In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions implemented worldwide, the term "revenge travel" has emerged. It explains how people, after being restricted in their travels for a long period of time, try to compensate for these limitations by traveling more frequently or more extravagantly than they normally would.
A travel trend calledrevenge travelThe "travel boom" is characterized by a significant increase in tourist activity after a period of travel restrictions, usually linked to events such as pandemics, economic crises or conflicts. People who have been forced to limit their travel during these periods seek to make up for lost time by organizing more frequent, longer or more luxurious trips. A desire to take revenge for past limitations, and a willingness to take full advantage of the new-found freedom to travel, are two factors frequently responsible for this trend.
The "revenge travel"This trend can manifest itself in a variety of ways, such as last-minute vacation bookings, extended stays abroad, group travel or more well-known and popular tourist destinations. The travel industry can be affected by this trend, increasing demand in certain destinations and creating opportunities for tourism-related businesses.
Gemma AmtrobusPresident of AITO Agents and owner of the travel agency Haslemere Travelsays: "For me, this sums up the determination of many travelers to take revenge on the virus and travel again once the restrictions are lifted.
Travelers want to live unique experiences and check them off their wish list. It's also about leaving Zoom calls behind and catching up with loved ones on a safari or road trip.
