In an era where the allure of distant lands and the thrill of exploration captivate the human spirit, the limitations and challenges of traditional travel often dampen the adventurous spark.
Imagine a world where these barriers are obliterated, where the icy touch of Iceland’s glaciers, the majestic eruption of a Japanese volcano, or a mesmerizing sunset from Cape Town’s Signal Hill are experiences not read about in travel magazines but lived, felt, and breathed in real-time. This is not the future; this is MetaPax.
Modern traveling challenges
The financial constraints, lack of time, and cumbersome visa processes have made international travel an elusive dream for many.
According to the Travel of State report, these are the main three reasons why people want to, but can’t travel:
- Lack of money: 27%.
- Lack of time off from work or school: 26%.
- Family and other commitments: 13%.
Lack of money
Due to the current global situation, many believe we are entering a recession. But even without talking about the annual growth rate of global import volumes, people are experiencing rising costs of living and inflation all over the world.
As a consequence 82% of Brits of the age 25–35 state that the rising cost of living may have an impact on holiday decisions.
Besides rising costs of living, there also appear to be rising costs of traveling that contribute to the lack of money people have for travel.
Flights
CNBC reports that the current cost of a round-trip airline ticket from the USA to Europe stands at approximately $1,000, marking a 20% increase compared to the same period in 2019 and a 32% rise from last year, according to Hayley Berg, the lead economist at Hopper, a travel app. Similarly, a round-trip flight to Asia is now priced at $1,600, which is about 60% more expensive than it was in 2019.
Accommodation
According to data from the Hotel Price Index (HPI) of the Hotel Occupancy Survey, in 2022 prices rose by 16.8%, well above the historical average and, in the first five months of 2023.
Car rentals
According to data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, car rental prices have increased by almost 50 percent since the beginning of 2019!
In addition, traditional travel, though rich in its offerings, is often marred by logistical challenges. The U.S. Travel Association reported that in 2022, issues related to flight cancellations, delays, and mishandled baggage cost travelers more than $8.3 billion.
Imagine if you finally manage to save up for your dream holiday and it ends up being ruined!
Other travel constraints
Lack of time
Leading the busy lives of modern society, a holiday is a dream of many. However, finding time to plan one is another challenge that adds to the list. And more importantly — when to plan it for! Commitments such as work and school leave us with short time gaps for the time to unwind.
Visas
Besides lack of time and money which is enlarged even more by rising costs of travelling, cumbersome visa application processes can often ruin the holiday plans. If The Great Wall of China is on your bucket list — better start the visa process now, if you want to see it anytime soon!
Disabilities
Around the world, the travel experiences of passengers with disabilities can differ greatly. A case in point was highlighted by the Australian media, where Australian Paralympian Karni Liddell was denied boarding on a flight from Brisbane earlier this year. The reason given was that Liddell hadn’t informed the airline five days ahead of her departure, as required by the airline’s policies for passengers with disabilities.
