Everyone has their travel wishlist; whether it is a small town from your childhood with the best playground you have ever seen, or a long list of iconic landmarks from famous movies. Each of us has a dream destination for a holiday.

But it’s more than the destination. It’s about what we connect with when we are there.

Travel has changed in recent years. How we travel. Where we can travel. And most importantly why we travel. Cities and countries all around the world are rethinking their role in tourism and the relationship between land, locals, and the all-mighty tourism dollar.

The benefits of travel are exponential in both personal and community growth. When you travel, you learn: About the place, the people, the culture, the food, the environment. The more you learn, the more you want to see and share with others. It helps others to learn with you. But it also comes at a price. Without a connection with our travel, we lose the connection with the place. We miss out on the empathy and the soul of travel itself.

It’s time to travel better. It’s time to reconnect with our destinations and make it more than a tick off the ‘bucket list’. We can still see the world and share it with others. But we can do it better.
