Experiential tourism: live a much more exciting trip
Social networks have become so involved in our lives that they even condition our way of traveling. Sometimes, we are more interested in uploading a beautiful photo of the fashionable place, than having a good time and enjoying getting to know the destination. For this reason, we would like to talk to you about experiential tourism: what it is and how you can enjoy it. We are going to give you some tips and guidelines so that you can fully immerse yourself in the destination that you are going to visit soon.
How to enjoy experiential tourism on your next trip?
Here is a list of tips to avoid staying on the "surface" of the place you are visiting and go deeper (and better) into it. You will see that they are very varied and that they include various types of trips and getaways, stay with those that you can best adapt to your traveling style. Let's see what you think!
- Organize a surprise trip for a friend or loved one. It will be an incredible experience because you will not know "what you are going to face." Tell him what things he has to take in the suitcase and nothing else. On the next getaway, let them organize it for you.
- Prepare a trip to a "movie" destination. In other words, visit the locations where your favorite movie or series has been filmed. You may be interested in knowing the actual locations where Game of Thrones was recorded .
