A latest report released by Skyscanner, an online global travel search company, tells about how the world will travel in 2024. The report titled "The Future of Travel 2024" has presented a view about the vacation destinations people in 2024 will be opting for.
The report has been prepared by a group of 56 people, which even includes a team of researchers, editors, travel industry experts and some futurists from all over the world.
According to the report, the vacationers' destinations in 2024 will include spaceflight and visits to underwater hotels. The experts in the report stated that the people in 2024 will be frequently seen travelling into space for both short and long-term trips. They said these trips will not be restricted only to billionaires as several commercial spaceflight companies such as Virgin Galactic and World View Enterprises are trying their best to make these space trips affordable for low earth orbits in 2024 and beyond.
These affordable trips will allow travelers to experience zero gravity in low earth orbit for several minutes. Futurist Daniel Burris said that those who can spend more on these trips can get their seats booked on vehicles that spend more time in low earth orbit.
It has been reported that World View Enterprise is not interested to wait so long to giveits passengers an alien environment, therefore, the company has planned to ferry passengers 30 km above the Earth with the help of a low orbital hot air balloon to carry a pressurized cabin and it expected to start within next two years.
In addition, underwater tourism is another tourism destination that will be added to the list of vacation spots of 2024. Some companies have already started to make plans for such vacation designations. Deep Water Technology, a Polish company, is planning to construct underwater hotels which will have large windows through which passengers can view the exotic undersea environment.
Dubai and Maldives are already working on two underwater resorts known as the Water Discus Hotels, which will feature observation decks 10 meters below the surface of the ocean.
According to a new report of the United State Department of Health and Human Services, about 70% of today's 65-year-olds need some form of long-term care. The health department has stated that about 20% people will it for about five years.
