigo Vancouver-Downtown, Washington, Hotel Indigo Flushing, New York, and Hotel Indigo New Orleans French Quarter in the US. Openings in early 2022 will include Hotel Indigo Karuizawa and Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen Garden in Japan, Hotel Indigo Brisbane in Australia, Hotel Indigo Galapagos and Hotel Indigo Vienna.

As an IHG hotel, guests can be reassured that cleanliness is top of mind throughout each step of their stay. The company’s longstanding commitment to rigorous cleaning procedures has been enhanced with the IHG Way of Clean programme developed with Ecolab and Diversey, both world leaders in hygiene and cleaning technologies. As part of the IHG family of brands, Hotel Indigo Cagnes-sur-Mer offers guests additional peace of mind with the IHG Clean Promise.

Prices start from 99€ a night for a standard room and IHG Rewards members will receive exclusive member rates and save more when they book direct at ihg.com.

Indaba 2022 – tradeshow returns!

Written by Traveltalksteam on November 19, 2021. Posted in Destination news, Featured events.

November 19, 2021 – The South Africa Tourism authority just announced that after the cancellation of two signature global trade shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic, South African Tourism is excited to once again host both Meetings Africa and Africa’s Travel Indaba.

The destination marketing organisation has today confirmed that the flagship business events and leisure trade shows will return next year, with both platforms being hosted as physical events with limited virtual components.

Indaba 2022

The last Meetings Africa was hosted in February 2020, just before the coronavirus outbreak, when it celebrated its 15^th year anniversary.

Africa’s Travel Indaba did not take place in 2020 and 2021 due to global restrictions on movement and immigration regulations necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meetings Africa will take place from 28^th February 2022 to 2^nd March 2022 at the Sandton Convention Centre, in Johannesburg, while Africa’s Travel Indaba will be hosted from 2^nd to 5^th May 2022 at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre in Durban. Both events will have virtual participation capabilities, albeit to a limited extent.

As South African Tourism charges forward with its commitment to the recovery of the tourism sector, the return of these shows will promote and market the country’s business events hosting capability and showcase destination South Africa’s leisure tourism products and experiences. The hosting of these events will contribute to the country’s economy, as delegates from various parts of the world will attend these trade shows.

Over the recent past, South Africa has recorded a significant reduction in the number of new COVID-19 infections. The vaccination program is well under way as part of the South African government’s efforts to contain the spread of the virus. The country aims to have 70% of its adult population fully vaccinated by the end of 2021.

During his address to the nation on 30th September 2021, His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa moved South Africa to adjusted alert level 1, reduced the hours of curfew and increased the number of people permitted for gatherings up to 750 people for indoor and 2 000 people for outdoor gatherings providing a major boost for both for leisure travel as well as for the Business Events industry.

“We are very pleased to bring Meetings Africa and Africa’s Travel Indaba back. The need for physical events and face-to-face encounters is evident in both the industry and the public. The experiences over the last months have shown that on-location events can take place safely and successfully, and demonstrate how important they are for dialogue and exchange. We recently hosted Africa’s Travel and Tourism Summit, a hybrid format which was a well-executed and attended bringing the tourism sector together for a common purpose of reigniting the tourism sector” said Sthembiso Dlamini, Acting CEO of South African Tourism.

While Africa’s Travel and Tourism Summit was not a replacement for Meetings Africa and Africa’s Travel Indaba, it did provide a platform to showcase the African continent’s leisure tourism offerings and business event capabilities.

“Hosting Meetings Africa and Africa’s Travel Indaba will certainly show our exhibitors, buyers, and the world, that South Africa is open for business and that the South African tourism sector has world-class COVID-19 safety protocols in place to deliver on memorable experiences and events. South Africa is ready and well prepared to welcome delegates from across the world,” Dlamini concluded.

Registration details for delegate participation for these trade shows will be announced soon.

European travel – Pre-pandemic levels will not be achieved until 2024

Written by Traveltalksteam on November 19, 2021. Posted in Destination news.

November 19, 2021 – Despite a strong summer rebound, international tourist arrivals to Europe are forecast to be 60% below 2019 by the end of 2021

European tourist arrivals were still down 77% half-way through the year relative to 2019
European air passenger growth gained momentum over the months of June (-69%), July (-57%) and August (-49%) compared to pre-pandemic levels

European travel

Although European travel demand is poised for a major recovery due to the high vaccination rates in Europe, volumes are still far from the pre-pandemic days which are not expected to be surpassed until 2024. The most recent edition of the ‘European Tourism Trends & Prospects’ quarterly report from the European Travel Commission (ETC) continues to monitor the COVID-19 impact on the sector, examining how travel activity is rebounding amid the current wave of infections and ongoing vaccination programmes.

