With the rising demand for travellers eager to explore the world and share their adventures, New Year 2024 will see more tour operators fielding requests for distinctive, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. In an interview with Zarafshan Shiraz of HT Lifestyle, Saumitra Singh, Managing Director at The Tigress Resort and Spa in Ranthambore, advised, “Travel brands can arrange for experiences that have emerged as a viable solution for travellers looking to book authentic local experiences with native hosts. Drawing inspiration from the current trends, travel brands can enhance their offerings by providing unique experiences like guided camping expeditions as well as encouraging exploration of less-travelled regions. By aligning with this shift, travel brands can elevate their services, offering tailored adventures that cater to the desires of modern travellers seeking distinctive and immersive journeys.” (Photo by Upbeat Nomad on Unsplash)
