World Travel Market, by passing the Real America for Authentic India on route to the Falklands with a seven foot penguin dressed in a union jack. Yup, World Travel Market. Africa was quiet. I rode a Harley Davidson and have promoted it on www.atozenoftravel.com for women who want to do a Thelma and Louise without the cliff jump. Men shouldn't do Harley Davidson's especially those in mid life crisis biker leathers. Not cool, even if you do have a beard and can cook. The travel trends are to do with mammals (men in lycra cycling). The craze in the States, although Richmond Upon Thames has got their first. Go early before the gates open at Richmond and there they are cycling round, looking like morose puffed up seals and walruses depending on their girth. Braggies are those who take photos of themselves when they travel, so I'm guilty of that one too, but hey its a blog. And will not do it as much now. (THE ONE BELOW THE LAST ONE PROMISE…) Nor the yoga poses. Online travel booking is pushing the rest of the market slowly but not completely out.
What else? We like to stay in peoples homes abroad and eat with them. I see that lasting to a point - not because the demand will reduce, just the supply. Sports Tourism with the rugby world cup landing here next year (just up the road actually). And lastly, the fining of parents who take their children out of school for holidays during term time. People would actually vote for the party who gets rid of the fines. That is how much they think of our politicians. If they can keep one little promise they will vote for them. As for the future, they think travel will invoke android and holographic staff in resorts, virtual reality holidays,
ipads used by guest as in reassert, hypersonic flight, tours in driverless vehicles, and fingerprint passports. And oh yes, space travel. But this was before the crash.
