Voluntourism & Adventure Travel Set to Rise in Popularity in 2011
A TripAdvisor recent survey has revealed positive travelling prospects for the coming year.
TripAdvisor’s annual Travel Trends survey – which sampled 6,000 users – has revealed that Brits are positive about their travelling prospects, with one in 10 planning to holiday more often this year. The Great British "staycation" also looks to be on the wane, with just 38% of those surveyed planning to stay at home for their holiday compared with 45% last year.
The Guardian Travel reports that voluntourism and adventure travel are set to rise in popularity, our appetite for the Middle East is expected to grow apace with new flights to the region, and long-haul travel is fighting its way back against the dominance of European city breaks and mid-haul sun-seeking.
A recent TUI study reported British travellers are more likely to book an adventure travel trip over the next three years. Airbnb.com, the peer-to-peer B&B network that invites tourists into locals’ spare bedrooms and apartments, grew phenomenally last year and has set its sights on Asia in 2011.
