05 hot trend for travelling after the pandemic

WELLNESS TRAVEL

“Wellness” contains the meaning of the two words “health & spirit”, representing “physical & mental health”. The concept of wellness travel seems to be no strange to travelholics. It allows the traveler to maintain, enhance or kick-start a healthy lifestyle, and support or increase one’s sense of wellbeing. Special treatments such as massage, hot stone, sauna, reflexology combined with yoga, meditation, pilates, or gym exercises are thoroughly provided to help you enjoy, relax, regenerate energy & soothe your soul.

The top three criteria when choosing wellness travel:

●    Convenient location & “green” space
●    Relaxing surrounding landscape
●    High-quality facilities and wellness services

STAYCATION

Staycation is compounded by 2 words: Stay & vacation. Basically, a staycation is a trip at the place where you live. Like a regular outing, we can always plan a staycation with an attractive schedule, from taking food tours to local delicacies to visiting newly renovated historical sites or just strolling along the lovely streets. Imagine after a long time of working online & being isolated from the community, we will certainly look at the familiar little things around us with new eyes. In addition, the form of staycation has great advantages of reducing health risks with the most optimal cost and transporting at the most convenient transportation.

The top three most popular staycation styles:
●    Relaxing at a hotel in a luxurious style
●    Living "slowly" in a 5* resort
●    Outdoor picnic at lovely homestays in the inner city

DAYCATION

Similar to Staycation, Daycation travel is also highly well-known, especially by young people with an active lifestyle. Daycation travel packages often promote two main factors: Stress relief & culinary experience. Within 6-12 hours, you can participate in activities that normally are difficult to complete due to busy work schedules such as enjoying art, practicing sports, eating, sunbathing outdoors, visiting local markets, or simply sipping an afternoon tea with your favorite book in a place which is greatly different from your own home.

Suggestion: Daycation at Hue.

GLAMPING

The origin of this new term is a combination of the words camping & glamorous. Just like the usual camping and picnic, this form of travel is close to nature & is experienced in unspoiled landscapes, or in unique local nature reserves. The difference between glamping and camping is that instead of setting up your own tent, camping, building a fire, or cooking by yourself, glamping has many facilities available for you to choose from. In particular, glamping tents can be transformed into tube houses, wooden tents, multi-purpose mini tree houses. Temporarily away from the hustle and bustle of work, putting aside the worries of life to return to peaceful nature is wonderful medicine for the post-Covid mental crisis.

The top three locations of glamping in Vietnam:
●    CampArt Glamp (Da Lat)
●    Tanyoli Adventure Sports Resort (Ninh Thuan)
●    Lu Glamping, Coco Beach Camp (Binh Thuan)

TRAVELPHOTOGRAPHY

Scrolling around Facebook or Instagram, you can easily come across unique hashtags like #travelgram, #travelphotography with thousands of related posts. This is a clear demonstration of the influence of travelphotography in Industry 4.0 when technology and digital devices dominate. The most intriguing thing about travelphotography is the process of preparing, planning, and creating a meticulous concept for the trip. For example, when hunting clouds and catching snow on high mountains, it is necessary to avoid foggy days and hidden corners on both sides so that the image is not cloudy or backlit. The sweet early morning or late afternoon is the time to take pictures by the beautiful river. When the sun covers the beach, it's time to get a bikini shot. 1000 types of photos for social media for the whole year - try it out after the pandemic!
