From the best destinations to visit in 2022 through to the hottest travel trends, we\u2019re feeling super positive about the future of travel and so should you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-flexible-tickets\">1. Flexible tickets&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexibility will be one of the big 2022 travel trends again. While most of the travel industry jumped on board with more flexible policies since the pandemic, the trend is set to continue into the new year. Lots of travellers are still taking a \u201cwait and see\u201d approach to travel, booking at the last minute or choosing flexible tickets. Some airlines have reintroduced ticket flexibility for the most basic economy passengers, and online travel agents have seen an increase in people buying \u201ccancel for any reason\u201d add ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/10\/kylie-anderson-aGDILBE1Kus-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ticket and passport at airport\" class=\"wp-image-5874\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-trip-stacking\">2. Trip stacking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are reports that eager travellers are trip stacking the destinations they wish to visit in 2022. Those with enough cash to splash have been booking two trips at the same time just in case one of them falls through due to regulation changes caused by the pandemic. The intention is to take both trips eventually, rescheduling the other one for a later date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-big-grand-adventures\">3. Big, grand adventures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s another type of trip stacking too. Why do one tour when you can stack trips back-to-back? Eager travellers have a long wish list of places to visit in 2022 and with plenty of annual leave and cash saved from almost two years at home, many will start planning that once-in-a-lifetime grand adventure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Australians visiting Europe are well known to spend at least a month travelling around (a necessity after that very long flight!), Americans, Brits and Europeans will eagerly take a longer break and tick off more destinations they want to visit in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/03\/Northern-Lights-Canada-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25631\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/scandinavian-northern-lights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Scandinavian Northern Lights<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-less-human-contact\">4. Less human contact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Say goodbye to your receptionist and hello to a digital screen. While travel is often about the amazing humans you meet, the next time you travel you might be in contact with fewer customer service people. The pandemic has made hotels, car hire companies and airlines rethink how their customers and staff interact. A 2020 travel trend we expect to see more on the road is contactless or people-free hotel lobbies and ways to pay or pick up keys without personal contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-meaningful-holidays\">5. Meaningful holidays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eco and wellness travel has been trending for a few years, and in 2022 the new travel trend will shift towards meaningful travel. While we expect travel companies, airlines and hotels to catch up with sustainability \u2013 removing single-use plastics, adding recycling bins and using eco-friendly cleaning products \u2013 travellers are looking for more. After nearly two years of being disconnected from the world, we want deeper, more meaningful connections with the places we visit in 2022. We want to break bread with locals, learn from local artisans and taste the things we saw others try on that travel documentary during lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"981\" height=\"654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2019\/01\/mae-kampong-thailand-artisan-weaver.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/mae-kampong-thailand-artisan-weaver.jpg 981w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/mae-kampong-thailand-artisan-weaver-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/mae-kampong-thailand-artisan-weaver-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/mae-kampong-thailand-artisan-weaver-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED BLOG: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/responsible-travel-experiences-trafalgar\/\">9 incredible Make Travel Matter Experiences you can enjoy with Trafalgar<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-nature-and-beach-vacations\">6.

While city breaks and staycations will remain popular, there\u2019s nothing quite as relaxing as kicking back on a beach in Costa Rica, Portugal or Spain, cruising across Lake Como or exploring the Dolomites, visiting America&#8217;s greatest National Parks, seeing the Canadian Rockies up close or meeting Alaska\u2019s marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/costa-rica-eco-adventure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Costa Rica Eco Adventure<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-long-haul-travel-is-back\">7.
