MY FATHER'S ADVICE... 1. Not everything will go as you expect in your life.

Road Trip Trends of the Year post Covid-19 New Normal-The Panagora Blog
Road Trip Trends of the Year
Unique accommodations are still on the rise
Hostels, Airbnb and glamping have been steadily growing in popularity for a while now, and the trend is showing no signs of slowing down. In addition to companies like Autocamp and Under Canvas expanding really fast, even more P2P options for accommodations are popping up.
We’re also seeing the explosive growth of glamping as a sign that “luxury” travel is being, in a way, redefined. Goodbye luxury suites and hello safari tents!
Unplugging is so hot right now
Like unique accommodations, the concept of “unplugging” isn’t new, but there’s definitely a growing backlash against oversharing on social media. It’s great that it’s easier than ever to find new places to visit, and to see what cool spots our friends are discovering, but we’re also seeing a lot of people view travel as a way to escape not just everyday life, but the never-ending slog of online content. Work emails, bummer news reports, pictures of friends’ babies, creepily over-targeted ads… you get the idea.
Lesser people are now live-streaming every moment of their trip, and more people taking time to be in the moment while they travel. There’s nothing wrong with waiting to share your reflections and highlights until after you get back.
“The need to ‘disconnect’ seems to be gaining so much steam… this will either lead to people making their travel more mindful or just shaming everyone for posting on social too much.” —Tim Balzer, VP Product
We’ll take shorter but more frequent trips
A lot of times, road trips are seen as something epic and time-consuming: It involves driving cross-country, or taking the whole family out west for a long vacation trip. But more and more, we’re seeing people take shorter road trips to closer-by destinations for a weekend or a few days.
There’s something effortless about hopping in the car and setting off wherever, and it makes roadtripping perfect for a weekend getaway. We’re big believers that no matter where you are, you’re always just a few minutes away from something incredible.
Working remotely is not just for digital nomads
We’re big fans of being able to work while on the road, and this is one big trend that has finally started extending beyond just tech startups. It’s also something that the Travel 4.0 team is looking forward to taking advantage of more in 2019. Sometimes, all you need for a jolt of inspiration or motivation is a change of scenery.
“I’m looking forward to more working on the road as WiFi access continues to improve.” —Judy Jones, Geo-Data Curator
Eating on the road doesn’t have to mean junk food
Choosing destinations based on their culinary and foodie scene remains popular, but eating while on a road trip sometimes means valuing convenience over all else. Luckily, stopping at local canteens or taking advantage of the growing number of healthier fast casual options popping up are trending.
Tech is here to stay, for better or worse
There’s no denying that tech has done a lot to make roadtripping easier, cheaper, or more convenient. Whether we’re talking about custom trips, GDS, electric cars, keyless rooms at check-in, AI to help curate personalized trips, or even podcasts and music streaming services, we love finding new solutions to our problems—sometimes before we even knew there was a problem.
We have also become increasingly aware of the issues that can arise because of technology—including overcrowding at parks and restaurants because of social media, Airbnb leading to gentrification, etc.
Being conscious and responsible is in
The concept of keeping an open mind while on the road is something we take very seriously. It’s all about letting our experiences with strangers on the road highlight how similar we as humans are, and generally being conscious while on the road. The same respect for others applies to nature, as well, and taking care to leave a park or campsite nicer than you found it is a big concern.
We’re trying new modes of travel
These days, a road trip doesn’t have to mean loading up the old family station wagon sitting in the driveway. Plenty of roadtrippers are taking advantage of renting a car to explore & make the most of a trip.
