2025 travel trends

   Travel trends in 2025 show communities around the world are embracing a growing desire for more authentic travel. This will allow travelers to have less time on tour buses and more time with local residents. It also opens the door for more sustainable travel.
     What does this 2025 travel trend mean?
     The usual process of taking a tour means getting on bus and stopping at the tourist sights, however, for 2025 and beyond, travelers will be taking a plane to the destination, and then staying there to speak with the locals, find out about the culture, investigate the restaurants, walk around and use the same means of transportation.
     Why is this particular travel trend so meaningful?
     The fact is that travel with a friend or partner/companion is changed, too, women are traveling solo, and they are embracing the fact that they can be on their own, enter a restaurant and sit at a table unafraid to look and observe, they no longer fear being stared at, what will soon happen then is that locals will engage, too, perhaps restaurants will set up communal tables just for solo travelers.
     Although I have chosen not to travel anymore, all my memories are of traveling solo.
     I remember speaking to the women at the airports who worked at the concession stands asking me how they, too, can get the courage to investigate the world.  I advise you to build your travel memories while you are young. if your health has limits as you age, those wonderful moments are there, I don't even need to look at the photos.
     Happy travels!

The many itinerations of travel "absolutism"

 

     According to Google, "...ethical travel (or responsible travel) means being mindful of the consequences that being a tourist has on the environment, animals, and people..."
     My research validates travel "absolutism."
    However, "absolutism" travel splits into the offshoots I have discovered by defining the word "absolutism" in the April wordsplusmeanings blogspot post.
    When it comes to travel "absolutism" is a difficult topic to research. 
    For my all my April blogspot blogs I've depended on perusing this topic in depth, yet, I've also noticed individuals who write an opinion based blog have taken over the discussion of the many itinerations of travel's "absolutism," some of which actually need to be "unlocked" to read.
   Regardless, as I always do, I advise you to travel where you want to.
  Let the "why" you want to travel, become a secondary consideration, moreover, I discovered the Pinterest recipe for summer travel 2024 claims the "...top tier..." ideas to get the most out of your trip.  I advise you to keep in mind many niche travel destinations and areas of the world are paying a hefty sum to advertise with Pinterest.
   PRNewswire.com claims their client Squaremouth.com can document the $10,000 plus cost of the 2024 average summer trip has gone up an average 7 percent over 2023. Yet, the original purpose of this blogspot./com blog, nomorenotcomfortable hotels was, and still is, comfort travel at less $.  In my opinion, inflation and saving money does not lead to more comfortable travel.  Here's why:  in 2024 we are living in a world where inflation is being kept at bay by governments globally - they are using interest rates as a political tool to keep their government in power.

Can supporting travel to "democracy" nations be expensive?

     As I like "theme" blogspot monthly posts, the idea of whether supporting "democracy" nations can be expensive was the first question I asked my search engine.
     To my amazement, the list of the most democrat nations, included a few that weren't necessarily expensive, for example, Finland and Sweden, also Iceland, where it is possible to find some interesting and unique locations that offer some $$$saving travel that may also include what I consider "comfort" oriented, too.  I suggest consulting the visualcapitalist website, for destinations that can be $$$ saving and also comfort oriented, too, for example, South Korea and Spain.
     However, supporting travel to nations that are "republic" was even less expensive, and could be quite $$$ saving + comfort oriented, too, for instance, Croatia, Albania, Czech Republic.
     And as well, traveling to support a cause can be $$$ saving, even "for free" travel, but not necessarily comfort oriented, the website "quora.com" has some suggestions, yet perhaps, having the money to travel can bring about a need to feel less indulgent about yourself, and "cause based travel" has a good sound and a better purpose.  Whatever you need to get out there and travel, I suggest do it while you can, leaving that "bucket list" to fester may mean you will never get to do it, as in life, things happen.
     Until next month, happy traveling!
