As a tour company, we understand the value of travel and exploration. The world is full of amazing places, and the joy of discovering new cultures and landscapes is irreplaceable. However, the current state of the world presents several challenges that may make it difficult to find a safe and enjoyable destination.
Issues such as war, armed conflict, climate change, and low currency conversion rates can make it hard to find a desirable travel spot. The recent conflict in the Gaza Strip, for instance, has caused people to avoid nearby countries such as Egypt and Jordan. Ongoing conflict in Ukraine has made some individuals hesitant to visit neighboring European countries.
Climate change is also reducing the tourist season in places like Spain, Italy, and Portugal, with extreme temperatures in summer and winter deterring visitors. Natural disasters like recent catastrophic floods in Greece and earthquakes in Morocco can also disrupt travel plans. Fears of another pandemic, like the recent outbreak of Covid-19, create uncertainty and may discourage travel.
Regardless, the benefits of travel are undeniable. Travelling is one of the most rewarding experiences in life, providing opportunities to explore new cultures, learn new things, and create unforgettable memories.
Travelling can broaden our horizons and teach us about other cultures, customs, and beliefs. It can help us grow as individuals, inspiring us to be more independent, take risks, and be more open-minded. It can also be a way to relax and unwind, take a break from our everyday lives, and gain a new perspective.
The desire to travel is a deep and complex emotion. It can be hard to put into words why we do it. It’s like an incessant urge for wandering, a diagnosis with symptoms like a strong craving or desire to see, taste, smell something for the first time. The spark of wanderlust within us never dies, in short, it’s the diagnosis of 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚, or travel addiction.
Despite the challenges, the love and lust for travel persist. We’re interested in hearing your thoughts on the current world situation in relation to travel. Share your tips for places to visit and what drives your desire to travel.
Happy Travels, Tammie xx
