Experts predict that travel in 2025 will not only focus on exploring landmarks but also incorporate a blend of technology, environmental sustainability, and personal inspiration.
Sustainable Tourism
An increasing number of tourists are opting for eco-friendly trips, fostering the growth of sustainable tourism. In this approach, businesses prioritize not only profits but also the preservation of natural resources and local cultures.
Responding to this trend, many resorts now offer "green" tourism services, such as zero-carbon-emission programs, the use of renewable energy (like solar power), and initiatives that support local communities in developing sustainable practices.
At destinations like Hoi An, Ha Giang, and Ninh Binh, this form of tourism continues to evolve to meet travelers’ preferences. Options such as walking and cycling tours not only reduce emissions but also provide experiences closely connected to nature.
Virtual Tourism and Augmented Reality (AR/VR)
AR and VR technologies are revolutionizing the way tourists explore destinations. Before arriving, travelers can preview locations through 360-degree virtual tours. During their trips, AR enhances the experience by providing real-time information via smartphones or smart glasses.
This innovation is being implemented in places like Tokyo, Japan, where visitors can explore historical layers through AR. Similarly, at French museums such as the Louvre, virtual reality experiences recreate historical events, blending modern technology with cultural exploration.
Healing Tourism
The stress and pressures of daily life are driving many people toward healing tourism, which focuses on mental and physical well-being. This type of travel is growing in popularity.
Destinations catering to healing tourism emphasize tranquil environments, harmony with nature, and wellness services. Activities often include meditation, yoga, and relaxation paired with natural medical treatments.
Work Combined with Relaxation
In the age of remote work, the "workation" trend—combining work and leisure—has become a popular choice, particularly among young professionals and businesspeople.
Hotels and resorts in Vietnam are increasingly accommodating this trend by designing flexible, private workspaces with high-speed Wi-Fi and offering additional services like meeting rooms and projection facilities.
Personalized Experiences with AI
AI technology is transforming travel planning and enhancing personalization. It not only assists travelers with booking accommodations and creating itineraries but also tailors experiences based on individual preferences.
Applications like Google Travel and TripIt leverage AI to suggest destinations, activities, and dining options. AI chatbots at airports also provide real-time assistance, improving convenience for travelers.
Exploring New Frontiers
By 2025 and beyond, technological advancements will make exploring vast skies and deep oceans a reality for adventurous travelers. Travel companies in Vietnam and worldwide are tapping into these possibilities.
This trend appeals to tourists seeking unique and thrilling experiences, such as diving tours to explore underwater ecosystems and shipwrecks, long-duration cruises across multiple countries, and even space tourism—venturing into Earth’s orbit.
