From The Great Gatsby and the Brothers
Grimm to pandas and gourmet pandering:
Ten travel trends for 2013
By Simon Lewis
PUBLISHED: 22:00, 30 March 2013 | UPDATED: 22:00, 30 March 2013
Forget the staycation this summer and be charmed by
the distinctly Dorset-like Nantucket, an underwater
restaurant in the Maldives and culinary heaven in St
Lucia
1. FOR GATSBY BUFFS
What do you go to America for? When The Great Gatsby comes out in May, this will
expand to include the distinctly Dorset-like charms of Nantucket

In the film, Twenties playboy Jay Gatsby lives on this small New England island. In real
life, Bill Gates, Google boss Eric Schmidt and the Kennedy clan summer there
What do you go to America for? Skyscrapers, Mickey Mouse, cowboy hats? When The Great
Gatsby comes out in May, this will expand to include the distinctly Dorset-like charms of Nantucket.
In the film, Twenties playboy Jay Gatsby lives on this small New England island. In real life, Bill
Gates, Google boss Eric Schmidt and the Kennedy clan summer there. But the best time to go is
before July or after August when the billionaires have left. As the closest bit of America, settled by
us in the 1650s, it’s more British than Britain. A refined choice. nantucketislandresorts.com
For the final touch, hire a period car from the Wauwinet Hotel. Careful, though: the film hinges on a
car crash...
2. FOR LOTTERY WINNERS

You'll need £990,000 to afford The Ultimate Journey, a two-year package for two from
Hurlingham Travel incorporating 962 World Heritage must-sees - such as the Taj Mahal...
...Machu Picchu (pictured left) and the Pyramids (pictured right)
You’ll need £990,000 to afford The Ultimate Journey, a two-year package for two from Hurlingham
Travel incorporating 962 World Heritage must-sees – such as the Taj Mahal, Machu Picchu and the
Pyramids, plus business-class flights and luxury hotels.
Since we spend on average £700 per person on a ten-day holiday, this is – let’s see – 1,414 times
over budget for most of us. But the tax-avoiding super-rich are different, and holidays like these
keep them ‘non-domiciled’ for a very long time… veryfirstto.com
3. FOR WILDLIFE LOVERS

The best chance of seeing panda cubs remains the purpose-built reserves in their
homeland of Sichuan Province. The first direct flight from Heathrow to Chengdu departs
in September
Edinburgh Zoo is hoping Yang Guang and Tian Tian will soon bring news to launch a thousand cute
YouTube clips but the best chance of seeing panda cubs remains the purpose-built reserves in their
homeland of Sichuan Province. The first direct flight from Heathrow to Chengdu departs in
September and Travelsphere has launched a Treasures Of China tour, featuring the option to
volunteer at Chengdu panda reserve. travelsphere.co.uk
Don’t like pandas? Dubai now has a huge dolphin-petting centre (atlantisthepalm.com).
4. FOR HAPPINESS SEEKERS

In Bhutan there are Buddhist festivals called tsechus to mark the months of the lunar
calendar all year round - the one in the capital Thimphu being the most colourful
Bhutan is largely unspoilt despite a growing collection of hotels and a new airport
Tours to Bhutan are thriving since it got out that they measure Gross National Happiness instead of
GDP – an idea so good David Cameron tried to nick it. It’s largely unspoilt despite a growing
collection of hotels and a new airport and there are Buddhist festivals called tsechus to mark the
months of the lunar calendar all year round – the one in the capital Thimphu (above) being the
most colourful.

The region in general is seeing a boom in tourism right now, from skiing in Kashmir (ampersand
travel.com) to glacier-trekking in Nepal. tourism.gov.bt
Where do the happy Bhutanese go on holiday? Bangkok for shopping, apparently, and India’s Bhod
Gaya for pilgrimage.
5. FOR BRAZIL NUTS
Brazil is developing a new generation of hotels. The latest is Botanique in the Campos do
Jordão mountains, north-east of São Paulo. It's designed to showcase Brazilian nature
with horse rides into the mountain
Developing like crazy for over a decade, this country of 193 million is itching to show off at next
year’s World Cup – can it be true that tourism from the U.S. and Europe has already doubled?
They’re upgrading three airports and spending $90billion on road, rail and sea links. There’s also a
new generation of hotels. The latest is Botanique in the Campos do Jordão mountains, north-east
of São Paulo. It’s designed to showcase Brazilian nature with horse rides into the mountains and a
‘100 per cent Brazilian spa’. botanique.com.br

6. FOR BARGAIN HUNTERS
'Poshtels': Safestay in London's Elephant & Castle and Plas Curig (pictured) in
Snowdonia could both pass muster in an interiors magazine, but will put you up for
around £20 a night
YMCA was about a hostel – although the Village People wouldn’t find much to sing about these
days with the hypoallergenic bedding, private showers, family rooms and continental breakfasts
offered at a new generation of ‘poshtels’ (their phrase, not ours). Safestay in London’s Elephant &
Castle and Plas Curig in Snowdonia could both pass muster in an interiors magazine, but will put
you up for around £20 a night.

