Sipping cocktails is a thing of the past.

As an increasing number of individuals embrace sobriety, vacations with minimal to no alcohol might just be the trend in 2024.

Dry tripping then is going on trips, vacations, and extended holidays and staying sober.

A study conducted by Hotels.com revealed that over 40 percent of 20,000 surveyed participants expressed their likelihood to opt for a detox getaway in the upcoming year.

Additionally, half of the respondents expressed interest in accommodations that provide appealing alcohol-free beverage choices. Cheers to a new era of mindful and alcohol-free travel!

With the rise of health-conscious and gym influencers, alcohol sales have coincidentally dropped. This is great news!

I must admit to liking a drink or two when I am out with friends or on a beach somewhere but at my age (and mindset) I cannot see the fun in becoming blind drunk anymore.

There was a time when my friends and I would go on holiday and not remember most of it. It was fun at the time, especially in my early 20s or late teens but looking back it was also quite a waste. Not only of brain cells but of money and time.

If I could redo my 20’s I would not drink as much but I guess learning what not to do is just as important as what to do. 

Fast forward to now and when I travel I look for adventures in hiking and keeping fit, this seems to be the trend now with the younger (and older) generations. I welcome it. 

Embarking on dry-tripping means exploring the destinations from my blogs without a hangover. It's not just about the gym; hiking and swimming offer fitness alternatives. Health-conscious travellers find a way, and staying adventurous is key.

Why Dry Trip?

In a world often soaked in spirits, the appeal of alcohol-free vacations is spreading like wildfire. Here's why:

Mindful Travel

Dry tripping offers a chance to fully engage with your surroundings. Without the haze of alcohol, your senses are heightened, allowing you to absorb the beauty of each destination with clarity.

Health and Wellness 

For the health-conscious wanderer, dry tripping aligns seamlessly with fitness goals. No hangovers mean more mornings for sunrise yoga sessions and scenic hikes.

Cultural Immersion

Sobriety opens doors to genuine connections with locals. Embrace conversations, delve into traditions, and savor the authenticity of each destination.

The Environmental Impact

Dry tripping isn't just a personal choice; it's a movement with broader implications. An upcoming trend even.

Let’s consider the positive impacts on the environment and local economies:

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Alcohol production and transportation contribute to carbon emissions. Opting for alcohol-free vacations is a conscious step toward a greener travel footprint.

Supporting Local Businesses

Dry tripping encourages exploration beyond bars. Local markets, non-alcoholic beverage vendors, and cultural experiences receive a well-deserved spotlight, bolstering community economies.

There are other ways this will support the local businesses, many locals hate when their beautiful islands or towns become the next crazy party place, yes it helps their economy for sure but the mess that is left behind is a lot for local people to accept over time. 

Discovering more

When your holiday revolves around alcohol it’s likely that hangovers hinder your movements that may otherwise be spent exploring the island, town, or city. Finding hidden gems, and tranquil locations that do wonders for your soul then is no doubt a better option, surely. 

If you are one of those people who hang around pools all day but get bored on holiday then maybe this post is for: Are you bored on holiday? 

Alcohol-free resorts

Imagine a getaway where the air is filled with serenity, and every moment is a celebration of wellness. Alcohol-free resorts, the hidden gems of travel, offer an unparalleled experience where indulgence is in clarity, not cocktails.

If you struggle with staying away from the alcohol then an alcohol-free resort can help keep those thoughts at bay. 

Adding alcohol-free resorts is not viable for this blog as the list would be endless. But you can make your way to Booking.com or other accommodation sites.

If you are looking for places to visit or stays that are alcohol-free check out TripAdvisor.com for inspiration.

Final Thoughts on Dry Tripping

Let’s be clear here I am not saying you should not drink while abroad anymore. This trend just highlights the healthier we get in general the better. 

My blog is dedicated to showing people, nomads especially, the things that can be done without alcohol, adventure travel, hiking, swimming, and still keeping active. There are so many gym influencers now that are spreading a positive vibe on social media and I welcome the change in mindset and travel.
