What is Revenge Travel?

It’s the new big trend in post-lockdown travel. But what does it mean?

Covid-19 forced many of us to make hard decisions. Trips were canceled and plans put on hold. But with the world beginning to open up, travelers are seeking to catch up on the trips they missed and opportunities they had to pass up. To put it another way, they’re “taking revenge” on Covid. This is an urge, a desire; to make up for lost time and to compensate for lost trips. But despite the negative connotations of the word, it couldn’t be more optimistic, conveying a real urge to get out and see the world again. And to really make it count.

That might mean going hard on a sprawling, bucket-list trip. It might mean taking an indulgent wellness escape or an island retreat. For some, it means repeating a trip that had to be shelved. At its heart, it reflects a newfound desire to to travel like never before. During lockdown, we pined for the bucket list moments we always wanted to take.

Happily, we’re here to help you get your revenge. And with a beautiful summer on the horizon, it doesn’t have to be served cold.
