Outdoor experiences and exploring closer to home After a year of lockdowns and life postponed, travelers booked outdoor experiences in record numbers. Half of Americansโ€”and nearly 60% of Gen-Z and millennialsโ€”reported the ability to travel again as their biggest highlight of 2021*. As winter gave way to spring, travelers knew outdoor activities were the safest way to get back on the road exploring. Itโ€™s no surprise that the 10 fastest-growing experiences categories (and 18 of the top 20) were all related to outdoor activities. In fact, nearly half (48%) of the experiences booked this year were predominantly outdoors. The reality of the pandemic made us seek out outdoor experiences, but itโ€™s our innate, human desire for wonder that made experiences like the Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour & Hoover Dam Photo Stop with Optional Skywalk or the Chicago Lake and River Architecture Tour grow by more than 1000% over 2019 bookings.

Road trip 2022 exploring new things

On the road again

Experiences tell a human story about a world reopeningโ€”and a desire for exploration and wonder. The travel industryโ€™s remarkable and ongoing recoveryโ€”even as new variants emergeโ€”underscores the value we place on adventure, exploration, and wonder. โ€œItโ€™s been a challenging couple of years for the travel and experiences sector, but thereโ€™s good newsโ€”travelers travel,โ€ commented Laurel Greatrix, VP of Brand and Communications at Viator. โ€œCOVID tethered our ability to explore the world, but not our desire for it. We saw travelers work around risk and restrictions, trying things in new places. Thatโ€™s led to extraordinary growth in regional travel and outdoor experiencesโ€”and an extraordinary recovery for travel in general.โ€ This year, much like the last, will still have uncertainty, but what is certain is that our need to explore is relentless and extraordinary. According to a recent Tripadvisor report, intent to travel in 2022 is higher than in 2019 reported travel, and more than 1 in 3 Americans say itโ€™s more important now than before the pandemic that they choose a destination where they can immerse themselves in โ€œauthentic local experiences.โ€ With Americans spending 29% more on their average booking in 2022 than they did in 2019, the future of travel is still looking bright.

Travel restrictions and safety concerns meant travelers sought out experiences closer to home. While exploring the four corners of the earth might not have been as easy or possible, nearly half (48%) of Americans said they sought out closer, more local experiences in the past year. Thatโ€™s why nearly 100 different markets in North America saw demand for experiences double versus pre-pandemic, with the top locationsโ€”such as Tulum, Cabo San Lucas, and Denali National Parkโ€”breaking 500% growth. In fact, all 10 of the fastest growing experiences by bookingsโ€”over pre-pandemic 2019 demandโ€”are US-based experiences. From a San Diego Harbor Cruise to Bostonโ€™s Ghosts & Gravestones Night-Time Trolley Tour, those experiences all grew by more than 700%. This is an astounding reminder of how important travel has been in rebounding from the depths of lockdown. (Source: Viator)

The nordic people were free to travel in the Scandinavian countries including Finland. No passports or travel documents were needed. The freedom still today is the most important for the Scandinavians from that epoch. Freedom is to travel, learn to know new countries and other languages, and meet different people and cultures. He wishes the new generations would have the same possibilities experiencing all that what makes you feel free, and building a strong personality. -
