Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare for launch. Prepare for launch! If you’re a travel nut, your options are going to skyrocket within the next couple of decades. New trends are already beginning, while others are forming in the minds of our most innovative travel gurus and CEOs.
1) Increasing top-rated hotels are transforming themselves into yoga retreats, fitness centers, wellness nests and broad-ranging spa resorts. And hotels like these are gradually forming their offerings into affordable packages that even the middle class can afford.
2) Did you ever dream that the field of medical tourism would take off? Various procedures, including skilled and intricate plastic surgery is far less expensive in some countries, so many are traveling to “hospitals” with accommodations to rival any four-star hotel and coming back home nipped and tucked with a brand new look.
3) Ordinary, middle class individuals and families are learning that cruises are no longer vacations limited to the affluent. All-inclusive cruise packages make it possible to have accommodations, child care programs, entertainment, unlimited food choices, on-shore excursions, and more for about what it would cost to take the family on a trip to Disney.
4) Wonderfully custom-made options for the wealthy are multiplying. You can book exclusive land trips detailed to your full desires. You can cruise on a yacht with an intimate group on the Rhine, the Volga River or even the Mekong.
5) Some creative geniuses are developing an underwater hotel called Hydropolis in Dubai off the coast of Jumeirah. In case you didn’t know, Dubai is the second largest of the incredibly wealthy United Arab Emirates. The hotel will consist of a facility on land, a connecting tunnel, and a submarine complex. The complex will include luxurious underwater villas, a ballroom, a spa, restaurants, and shops.
6) Now they’re coming up with plans for portable hotels. Yep, you heard me right. Luxury Pod hotels are transportable facilities that cater to wherever the hottest tourist spots are globe-wide. These pods are constructed on stilts, have their own waste disposal system, harness solar photovoltaic cells for power, and contain quality rooms for any tourist’s budget. In other words, guests could helicopter to the Australian rainforest. If, a few years later, the hot spot became Beijing, China, the pod could be transported there, leaving only a small mark on the environment.
7) Ever wonder what it’s like up in those GoodYear blimps? Helium-filled airship hotels are very possible now. These will meld the elements of hot air balloon, cruise ship, and airplane into an airship that will cruise at a leisurely pace over large expanses. Talk about awe-inspiring views!
8) Now you can also plan to shoot for stars, literally—that is, if you have the cash. Expert, Howard Wolff, claims that holiday space travel is coming right up. The obstacle is not technology—it’s only an issue of time and money. The first hotel in space will most likely be a mixed-use project with commercial and research applications. Some parts of the hotel will have partial Earth gravity, other parts will be weightless environments where guests can float around in sheer bliss.
Are you the adventurous questing type or will you always be perfectly content with a couple of days at the nearest Six Flags? If you are interested in traveling where no vacationer has gone before, don’t watch a rerun of Star Trek---beam yourself up to one of these brand new modes of travel zooming your way.
