What we discovered about travel in 2022

As the second year post-pandemic, many people have been ecstatic to leave their homes and open to catch flights. And as the year we officially launched our brand, it's been an exhilarating 12 months of experience helping people expand their boundaries by exploring the world the way they want.

In the past months, we've guided different travelers to Jordan, Dubai, Los Cabos, Santorini, Tulum, Kenya, Tanzania, and Costa Rica. As a travel company, here are some things our team has discovered about travel in the year 2022.

Traveling will always remain a privilege

Spending money on vacation is something only some can do. So when we guide our travelers to new places, the onus is on us to ensure they get the best out of their experiences and learn a thing or two while abroad. 

Wellness retreats are becoming popular

Travelers are looking for adventures that will fill their souls and be suitable for their bodies. Wellness retreats can show you how to relax and connect with your innermost self through meditation and yoga. These retreats can take place in resorts, hotels or even wellness camps, with daily classes focusing on rejuvenating your body and transforming your mind. 

More travelers are choosing comfort as a luxury

Despite the global economic situation, travelers are willing to splurge for a good travel experience and a pleasant hotel stay. Spending on experiences that will make you happy and relaxed will become a norm as we advance, and we are here to help you with expert advice and recommendations.

Work-from-home and remote work travel is on the rise

The pandemic year caused an enormous shift in the future of work and travel. And two years after the pandemic, we're already in the future and climbing to more possibilities. New concepts like a 4-day work week and hybrid work are thumping constant on-site working systems except in some fields where in-person duties are in high demand. If you're looking for more time to travel, consider negotiating with your boss for a full-remote operation or a mix of both, as in hybrid. Nothing beats a relaxing change of scene to kickstart a productive day.

Sustainability and eco-friendly travel remains a significant priority

Traveling sustainably to protect the planet is increasingly essential. There are little things we can do to positively impact the earth, the people we meet and the places we visit. We can start by reducing our waste when traveling.

There is more to learn about different people and places in the world

This realization can be profound, but all we need is a little courage to take a bold step and be willing to be agile and adaptable.

Our travelers expect more from their experience

We are always ready to provide our travelers with expertly curated experiences that are fulfilling and give them a sense of purpose through our organized group trips and travel planning service.

Overall, travel makes you experience new cultures, meet unforgettable people, create lasting bonds, and, most importantly, appreciate who you are. For us at Gojolley, 2022 was an incredible travel year.
