New York, United States - May 14, 2022 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

The Importance of Current Tourism Trends to Your Business.



As a consequence of COVID, governments must now apply travel restrictions. It seems unlikely that travel will return to normal prior to the arrival of Covid. Despite the travel limitations, travelers are desperately searching for activities and locations to visit.

As a result of the pandemic, many individuals have an urgent need for a vacation and are exploring alternative travel ideas. If you've always focused on business customers, it's a good idea to reconsider your company approach.

During this period, your marketing messages and even the distribution channels you use to generate sales will need to be modified.


Make the switch from international to domestic travel.

Many firms are shifting their focus away from overseas clients in order to cater to the local market in light of the pandemic's impact on the tourism industry. 

Customized guided tours allow locals to explore their own nations.

There is no need to give up on overseas customers, but you may have to rethink your marketing strategy.

Your marketing pitch must include the words "safety and hygiene."

From cruise ships to hotels to restaurants to bars, COVID has made safety and hygienic standards a top priority since its inception. 

Tourism trends relating to this include greater cleaning, socially isolated seating, hand gel, and required masks in some locations.

Travel organizations must clearly communicate their rules on hygiene and safety, as well as the actions they are taking to protect the safety of their customers, in order to attract visitors.

In order to ease people's concerns about COVID, it will be necessary to persuade them that they are not at risk.

The new hipster in town is the outdoor traveler.

Traveling close to home is becoming increasingly popular all over the world.

Vacations to national parks are very popular in the United States. 

Devon has become a popular destination for British tourists seeking yoga and surfing vacations. 

The popularity of Australia's Queensland state as a vacation destination is rising.

Many people are eager to get back outside and participate in nature after a lengthy period of lockdown.

Stacking vacations to different countries.

Travel is a must-have for the millennial generation. 

Due to the fact that many tours allow free cancellations up to 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure date, many young travelers are opting for lengthier holidays that involve multiple journeys back to back. 

Taking advantage of this, you can improve your bookings by offering free cancellations for your excursions.

Traveling to new places around the world with a group of strangers

Many people's perspectives shift when a global event has such a profound influence on so many people. 

They are delighted by the idea of traveling on short guided tours with other tourists from all around the world after experiencing boredom and isolation. 

Traveling socially has never been more popular, as seen by the long waitlists for guided tours in major cities and the ease with which tickets can be reserved weeks or even months in advance.


“Business-cation”- The distinction between work and vacation travel is becoming increasingly blurred.

Because of the pandemic's impact, it's already difficult to tell where work ends and personal life begins. 

The distinction between business and pleasure travel is becoming increasingly hazy. 

Businesses need to consider how they can better serve the growing number of "business-leisure" travelers who work and play at the same time while on the road.

How tour operators and businesses in the travel industry can adapt.

In order to take advantage of the next travel trends, consider offering guided tours in a social travel context in addition to safety and cleanliness. 

Travelers are increasingly expecting free cancellations for reservations made up to 24 hours in advance when reserving outdoor experiences.

Musikwela brings Filipino values to life through music, puppetry

Musikwela brings Filipino values to life through music, puppetry 

Musikwela, a Filipino children's educational entertainment program that uses music, storytelling, puppetry and animation to teach values, will release five new episodes in November covering respect for elders, indigenous culture, autism awareness, disaster preparedness and environmental care.  The five 30-minute episodes, co-produced by Ideasquest Inc. and the National Council for Children's Television (NCCT), an attached agency of the Department of Education, aim to make learning more engaging while helping children understand social issues and appreciate Filipino traditions.  During a media launch, Musikwela founder and executive director Ellen Estrada said the program draws from personal experiences and real-life encounters to create stories that children can relate to and learn from.  “Most of the things you see are made by us. We made all the puppets and all the songs. Even the costumes were sewn in a small community in Las Piñas,” Estrada said, explaining how her team handled much of the creative work behind the production despite limited resources.  The new episodes feature the Musikscouts, composed of Estrada's daughter, Yumi Sansano, and three furry puppet characters, Potpot, Lala and Biboy. Through their adventures, the characters demonstrate how children can respond to problems by helping others and practicing values such as empathy, respect and responsibility.    Estrada said she hopes the stories will encourage children to look beyond their immediate surroundings and appreciate the diversity of Filipino communities.  “I realized how rich our cultures are and how much there is to learn about them. We are so rich. We just don't know it, and we just don't teach it,” she said.   “We may be scattered across thousands of islands, but that does not mean we can never be one,” she said.  Musikwela received support through an NCCT grant, while Ideasquest also contributed resources to complete the production.  “Filipinos can create a funny, child-friendly show, but we cannot do it alone. We want to bring it to schools. We want to do road shows. We want to partner with brands that believe we can do more to help our children.,” she said.  Beyond the five episodes, Estrada said she hopes to explore other subjects, including financial literacy. She believes children should learn early about empathy, respect, responsibility and the value of money.  She also encouraged students and aspiring creators to develop stories that reflect experiences and issues they genuinely care about.  “For a story to be meaningful to others, it must be meaningful to you first. It must affect you in some way,” she said.  The new episodes will be available in November through Musikwela's website and social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube.

Homeware line designed for dormers, young couples, small families

Homeware line designed for dormers, young couples, small families

College students in dorms and young couples starting out often need a few items to make their spaces more comfortable. These often include basics like flatware, plates, beddings and maybe a lamp or two. While there are department stores and home store chains that offer pretty much the same kind of mix, one of the newer entrants is the Metro Retail Stores Group. Last month, it launched its own brand of home basics, Metro Living in its four Metro Department Stores located in Alabang, Market Market, Ayala Center Cebu, and Super Metro Colon. Arranged on open shelves and in compact displays, the merchandise is basic and designed to work together.  “For Metro Living, we’ve shifted our entire retail philosophy from selling individual products to delivering fully integrated lifestyle solutions. Previously, customers had to navigate different aisles to assemble a look,” Joel Orense, Metro Retail President and COO told The Manila Times in an email interview.  “Through our dedicated shop-in-shop concept, we bring fully curated, pre-styled living spaces directly to the retail floor. It eliminates decision fatigue, offers immediate aesthetic inspiration, and maximizes customer convenience. We are elevating the overall shopping experience, and based on initial performance, we plan to scale this format to additional key stores next year,” he added.  Placing these household staples in a dedicated location inside their stores was only logical as it takes out the guesswork for shoppers.  Orense said that historically, people bought items for their homes from different stores. While this can actually be a fun exercise on a weekend or during sale season, it can also be a chore for people who might prefer to do something else with their time.  “By engineering a cross-category, cohesive product matrix, Metro Living bridges that gap — transforming single-item transactions into complete room solutions,” he said. The current merchandise mix at the Metro stores includes beddings, pillow cases and cushion covers, kitchen linens, and window treatments. There also plates, cutlery and compact storage systems.  “Metro Living is tailored for the modern Filipino demographic — specifically first-time condo owners, growing families, young homeowners, and value-conscious style seekers,” Orense said. “These consumers want practical, elevated, and contemporary home aesthetics without compromising on affordability or functionality.”
