Antarctica, a destination that captures the hearts of adventurers, offers a unique duality. For some, it serves as a sanctuary to seek solace and escape the bustling world. Like a lone hiker on a serene trail, those individuals value the peace and tranquility of the continent. On the other hand, Antarctica is also seen as a backdrop for social gatherings and special occasions. It’s like an interactive museum where families come together to celebrate milestones or couples embark on romantic getaways. Recent research highlights this phenomenon, revealing that traveling to nature-based destinations for socializing is a growing trend in tourism. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the connection between people and Antarctica has been temporarily disrupted. As we yearn for the return of travel, we eagerly await future expeditions to this extraordinary continent that offers both solitude and community.
Travel to nature-based destinations to socialize — to celebrate anniversaries, honeymoons or to spend time with family for a holiday — is a growing trend in tourism, and it was a significant motivator for travel to Antarctica before the pandemic, researchers found in recent study.
