G Adventures ran a survey among 4 236 travellers across the UK and Ireland to better understand what travel trends to expect post-pandemic. They found that 32% of respondents intend to take their next trip with multiple friends and / or family members. It is understood that this sentiment comes from wanting to reconnect and spend quality time with loved one’s post lockdown, while also giving people peace of mind while travelling with a group of people they know and trust in a ‘social bubble’.
A survey found that 32% of respondents intend to take their next trip with multiple friends and / or family members.(During the pandemic, socialising with a small and exclusive group of people – a ‘bubble’ – is an idea that was promoted to help prevent the transmission of the virus.) As a direct result, G Adventures released a ‘Book Your Bubble Collection’ of private trips ideally suited to groups like this. They now offer 80 tours that provide additional benefits over and above those that normally apply when booking private small group travel.

The Book Your Bubble Collection makes booking a private tour more flexible and affordable than ever before.”He says, “We want to ensure travelling is made as attractive as possible following this pandemic.
