For decades, hordes of travelers have explored vast sections of the globe with a backpack in tow. Whether they were hitting up the tried and true Banana Pancake Trail in Southeast Asia or memorably losing a journal during those travels, many people have viewed those trips as seminal moments in their lives.
But backpacker tourism faces an uncertain post-pandemic future. Several destinations, like New Zealand, that are popular with backpackers may focus more on attracting high-end visitors.
Moreover, the death of backpacker tourism has already been foreshadowed as the cheap flights many young travelers have relied on may become less frequent as airlines seek to recoup massive losses they’ve suffered.

RAF pals share a charity challenge
| Updated: 11:07, 11 February 2021
RAF Marham comrades, Acting Corporal Aaron Austen (38) and SAC Brad Jackson (18), have set themselves the tough challenge of running 410 miles over the next six months to raise funds for bereaved Armed Forces children.
The pair will share the miles between them to raise as much money as they can for the Lynn-based charity Scottyâs Little Soldiers.
Set up in 2010 by war widow Nikki Scott, the charity offers support to children and young people who have experienced the death of a parent who served in the Armed Forces.
