The future of travel is leading us back to the pure sense of discovery found in the past. We are exhausted by the “iconic” but soulless spots made viral by social media. Travelers no longer want to watch the world from the sterile rooms of 5-star hotels, the isolation of private jets, or behind the tinted windows of luxury cars. The new luxury is breathing in the atmosphere of a city’s remotest corners, forming a genuine friendship with a local shop owner, and sharing an unplanned moment with loved ones. While the value of standardized services bought with money is declining, the value of “experiences” and “time well-spent” is increasing every day. Travel is shifting from a status symbol to a depth of accumulated memories and human connections. The colors are returning; because real life is not on a screen—it is waiting to be discovered in the hidden alleys of the world.
