Start your New Year by making memories

World Travel Week (8th-14th of Jan) can help you decide where to go

‘Travel more’ is always high up on everyone’s New Year’s resolution list, but most of us leave it till the summer, or end up missing the opportunity all together.
The third Monday in January is known as ‘Blue Monday’, the most depressing time of the year. This is due seasonal depression, post-Christmas financial difficulty, less daylight, and to top it all off, this is the time most fail or give up on new year’s resolutions.

World Travel Week aims to inspire the UK to travel in the week before, to pick up their spirits and tick at least one thing off their resolution list by travelling somewhere new. With UK temperatures set to plummet, there’s no better time to escape the dreary British weather and enjoy sunnier days, that will help boost your mood.

Adam Cox, Founder of World Travel Week: “World Travel Week was created with a simple mission of inspiring people to visit new and exciting countries and destinations. Many people have a habit of going back to the same handful of destinations year after year. This year we’d like to encourage people to venture outside their comfort zone and go somewhere they’d never normally dream of going”.
Adam continued. “They say that travel broadens the mind but it actually offers many other benefits including mental wellbeing, better relationships and offering time for reflection. Although recharging the batteries is a metaphor used for travel and holidays it’s also very accurate and the benefits of travel can’t be underestimated”.
