In the last couple of years of COVID, which restricted all of us to our homes, now we have realized the importance of travelling and its role in our lives. No doubt, travelling is not only a source of entertainment or for sake of leisure time, but it also plays a significant role in our lives and gives us meaning and purpose in life in literary terms.
Just like literature, travel allows us to stay in touch with our family members, friends, and colleagues around the globe and it also enables us to learn more about the cultures, traditions, norms, and living standards of different civilizations.
In the last couple of years during the duration of COVID-19, we have suffered enough and met the dark period of our life we not only lost our loved ones but also left behind the progress we should have made, learning, and exploration of the world.
So, keeping in view the current scenario, travelling has much to do to cover the gap as via travelling we can explore the different parts of the world, meet people of different countries, explore their culture and the progress they have made in their span of life and that would enable us to take our life in the right direction.
Significance of travel
In comparison to the past time, a new trend has been observed in the travel and tourism industry as the data disclosed by TVI (Traveler Value Index) shows that 46% of the total target population showed their interest in travel and said that now travel is more important than it was during the pre-pandemic situation.
And this trend is even more significant in the younger generation as 50 per cent of Gen Zs and 52 per cent of millennials are more interested in travelling.
This increasing trend is visible and recorded around the globe as in countries like South Korea and Brazil, 60% of their population believes that travelling has more significance in their lives as it has enabled them to live out their lives in a meaningful way by living near the aesthetic environment. This trend is also visible over different hospitality websites over the past 3rd and 4th quarters of 2022.