The Niyama resort has an underwater nightclub, and the Ithaa underwater restaurant at
the Conrad Maldives has been converted - at great cost - into a bedroom suite
An entire underwater hotel opens this year in Fiji (poseidonresorts.com) and an even bigger one is
planned for Dubai, but the Maldives leads the way in this James Bond villain stuff. The Niyama
resort has an underwater nightclub, and the Ithaa underwater restaurant at the Conrad Maldives
has been converted – at great cost – into a bedroom suite. The Conrad also has a glass-floored
spa; so the fish can watch your daft expression as the lady rubs your shoulders. If you see a white
Lotus Esprit down there, sound the alarm. conradmaldives.com
8. FOR CULTURE VULTURES

08/04/2013 08:38
The thing every travel agent is talking about this year is culture. Why? There's a spate of
anniversaries, from the 200th anniversaries of the publication of Grimm's Fairytales and
the birth of Richard Wagner
Numbers will be up at the annual Bayreuth Festival of Wagner's music, with a new hotel
opening in May, free performances and the renovation of the Margravial Opera House
The thing every travel agent is talking about this year is culture. Why? There’s a spate of
anniversaries, from the U.S. Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 to the 200th anniversaries of the
publication of Grimm’s Fairytales and the birth of Richard Wagner. Numbers will be up at the
annual Bayreuth Festival of Wagner’s music, with a new hotel opening in May, free performances

and the renovation of the Margravial Opera House. bayreuth.de
The Germans will be coming here for Prince Harry’s garden at the Chelsea Flower Show (May 21).
9. FOR GOURMANDS
Culinary tourism is undergoing a boom. Last November we heard of a trip featuring 200
chefs, with 300 collective Michelin stars, which seems excessive
10 of 17
08/04/2013 08:38
Much more usual is this new offering for 2013 from Jade Mountain hotel in St Lucia: 'Six
In Your Sanctuary' is a six-course meal made by their executive chef in the privacy of
your room, with a view of the Pitons

2013 from Jade Mountain hotel in St Lucia: ‘Six In Your Sanctuary’ is a six-course meal made by

Closer to home: Hotel de Toiras near La Rochelle will actually send the chef out food shopping with
you

Mayor Bloomberg is pushing New York's outer boroughs as tourist destinations: there's
a Bronx Opera House Hotel going up and a London Eyetype wheel being built in Staten
Island (pictured: Queens)
Thanks to the gritty films of the Seventies, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island are forever
associated with graffiti and gangs. They’re still a long way from ultra-safe Manhattan but this year,
Mayor Bloomberg is pushing the outer boroughs as tourist destinations: there’s a Bronx Opera
House Hotel going up, a London Eyetype wheel being built in Staten Island and a reasonable
argument that you get a better view of New York from across the water. That is where most actual
New Yorkers live, after all. nycgo.com
Where the painfully hip go: Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, home of the ironic moustache.

NEW: The biggest GTA yet: Grand Theft Auto V screens and box art released (Xbox 360 / PS3)
Every bit as brilliant as they are controversial, Grand Theft Auto games have redefined the open-world genre. And GTA
V looks set to push the boundaries further.
Next-gen THIEF announced (PC / PS4 / TBC)
At long last, the shadows are starting to lift. Garrett, the Master Thief is on the way back in this announcement trailer for
Eidos-Montreal's next title. Watch it here.
Metal Gear Solid V screens emerge (TBC)
Gamers have waited for years for a Metal Gear Solid title to arrive. But just as patience was starting to wane, two come
along... but without David Hayter voicing Snake.
Review: Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel (Xbox 360 / PS3)
Army of Two games are like Chuck Norris films - forgettable shooting galleries. And it's safe to say that The Devil's
Cartel is no different. Still, it's the best of the bunch.

First-look: Battlefield 4 (TBC)
Welcome to Battlefield 4. Or, as the gameplay demonstration would have us believe, Medal of Duty: Warfighter Ops III.
Still, it looks one of the best looking games this year.
Review: Bioshock Infinite (Xbox 360 / PS3 /PC)
You won't leave Columbia. Not for a long time, anyway. As from the moment you're launched into the sky-high dystopia,
Infinite takes hold and does not let go.
Review: Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 (Xbox 360 / PS3 /PC)
'A complete sniper experience,' boasts a quote from another website on its box. Sadly, although Ghost Warrior 2 aims
high, it ultimately misses the target.
Review: Gears of War: Judgment (Xbox 360)
If you're a Gears fan, this promises not to disappoint. But for those after emotional storytelling and multifaceted level
design, you may want to look somewhere else.
