I've found website links to prove that the concept of "protest travel" is alive and well.
This "concept" of using travel as a protest has,
according to Google AI, taken hold: "...Yes, the
concept of "protest" travel is emerging, where individuals or groups
choose to travel or alter their travel plans in response to political or social
issues, often related to the policies or actions of a specific country or
destination. This can involve reconsidering trips to a particular location,
engaging in travel that supports specific causes, or even using travel as a
form of activism."
In today's era, protest travel can
mean a number of things, especially combative and often violent engagement to
express opinion and politics, but then, the why of using 'time off' from work
to express a 'piss off' is subject to the nature of those who may want a
community to be with when they aren't at work, likewise, retired individuals
may want a travel experience with a community, and they may enjoy paying for
travel that for them is meaningful.
And it may be the "concept" of
travel without a meaningful experience other than time to unwind, or effect a
temporary change of environment, is no longer in fashion.
Perhaps in 2025, what with the world aflame with anger and killing, talking about, or showing photos of the
recent travel experience, is considered as boasting of exploits that mean
little in today's era of violence, now some believe the
peaceful happy travel time, is an extravagance for self-absorbed people.
Whatever concept of travel you prefer, happy traveling, and
don't forget to make those memories even those that have you doing "protest" travel!
