How we will travel in 2021

After spending much of this year 'grounded', you'd forgive people for simply wanting to get away once it's possible again.

But the big trends for 2021 travel are showing that we're also being more thoughtful about our future trips, with sustainability and wellness high on the list — here's how globetrotting is set to change.

Long-stay travel

While the thought of a carefree holiday is appealing, we're less enamoured with the process of actually getting there. Travel bans, enhanced security, and quarantine procedures will no doubt make the process of air travel tricky for some time yet.

The idea of staying for longer in one single destination, to enjoy more of an immersive experience, is a natural response to the pandemic.

Research from Booking.com agrees that it's no longer about flying in and flying out. "Over a third of travellers have already considered booking somewhere to stay in order to work from a different destination, while 40 per cent would be willing to quarantine if they could work remotely."
