With the popularity of veganism increasing, travel companies are answering the diet-conscious call for healthier options. Countries with traditionally vegan-friendly cuisine may be welcoming more tourists as well, making vegan travel a big trend for 2020. FlightHub and JustFly take a closer look at vegan travel below. Why Vegan Travel? Veganism is becoming an increasingly popular lifestyle choice for millennials. In fact, in the United States and Great Britain the number of consumers who identify as vegan has risen by more than 800 percent collectively since 2014. This plant-based lifestyle has plenty of benefits. Here's a short but telling list:
Vegan Hotels: In the Scottish Highlands, travelers can visit the UK's first ever vegan hotel, Saorsa 1875. It features 11 bedrooms with linen not made from animal by-products and boasts an entirely plant-based restaurant menu. According to their website, "Saorsa 1875 is designed for vegans, vegetarians and the plant-curious—a unique hotel dedicated to showcasing ethical luxury." In Bel Air, California, The Treehouse boutique hotel also offers a curated vegan experience. The Treehouse provides vegan cooking classes, products and more. Its current homepage describes the property as "Boho-chic, plant-based, biodynamic. A hideaway in the City of Angels. Redefining luxury as wellbeing." Another section of the site reads, "Veganism is not a fad. It is the new world order of compassion. Already proven to reduce the risk of illness by 800 percent, more people are hopping on to this style of living." Airlines, hotels, tour operators, cruises and other travel businesses are adding new products and services to better accommodate a growing global appetite for veganism. Vegan Friendly Destinations: Many budget-conscious travelers choose to prepare vegan meals instead of purchasing them. Traveling to vegan friendly countries makes this easier. Tourists can visit organic markets, take vegan cooking lessons with professional help, participate in several food tours and experiment with local vegan cuisine. The vegan lifestyle extends past the food eaten on trips. It's becoming a primary focus for a growing number of travelers. The countries listed below are popular vegan destinations:
