The best trends in Tourism 2022

When visiting these types of destinations, it is expected to improve both physical and mental well-being, placing great emphasis on activities or experiences that benefit the human body. Among the most famous we can mention; therapeutic massages, yoga sessions or even the temazcal.

If this sounds like something you would love to experience, then we recommend a visit to Aldea Cobá, a cozy boutique hotel hidden in the Mayan jungle, where you can experience this type of activity and many others. You can learn more about how to get your escape experience here.

3. Gastronomic Tourism

One of the most pleasant ways to explore a new destination is through the palate, not for nothing gastronomic tourism has become one of the most popular among travelers. Because let’s be honest, what trip would be complete without a good traditional dish?

As expected, this type of excursion is about creating experiences focused on culinary art, tasting unique flavors of the region and getting closer to the local culture through various delicacies.

In Mexico, one of the favorite cuisines to do so is the Mayan gastronomy, which stands out for providing ancestral flavors and aromas in each bite. So if tasting is your thing, a culinary tour of Mexico would not be a bad idea to celebrate Tourism Day. After all, its cuisine is one of the few considered a World Heritage.

4. Business trips (Workations)

Just as the first one, this activity became popular thanks to the pandemic, since it also came with the opportunity to work from home. Once with this freedom, it was possible to combine the pleasure of traveling with day-to-day productivity. Something that until now is still very popular.

5. Luxury escapes

Another trend that you cannot miss is Luxury Tourism, one of the favorites for those looking for a completely personalized, stress-free and high-quality trip. However, this type of tourism is not any luxury trip, but is an escape from common experiences.
