Slow, Steady Travel The New Norm

Aug 08, 2022

This week in The Australian, writer Susan Kurosawa permeates the notion of slow travel, suggesting travellers ‘combine nature with nurture at Silky Oaks Lodge in the Queensland Daintree, recently reopened by new owner Baillie Lodges with an array of upgrades, including the Daintree Pavilion, a one-of-a kind multi-level abode with two bedrooms, pool and immersive rainforest locale.’ The article reveals a favourite focus is eco-conscious adventure with a soft centre, from members of Luxury Lodges of Australia.

How to travel well as we emerge from the so-called pandemic pause? Let us count the ways. Trends are fast emerging and the news is good. What’s instantly clear from research and statistics provided by destination marketers, tour operators and airlines is that Australians are on the move and, conversely, pretty well staying put when they get there. Just one of the freshly minted neologisms is “slojourns”. The message is all about immersion in a place, making meaningful connections, and shucking off the helter-skelter pace of leaping from one city or even country to another.’ – Susan Kurosawa, The Australian.
