We're welcoming a new era of travel. Are you in?

Travel (and our feelings towards it) seems more complicated these days. But it doesn’t have to be. We know that travel has the power to transform, to remove barriers, to allow us to experience freedom and friendship. And it can be a powerful force for good. Let’s embrace a new, more considered, more connected – and more joyful – travel era.

WHAT WE'RE EXPLORING

Slow as the new go

Now that travel is firmly back in all our lives, how are you travelling? Have you embraced slow as the new go, chosen the road less travelled, passed through rather than over land and cityscapes? From the sheer joy of the journey to the desire to protect our planet, Kit Watts explores the reasons why.

WHAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING

Frankfurt beyond IMEX

Just a few short weeks after we closed the doors on IMEX Frankfurt 2023, reps from every IMEX team (from new starters to 21-year veterans) headed back for a two-day immersion in, and new perspective on, all things Frankfurt, from velotaxis to Apfelwein to Haddekuche.

WHAT WE'RE WELCOMING

A new era of travel

Winners of the 2023 IMEX-EIC Innovation in Sustainability Award, Destination Canada are at the forefront of the charge towards a new era of travel, one that’s regenerative and that benefits everyone involved. We catch up with Destination Canada’s Virginie De Visscher as she explains their collaborative strategy.

WHAT WE'RE ALLOWING OURSELVES TO BE

Sidetracked

Venturing into the unknown, taking the road less travelled, being open to adventure can be daunting. But if there ever was a publication to inspire you to go off the beaten path, it’s Sidetracked. Start with adaptive cyclist Quinn Brett’s journey along the Great Divide and let the transformative power of travel take hold.
