Specialist small group adventure company Explore Worldwide has analysed its latest booking patterns, destination searches and customer behaviour to identify five emerging trends for the year ahead – from looking beyond traditional bucket-list destinations to seeking more meaningful experiences that connect travellers with local people, cultures and wildlife.
The findings come as Explore reaches a milestone of more than 50 Positive Impact Experiences (PIEs) across its global portfolio and launches Made by Humans, a new hub celebrating the people, expertise and first-hand knowledge behind its adventures.
