In a normal year, travel trends constantly ebb and flow. Certain destinations will become popular, experiences will pique interest and new technology will influence the desires and habits of vacationers and backpackers alike. Some destinations remain popular, while others are influenced by movies or popular culture illuminating new spots. Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2006 “Eat, Pray, Love” made the New York Time’s Best Seller list for 137 weeks and suddenly thousands of people were flocking to Bali, claiming to have been inspired by Gilbert’s novel and new tours advertised the full “Eat, Pray, Love,” experience.
