Experiential travel has been the buzzword in the scene for the past few years, and experts say it will only continue its stronghold as travellers remain committed to seeking out local and authentic experiences.

Those authentic experiences are perhaps best sought from local artisans or long-time residents of a particular destination. In fact, many practitioners and local experts have been listing their workshops and services on online platforms.
