Why Are We Traveling in 2025?
It’s no longer just about where we go — it’s about why.
At The Gypsy Travel Festival 2025, we hosted a thought-provoking panel discussion on "New Travel Motivations: Passion Journeys" that unpacked the evolving motivations shaping modern travel.
Moderated by: Rahul Jagtiani
On the Panel: Anshuka Parwani | Sahil Wahid | Sandeep Shevale | Raghav Gupta
Here’s what’s driving today’s travellers:
🧘♀️ Wellness Tourism – From discovering your dosha to bio-hacking your health, retreats like Vana, Tulah, and Six Senses are redefining how we unwind.
🎶 Music Tourism – Festivals like Tomorrowland, Hornbill, and Magnetic Fields are becoming global travel magnets.
🎾 Sports Tourism – Whether it’s Wimbledon, FIFA, or high-altitude treks, people now travel to play, not just watch.
🌍 Qatar – With over 52M+ transits, Qatar is quickly rising as a top short-haul destination.
