Therefore, to save on travel costs, travel enthusiasts are tending to bring less baggage on each trip.

| 4. Women traveling alone: Traveling alone is not the first choice of many people, especially women. However, with the help of convenient applications and travel companies, the number of girls choosing to adventure alone is increasing rapidly. According to the number of keywords on search engines, the phrase "women traveling alone" increased by 52% between 2016 and 2017. Photo: Shutterstock |
| 5. "Goodbye" selfies: There are many reasons why "selfies" are almost eliminated from young people's travel photo albums. Partly because selfie sticks are banned in many famous tourist destinations for safety reasons as well as to avoid disturbing others. Another reason is that young people are moving towards better quality images taken with cameras instead of "selfies" taken with phones. Photo: Shutterstock |
