There is no denying that the travel industry has seen a massive boom in the past few years, and it’s only slated to grow further. While this is great for the industry, and more and more people get to travel and explore the world, it has also led to many popular tourist destinations being grossly overcrowded. Especially island countries like Maldives, and Thailand, which happen to mainly thrive on tourism, are extremely crowded, irrespective of the peak seasons, and travelling here often becomes a hassle.
One of the newer trends, which emerged as a solution to this, happens to be private island holidays.
Rise of the private island getaways
As the tourism industry gets more organised and innovative, private island holidays are on the rise. Before you write it off as a luxury stay at private island resorts in beautiful locales, it is a lot more inclusive. Wherever on the price scale your destination for a private island tour falls, there are options for every budget. Not just that, your private island tour doesn’t have to be full of tourist traps, more and more travel companies now offer to cater your private island vacation to your taste. While the traditional idea of a private island vacation in the Maldives lets you explore the beautiful island country and its sandy beaches, a private island tour customised to your taste can be full of activities you like, for example experiencing local food, learning through local chefs, or if you’re into heritage, it can be built around places of local history.
This is not a concept only popular in the West too, many Indian travel companies also offer a variety of private island tours, in places Goa, Kochi, and some coastal areas in Karnataka. These private island tours range from a 3 hour short day private island tour, and if you want to go all out, there are many offering week-long relaxation stays at private island resorts too.
