No, I’m not talking about the Chinese New Year, 2022 is the Year of the Tiger. Goat is the acronym for the Greatest of all Trips. Which is apparently what travellers are going to want this year. In these very challenging times for travel companies, with airline restrictions and entry requirements changing practically daily around the globe, it’s not easy to forecast which direction things are going to take in 2022. But perhaps we can take heart from the results of a recent survey by Expedia, which coined Goat.
The American online travel shopping giant found that over 40% of world travellers surveyed in Australia will be willing to splurge on travel in 2022, and that many are eyeing Rome as one of their top picks. They will also be looking for immersive rather than touristy experiences, with 40% saying they want to try new food, and 23% wanting to explore more off-the-beaten-track destinations.
Over to you travel designers to set up these Greatest of all Trips!
