On social media, a new word called “revenge travel” is gaining traction. The term has been used to characterise family gatherings, lavish vacations, and return visits.

According to CNN, “retribution travel” is more about the joy of travel than it is about the concept of revenge.

“Revenge travel” became a media catchphrase in 2021, when the world reopened and individuals decided to make up for lost time, according to Erika Richter, vice president of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA).

Richter explained that it was another way of realising how brief life is and planning visits to different locations.

Many in the tourism business are grappling with how to properly discuss “revenge travel.”

Rory Boland, editor of Which? magazine, said, “I don’t think the prefix’revenge’ is relevant to what travel should be about.” He also referred to the phrase as “ugly.”

Many people report travelling after a long time since the lockdowns ended, whether they use the phrase or not.

Deborah Campagnaro of Canada said she and her husband will spend nearly a month in Nepal, rather than the one-week trip they had planned before the outbreak.

Britney Darcy, a Rhode Island resident, is also planning a trip to Paris that was postponed because to the epidemic.

She is rearranging her trip to France and Italy for two weeks instead of the five days she had planned.

“Covid has made me spend less money. We only live once, so I’d rather spend my money on adventures “Darcy stated.

People certainly want to get back on the road, according to CNN.

According to data from trip booking business Expedia, the month of May 2021 saw the greatest rise in travel search traffic (10 percent ). This came barely a week after the European Union voted to allow adolescents to receive vaccines.

According to a survey done by the company, 60% of consumers planned to travel locally in 2022, while 27% planned to go worldwide. It also revealed that people were more willing than before to spend more money.
