What do you do if your passion for travel and tourism is starting to fade?

First of all try to connect your Passion for Travel and Tourism with your Profession and surely you will start loving it again. So choose your profession wisely. Secondly, take some time and think again about your reasons for selecting your passion and try to relate them with your life. Visit new attractions and try new and different activities. Set some targets like visiting at-least 15 destinations in a year including two treks and one foreign destination. Don't be monotonous by repeating the same kind of activities, try something new. Add some tasks like Social Service, volunteering etc. while you travel to attractions. Document your travel or make some content out of it which you can publish, that will motivate you to keep travelling.

Integrating learning experiences into your travels can add a rewarding dimension to your trips. Consider taking a cooking class in Italy, learning to scuba dive in Australia, or studying a language while living in Spain. Acquiring new skills not only enriches your travel experience but also gives you a sense of accomplishment and a new lens through which to view the world.

Been there. It's tough. Whenever you feel your passion for tourism is gone, it's time to take a step back and look into why. What worked for me was to assess the actual cause of my fading passion. At that moment, it was a mix of things: I was unhappy with my work at the time, it was long hours, exhausting, and not rewarding on any level; I was in a personal situation of uncertainty about my future, and all these things were reflecting in lack of motivation and my passion for the industry fading. Once I was able to identify that, I thought of ways to fight back. I quit my job and went back to one I loved within the industry, and took some personal time to reflect and re-find the passion for the industry I loved.

Talk with your friends or family who recently went on a trip, especially if you helped them plan or book it. Take the time to go somewhere, even if it's just for a weekend or an evening to see something new and different. Learn about a new place and see yourself there. I dream of visiting Macchu Picchu. I look at pictures or go on YouTube to see what someone else sees. I imagine what I want to see and do or experience. I write about it and write it down.

This point was something I overlooked for a long time and made a huge difference when I started practicing it. Go out and enjoy the places nearby. Go and see your city and places close to home with "tourists' eyes". Go for a meal out if you can, do a hike, book, and activity. Most times we're so caught up in our routines that we forget to enjoy these little things that are out there for us to take. Go out and explore, and do a little local runaway!

If your passion for travel and tourism is starting to fade, it's important to take a step back and reflect on what initially drew you to this field. Consider exploring new destinations or types of travel experiences to reignite your enthusiasm. Engaging in activities related to travel, such as reading travel blogs, watching documentaries, or participating in local cultural events, can help you rediscover your love for travel. Additionally, taking a break from writing about travel and focusing on other interests or hobbies for a while might provide a fresh perspective and rejuvenate your passion for the industry.
