5 Inspiring Publications We're Getting Travel Ideas From in 2022

It’s been two long years since the global pandemic abruptly closed borders around the world. As the world reopens, it’s exciting to consider traveling again — whether it’s jetsetting around the globe or road tripping to a nearby city. Travel offers so many benefits; from visiting new places, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures, to providing a break from your routines and responsibilities, it’s invigorating. And although traveling does require some form of financial investment, you can tailor your travel plans to fit any budget these days and find unique experiences along the way!

Travel Planning

Before you start your planning, it’s important to stay up to date with the ways travel has changed over the past few years. As part of your research, planning, and preparation, make sure you check into specific travel warnings, COVID-19 testing requirements and restrictions, visa requirements, and other guidelines that vary by country. In the U.S., you can visit the CDC for pandemic-related travel warnings.

If you’re ready to start traveling again, it’s time to start planning your trip from transportation, hotel or Airbnb, tours, and meals. The planning phase of travel is often a fun activity in its own right. Whether you have a specific destination in mind or are starting from scratch, researching new places to travel offers you a glimpse into new and exciting worlds! Most people start by researching destinations online, reading travel magazines, speaking with friends, and scouring review sites. Social media is another great avenue to explore a destination, check out visitors’ photos, and dig a little deeper into the many activities, restaurants, and overnight accommodations in a potential travel spot.

Issuu is also a fantastic place to explore beautiful digital travel content that will fuel your wanderlust. From digital magazines, hotel brochures, tourism guides, destination maps, and more, the extensive travel content library on Issuu makes for hours and hours of fruitful research – or just daydreaming.

National Geographic Expeditions

Our next travel idea — National Geographic Expeditions — grew from National Geographic’s rich 134-year history of sending explorers across continents and into remote cultures, down to the oceans’ depths, and up the highest mountains in an effort to better understand the world and our relationship to it. National Geographic Expeditions invites others to explore, encounter the wonders of the world up close and in-depth, and be transformed by the experience. When you book a National Geographic Expedition for your vacation, you gain access to knowledgable people and fascinating places all over the globe. You’ll end the trip feeling enriched by the National Geographic experts and guides, as well as the local experts you will meet along the way.

Booking a trip also helps further the work of the National Geographic Society. Every year, a portion of their proceeds goes directly to the National Geographic Society, a global nonprofit that invests in an international community of explorers such as leading scientists, educators, storytellers, conservationists, technologists, and more. These changemakers explore the critical challenges of our time, seek new knowledge, advance innovative solutions, and inspire positive change. With dozens of unique and engaging trips to choose from, including wildlife safaris and expedition cruises to photography expeditions and family trips, a National Geographic Expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Adventure awaits.
