After more than two years of travel restrictions, it feels surreal to plan our travels with reckless abandon. But the world as we know it has changed, and we have too.

But it takes on new importance now. We&#8217;ve been reckoning with colonialism and extreme weather events in recent years. Even the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) acknowledged that tourism needs to be accountable for its current and future impacts on the economy, society, and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So it&#8217;s no wonder travel and tourism are trying to clean up their act too. And you can see everyone, from private individuals and big-time travel brands to even government bodies doing so. Some are choosing to travel closer to home to cut back on emissions. Google Flights shows flights with fewer carbon emissions. Airlines are acquiring planes with better fuel efficiency. As companies find ways to cut down on their carbon footprint, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">business travellers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> may fly less too. Hotel chains are opting to housekeep their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hotel rooms<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> less to save on resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some governments are picking up the mantle too. In South Africa, Grootbos Lodge launched a<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grootbosfoundation.org\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to support the Masakhane Community Farm and Training Centre. The lodge gave plots of land to local people who completed the training. With that, locals can increase their income and access to local, healthy foods.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/06\/18\/sustainable-travel-travelers-care-but-few-want-to-pay-for-it-.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> But at the end of the day, how far are you willing to go for sustainability?<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-solo-travelling.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-solo-travelling.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-solo-travelling-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-solo-travelling-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-solo-travelling-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-solo-travelling-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"metroresidences singapore serviced apartments - 2023 international travel trends - solo travelling\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"divider-wrap\"><div style=\"height: 10px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1672974876662{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 id=\"2-flying-solo\"><strong>Flying Solo<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1673000022334{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many a travel blogger attest to its benefits.

When you&#8217;re travelling alone, you&#8217;re giving yourself the time and space to truly be present with your thoughts and emotions. You don&#8217;t need to work around someone else&#8217;s schedule. So you can just go wherever you want to go and meet whoever you want to meet. &#8216;Eat, Pray, Love&#8217; may hold some truth after all (the book, not the movie).<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-edinburgh-cultural-capitals.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-edinburgh-cultural-capitals.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-edinburgh-cultural-capitals-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-edinburgh-cultural-capitals-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-edinburgh-cultural-capitals-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-2023-international-travel-trends-edinburgh-cultural-capitals-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"metroresidences singapore serviced apartments - 2023 international travel trends - edinburgh cultural capitals\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"divider-wrap\"><div style=\"height: 10px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1672974912949{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 id=\"3-cultural-capital\"><strong>Cultural Capitals<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1672975579573{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There&#8217;s a reason why so many films are set in New York and Tokyo.

An oft-repeated example now is &#8216;The White Lotus&#8217;, a black comedy-drama anthology television series on HBO. Its setting is as beautiful as its plot is deadly. From Hawaii in Season 1, we were treated to the wickedly charming coasts of Sicily in Season 2, where the San Domenico Palace served as the base for the characters.

Travelling in 2023 is less about luxury and more about authenticity. Why get cooped up in a five-star <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hotel room<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> when you can live where magical moments can happen? Who needs the breakfast buffet when you can find fresh falafels around the corner?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hotels with fewer stars don&#8217;t mean that they&#8217;re absolute hellholes. Plenty of three-star hotels have swanky rooms and excellent amenities. So they&#8217;re perfect for spontaneous getaways, especially when a lot of us are strapping up our purse strings. Some hospitality companies and chain hotels are coming up with their own three-star superstars too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the well-heeled, another option may be <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">serviced apartments<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It&#8217;s perfect for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">digital nomads<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to set up base at a serviced apartment, especially when they are staying for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">longer period<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of time.
