2023 Eco-Travel Trends: AVANA RETREAT "Off the Grid"

AVANA RETREAT – more than a luxury mountain resort; it is a love and enthusiasm for nature, the environment, culture, and the people who live in this part of the world. So, let’s see what type of “off the grid” experience Avana Retreat offers travelers.

Eco-Travel Trends: Sustainable & Developing

Looking back on 2022 as the period of the “spectacular revival of tourism,” 2023 is expected to be the year of “breakthrough tourism.” Tourism trends in 2023 indicate a shift toward conscientious travel, in which travelers consider their trips in a more holistic manner.

As the consequences of climate change and environmental degradation become more apparent, sustainable travel is more crucial than ever. In the future, sustainable travel habits will be important to the travel industry’s recovery, particularly following a worldwide pandemic in order to make up for time lost. People are increasingly looking for solutions to reduce their negative environmental impact while simultaneously helping local economies and societies.

At this point, the growing number of young, wealthy travelers seeking distinctive experiences and pursuing luxury as a lifestyle, as well as “solo and self-focused” travelers preferring excursions focusing on wellness and mental health, is likely to grow.

Sustainable tourism has emerged as a critical component of the travel industry, with tour operators at the forefront of this trend. People who are interested in traveling responsibly are also more likely to visit off-the-beaten-path locations in search of a more genuine and sustainable experience.

Understanding the desires and requirements of each visitor, Avana Retreat is proud to be the business that creates the most meaningful, cohesive & memorable journeys.

Travel “Going off Grid”: The Value of Sustainable Tourism

Why the name “Avana” and what makes it stand out in the travel industry? “Avana” means “beautiful flower” and originates from an African term. Avana was created out of a desire to spread fragrance over the highlands. The origins of this wonderful project begin with a trek in Mai Chau, where nature, the wild and majestic landscape, still exudes the poetic and peaceful character that inspires and arouses the idea for Avana to bring the precious gift of nature, a seed of joy and peace, to everyone.

Avana prioritizes sustainable development, thereby they planted hundreds of trees in this area and are going to keep bringing green color to this land. While saying “no” to waste made of plastic and limiting its impact on the environment, Avana Retreat is still enthusiastic to provide visitors with the highest level of luxury and convenience throughout their stay.

The inhabitants of the mountains who have been involved in the foundation since its inception, along with many other locals, have now become an integral part of Avana. They came to Avana seeking to develop themselves, while Avana was eager to cultivate the “green” land. Avana can be the one who provides the opportunity to work in the motherland to the people here, and for Avana, they are close family members, the parts that contribute to developing and completing the Avana Retreat today.