Commenting following the publication of the report, Luís Araújo, ETC’s President, said: “From our latest ‘European Tourism Trends & Prospects’ quarterly report, it is clear to see the critical role vaccination programmes have already played in helping travel rebound. The COVID-19 vaccine rollout was vital to the easing of entry requirements and boosting the appeal of travel during the summer season. However, vaccination efforts won’t be enough. As the winter months approach, it is imperative that Europe strives to further restore the freedom of movement by implementing more holistic and coherent approaches for travel within and outside the EU.”

Increased demand for European tourism

Europe currently has the highest vaccination rate of the world’s regions, which is expected to enable the release of significant pent-up demand. In fact, European destinations already enjoyed a stronger than expected summer season owing to successful vaccination programmes. Moreover, the creation of the EU Digital COVID-19 Certificate was fundamental to ensuring safe travel across the region and helped to simplify cross-border mobility. Intra-regional travel as a result experienced an uplift and is set to account for 85% of European international arrivals in 2021, up from 77% in 2019.

The travel recovery observed has been different across destinations, with those that reopened their borders earlier to vaccinated travellers being the most favoured. As the first nation to reopen to COVID-free tourists, Greece delivered the strongest rebound in overnight terms (-19% vs. 2019), although foreign arrivals were weak. The strongest pick up in arrivals from 2019 rates was observed in Croatia (-37%), which was able to extend its outstanding performance into off-season, welcoming 1.9 million tourist arrivals in September. In contrast, Czech Republic (-94%) recorded the sharpest decline with stringent COVID-19 measures extended throughout the year.

All reporting European destinations enjoyed higher levels of hotel occupancy this summer compared to 2020, based on data for July-September. Several destinations reported occupancy rates close to 70%, including Slovenia, the UK, Monaco and Turkey. European air passenger growth also gained momentum over the months of June (-69%), July (-57%) and August (-49%) compared to 2019, although global revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) in August remained half of pre-COVID-19 levels. The relative improvement throughout the summer months was mainly driven by domestic air travel demand.

A long road ahead

Although European travel has made positive strides in 2021, there is still a long road ahead as international tourist arrivals to Europe were still down 77%[1] half-way through the year. A slower vaccine rollout across Eastern Europe, and in some large long-haul source markets, may potentially delay the recovery, presenting a lingering downside risk.

ETC also observed a notable absence of long-haul travellers, with US arrivals to Europe remaining 90% below their 2019 levels for one third of reporting destinations. The absence of Chinese holidaymakers was also sorely felt across Europe, with all reporting destinations posting declines over 90% compared to 2019.

Overall, international tourist arrivals to Europe are forecast to be 60% below 2019 by the end of 2021 with many other factors continuing to weigh on Europe’s tourism recovery. These include ever-changing COVID-19 restrictions and policies, renewed outbreaks and the confusion around the colour-coded EU travel system applied differently across European destinations. The adoption of different systems for accepting non-EMA recognised vaccines may also continue to impact destinations heavily reliant on long-haul travel.

Google highlights 2022 travel trends

Google highlights 2022 travel trends

As travel and the industry powering it moves through recovery from the pandemic, Google has identified three key areas that will grow in importance over the next year.

According to the online search giant, heading into 2022, travel will become more meaningful, with a rise in “life moments” that were put on hold because of the pandemic.

Google commissioned Ipsos for a survey that reveals that more than half (56%) of Americans are likely to participate in a life moment in the next two years.

Among that group, travel plays a key role, be that traveling for a wedding, job, education or moving. Of those planning to participate in a life moment in the next two years, 78% are considering travel related to those moments.

According to the survey, 62% of Americans who have stayed in an accommodation or booked a flight for a life moment say previous experience with a brand is important when deciding on a brand.

About 78% of travelers who have stayed in accommodations or booked a flight say good change or cancellation policies are important when deciding on a brand, whereas 85% say affordable prices are important.

The study also reveals that 70% of travelers say a brand’s respect for COVID safety guidelines and restrictions is important when decided on a travel brand, and 57% of Americans who took a larger trip in the past year used an online source to get inspiration or ideas related to their trip.

On average, travelers who took a large trip in the past year spent 71% of their time researching their trip online.

In addition to a rise in life moments, Google believes travel will also become more inclusive moving into the next year, which will influence talent, teams, culture and marketing.

Three in four travelers will seek out information specific to their cultural and ethnic backgrounds, with the top sources being word of mouth, travel guide sites and social media influencers.

Finally, Google says travel will become more purposeful moving into the next year, and data and insights will be necessary to influence sustainability.

According to Ipsos, environmental considerations are important to potential travelers, with more than 50% of travelers saying considerations such as carbon emissions and offsets are worth important when considering travel.

Additionally, 51% of travelers who stayed in accommodations or booked a flight for a life moment say sustainable/environmentally friendly options are important when deciding on a brand.
