The post Remote Work Vacations Are Here to Stay appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>The idea of a remote work vacation revolves around the possibility of not having to be at home while getting work done virtually. Instead of always staying at your house, you can travel around the world and see different places as long as you have a reliable internet connection.
Remote work vacations are an especially great idea if you want to visit a location that is more about the setting and surrounding than it is touring, visiting monuments, or exploring cities. Renting a house in a beautiful natural area with hikes close by and tranquility is one great idea, as is a beachfront apartment or hotel room with views of the water and access to the sea as soon as your mandated work hours have finished.
As virtual work looks to become more and more popular even when the pandemic ends, this new trend is set to stick around. Would you give it a try?

]]>Mobile wallet apps are now commonplace on both Apple and Android devices, giving people a place to store the QR codes and reservation information that they will need for all kinds of travel experiences such as flights and hotel reservations.
It was always such a pain to keep up with paper copies of tickets, as it used to burden travelers with yet another thing to keep track of and have with you at all times for fear of otherwise missing a flight or not having proof of your booking. Mobile wallets are a great tool that help both consumers and the travel industry, making everything so much easier for everyone.
If you haven’t given your mobile wallet a try yet on your smartphone, do so for your next trip! You’ll be shocked at just how helpful this tool is.

]]>Airlines have already begun offering “basic economy” fares to customers and you can expect that trend to continue and get even more popular. These fares offer a bare-bones service to consumers at a low price, but the catch is that you end up paying way more for services like seat selection and bags.
Some airports have already begun offering biometric services, which allow for technologies that read peoples’ faces, fingerprints, and eyes to verify their identities and streamline the security process. This could become even more popular in the future as airports look to speed things up.
More and more people are becoming conscious of the toll that air travel takes on the environment, so expect carbon offsetting programs to become more and more popular over the next 10 years. These initiatives allow people to donate money or trees to fight against the impact that plane emissions have on the environment.

]]>The post Layover City Breaks are Trending Now appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>The idea of this new program, which is offered by a vast number of airlines in cities across the planet, allows for travelers who are making a layover in a hub city to take a few days to holiday there before moving on to their final destination.
By offering this program, airlines allow travelers to take advantage of what would normally only result as being a few hours in a city’s airport. Instead, they are given the opportunity to leave the airport and check out the city for a few days with no extra charge!
The stopover city idea was pioneered in Reykjavik, Iceland. Many low-cost Icelandic carriers began operating flights to and from Europe with a stop in their country’s capital city, allowing travelers to get to know this extreme northern country.
Now, this program is offered all over the globe. Common cities for layover breaks include Lisbon, Portugal, Dubai, UAE, and Tokyo, Japan!
So, what are you waiting for? Take advantage of this unique opportunity to see a city with no extra charge on your way to your next long-haul destination.

]]>Medium-length travel usually requires a few hours of a journey in order to reach your destination, but that length is just enough to put you out of your zone of familiarity and into a world with all kinds of new things to discover.
Have you considered making this type of journey via train, though?
With the advent of low-cost airlines, which have made air travel more accessible for all, it’s now common for people to travel from places like Paris to Bordeaux in the air. While this trip would only take a few hours by car or by train, it’s now common to hop on a flight that takes less than an hour.
But did you know that this can have grave consequences on the environment? The environmental impact of a plane flight is much greater than a trip on a train. While air travel might be faster, you’re actually contributing much more greenhouse gas emissions if you’re flying through the skies.
Traveling by train is not only more environmentally-friendly, but it also gives you a fantastic opportunity to stay connected and be productive online as well as with the “real world.” Also, it allows you the chance to see the landscape between your two destinations up close and personal!
So, the next time you set out on a medium-length journey, consider taking the train instead of a plane!
