·32 min
Amanda Bonner discusses 2025 travel trends emphasizing solo travel for women, slow travel immersion, and conscious/sustainable tourism. Highlights women comprising 80% of global travelers with 86% growth in women-specific expeditions. Slow travel contrasts with rushed tourism—spending weeks in one or two destinations, connecting locally, practicing mindfulness. Conscious travel addresses over-tourism by seeking under-touristed destinations with eco-certifications and community-benefiting experiences like Yakushima Island's fairytale forest.
