It doesn’t mean you should stop travelling altogether: you just have to travel smarter. Think off-beat adventures, remote travel packages and hidden sanctuaries far from the crowds.

However, remember to exercise the necessary precautions and act responsibly.

Moreover, over-touristed hotspots like Amsterdam, Venice and Prague will get to recover, and who knows? These remote travel packages will give you more time with what matters most: a tranquil holiday with an unfettered opportunity to soak in the sights and sounds of your holiday destination. As a bonus, there won’t even be a queue to take a selfie with your significant other.
