How do peo­ple get inspired to trav­el?

How do peo­ple get inspired to trav­el?

They talk to those they want to trav­el with either in per­son, on Skype, via text, or with a mes­sag­ing app like What­sapp. Or they talk to trust­ed con­tacts with trav­el expe­ri­ence in the region they want to visit.

They don’t rely on web­sites. I firm­ly believe most peo­ple want to be told what to do in the vast major­i­ty of sit­u­a­tions. Trav­el­ers are no dif­fer­ent: a web­site can’t make a deci­sion for you on where to go next.

And so it begs the ques­tion, as an indus­try, how do we truly inspire more peo­ple to actu­al­ly trav­el — my major entre­pre­neur­ial goal — right now?

In my mind, the most authen­tic way is to increase the pool of peo­ple poten­tial trav­el­ers have to con­verse with, and facil­i­tate the trip dis­cus­sions in a broad­er group that includes loos­er con­nec­tions, while still remain­ing inside a trust­ed and secure envi­ron­ment (which email, phone, and text are).

When we nail that dynam­ic in the trav­el indus­try, I believe we will have found a way to get more peo­ple on the road.

What form does your trav­el inspi­ra­tion come in, and where do you get it?
