Experiential Travel

According to Wikipedia, experiential travel is a form of tourism in which people focus on experiencing a country, city or particular place by actively and meaningfully engaging with its history, people, culture, food and environment. The goal is to more deeply understand a travel destination's culture, people and history by connecting with it more than just by visiting it. Therefore, the traveler usually gets in touch with locals who give guidance how to experience a place. This can be a friend, an accommodation host or another person. Experience-based travel continues to be one of the hottest travel trends around. Classes and workshops, family-friendly activities, and wellness experiences are the fastest-growing experience categories U.S. travelers are booking on vacation, according to TripAdvisor’s 2019 Experiences Trends Report.
