THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT TRAVEL TRENDS IN 2022

As we’ve watched COVID-19 make its way across the world, the way we travel has altered dramatically. With no clear road laid out before us, the future of travel will require us to be creative and strategic in order to ensure that the safety of others is never jeopardized.

We shall never forget the years 2020 and 2021. We’ll never forget the day COVID-19 stormed over Asia in the early months of January 2020, changing life as we knew it. For many of us, 2020 was the year when our vacation plans unraveled and we spent more time in one place than we had ever spent before.

With 2020 and 2021 virtually behind us, the first half of 2022 might be spent traveling domestically and privately with locals, with the second half focusing on once-in-a-lifetime journeys around the world, with safety always being a top priority.

Let’s take a look at some of Designer Journeys’ travel industry predictions for 2022 and beyond to see how we’ll be traveling.

5 HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED TRAVEL TRENDS IN 2022

PRIVATE TRAVEL

What was formerly regarded as a luxury is now referred to as “the new normal.” The most common way to see the sights of any chosen place will be through private guided travel and private tours. Minimum contact will be the primary emphasis in 2022, from private vehicle rides from the airport to your accommodation to private guided tours of your chosen places. Private travel is expected to be the best approach to closely control who you come into contact with while on the move for maximum safety.

You can trust local tour operators firms to show you around your chosen travel destination in a way that assures you see everything you want to see without jeopardizing your safety if you put your trust and safety in the hands of your private guide.

In other words, knowing exactly who you are traveling with will be a new trend in the travel industry that will provide the make-or-break confidence that we require in order to explore the world.

CUSTOMISATION
Designer Journeys takes pride in providing tours that are completely customised to ensure that you travel in the way that best matches you, your interests, and your needs. Custom travel will sweep the country and the world, allowing us to account for all contingencies that must be addressed when choosing to explore in a world with COVID-19 – and we are one step ahead!

By customizing a trip, you can ensure that you not only get all you want out of it, but we can also tailor the finer elements to ensure that you are as secure as possible on your travel.

As we work to build a one-of-a-kind vacation for you, we’ll tailor a really local experience to your preferences, putting you at the center of your adventure and ensuring it’s spectacular.

As we prepare to adapt to a world with COVID -19, one suggestion for customizing a trip is to move your accommodation from the city center to a more rural location and then take your tour from there. This not only creates a more local experience by allowing you to see first-hand what it’s like to stay in the areas, but you’ll still be able to see all of the famous sites that will round out your trip.

TRAVELLING LOCALLY IN 2022

We might begin to think outside the box when it comes to travel if we imagine ourselves in a circumstance where travel limitations are eliminated. This is when we at Designer Journeys quickly resort to our network of trusted Local Designers in over 70 places that know exactly where to send you!

In 2022, travel will be focused on well-researched local experiences that take you on off-the-beaten-path excursions that bring you closer to the destination you’ve chosen in ways you would not have considered previously.

With outdoor experiences as the major draw, we’re seeing new travel trends that take you through national parks, hiking expeditions, secluded beaches, and walking tours to see the great outdoors and all it has to offer.

Of course, if this isn’t quite what you’re looking for, local experiences don’t have to be confined to national parks and long walks; our Local Designers may recommend alternative historical tours, gourmet experiences, and much more. It’s not about altering your hobbies, but rather how we approach them: consider 2022 to be the most exciting year of travel ever!

We believe that 2022 will be the year to travel with confidence, based on the knowledge of Designer Journeys’ Local Designers. This is the year to stray off the tourist path and be exposed to towns that will cater to all of your travel requirements and interests in a unique way.

DOMESTIC TRAVEL

The driving force behind the recovery of the tourism industry and the local economy; domestic tourism is what we believe will be the first step and leading role in 2022 trends in the travel industry.

Exploring closer to home is the final piece of the puzzle. With travel bubbles on hold, travelling closer to home is the perfect way to itch that travel bug while having as little impact as possible. Better yet, you get to know your own country a little more and visit those places that you have always wanted to see but have given it a miss in favour of experiencing other cultures – we get you! 

By travelling domestically, 2022’s new trends in the travel industry will be made easier with additional options of being able to drive your own car instead of spending a lot of money on private transportation. This also allows you more freedom to travel extensively and in small numbers. 

With outdoor experiences being hot on the trends, taking your own car adds to the experience with the chance to really immerse yourself in nature, maybe even camping too! We’re really taking it back to basics, and we couldn’t be more excited about it!

ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME TRIPS

Our prediction for the second half of 2022 is a long-awaited one. After a year indoors, it’s time to travel and travel hard!

As soon as we have the go-ahead, we want to travel and we want to make it big. Think luxury tours, of the place you have always wanted to go but never had the time or money, and get packing! Once in a lifetime trips are exactly that. 

One of Designer Journeys’ core objectives is to provide you with the tools and put all of the stepping stones in place to make your travel dreams come true. We like to think of ourselves as a dream factory, and once in a lifetime trips are the product at the end! By putting all of the above together, our range of fully-customisable tours is the perfect framework to create your dream trip!

LOOKING TO BE INSPIRED FOR 2022 AND BEYOND?

Thinking about setting 2020 and 2021 aside feels good. So being ready to take on 2022 with full force is going to feel even better. With global travel being the highly-anticipated goal for 2022 and beyond, dream big for the future!

From domestic travel with private tours to the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime trip that keeps it low-risk; explore our gallery and be inspired for the future of travel!
