The future of travel industry might never be the same, but tourism as experimentation and discovery will increasingly define one’s identity and aspirations. Cyberpunk’s star futurologist Bruce Sterling will outline what holidaymakers will be like and what they will be doing a decade from now. Physical displacement to a distant land will return being an exclusive experience, while fruition of leisure and culture will be more focused and customized than before. Vacationing to faraway places will define luxury, after the age of ubiquitous mass tourism. Electric mobility and hypermobility will redesign access to cities and venues. Going to another country will be about putting your body and mind on the line before losing yourself in the locality. And narrating one’s trip will be as important as the journey itself. A roster of mind-altering guests from different fields will take viewers by the hand to explore the dimensions of future travel.
