However, vaccination is not a passport to the pre-pandemic ways of travel. Mandated safety measures for many destinations, such as presenting a negative test upon arrival and wearing masks, are essential steps for a successful getaway in 2021. In addition, every traveller has the responsibility of implementing safe practices during travel, such as social distancing and hand-washing. As travel restrictions continue to lift, here are travel trends we\u2019re seeing within the travel and tourism industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/global-travel-trends-2021-nyc-photographer-flytographer.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-72421\"><\/span><a style=\"line-height:1.7em\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/destinations\/new-york-city\/\">Photo: Flytographer in NYC<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_1\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/global-travel-trends-2021-tulum-photographer-flytographer.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-72422\"><\/span><a style=\"line-height:1.7em\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-tulum-meet-claudia\/\">Photo: Claudia in Tulum for Flytographer<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_2\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/global-travel-trends-2021-dc-photographer-flytographer.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-72423\"><\/span><a style=\"line-height:1.7em\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-washington-dc-meet-elisenda\/\">Photo: Elisenda in Washington DC for Flytographer<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_3\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/global-travel-trends-2021-jackson-hole-photographer-flytographer.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-72424\"><\/span><a style=\"line-height:1.7em\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-jackson-hole-meet-peter\/\">Photo: Peter in Jackson Hole for Flytographer<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_1  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h1><b>1.

Trips will hold more meaning<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A photo shoot is often a way to commemorate a significant moment in people\u2019s lives. While travel has always represented a special break from day-to-day life, we suspect that this year\u2019s trips will hold even more meaning. Flytographer has always focused on capturing memorable moments while on vacation, but reuniting with loved ones after a significant length of time apart during the lockdown is cause for celebration.

Domestic travel continues to lead<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many continue to dream of far-off getaways and international destinations, there are still many travel restrictions in place for foreign visitors that can present roadblocks. \u201cWe are unlikely to see all or even the majority of international markets that were served from the United States fully opened during the summer season, despite the best hopes of the airlines,\u201d said John Grant, a senior analyst at OAG, which provides global travel data (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/16\/travel\/international-summer-travel-coronavirus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York Times<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This rise in domestic travel, likely in part due to travel restrictions in many destinations, is reflected in Flytographer bookings. In 2019, the most-booked city for photo shoots was Paris, France, while in 2020, Jackson Hole, Wyoming took the top spot. Despite travel picking up again in 2021, Jackson Hole remains in the top 3 cities receiving inquiries for vacation photo shoots in the coming year (see figure 1.3, below).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-pandemic, the top travel destinations were disproportionate to the same places: iconic tourist destinations like Paris, New York City, Rome and London. While these cities will inevitably recover, Americans\u2019 minds have been opened to new destinations that are often just a road trip away or perhaps even within their local communities. Not only is this trend driving business to more local destinations, but it\u2019s also reducing the impact on popular cities previously feeling the impact of over-tourism. \u201cI believe that we are undergoing a profound, possibly once-in-a-century paradigm shift in travel.\u201d \u2013 Brian Chesky, Co-founder, Airbnb (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/2yaaAFs5B9ehmi4InYuvpP?si=9xfa4PgDRP6R4Q1iebV0ZA&amp;nd=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monocle 24: The Entrepreneurs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
