Add this word to your growing travel vocabulary – it’s a new 2008 word along with “Staycation”. Ian Yeoman, a travel industry futurologist explains what people need to be doing to make their summer vacations more valuable. He has lots of examples from Alaska to Scotland of how people are making their lives simpler.

With oil prices at levels high enough to make everyone depressed and a lot of people find comfort in their basements (or bunkers in Idaho?), it’s time to step back. There are few people who don’t want to get away this summer – Ian suggests someplace without TV, Internet or media. If you’re going to have a vacation, make it count.
