In the future, we will be travelling in space and underwater. And when we check into a hotel room, it doesn't matter if we've forgotten our toothpaste - there's a 3D printer that allows us to print new ones. Yesterday we attended a press event where Skyscanner presented the latest instalment of their report on the future of travel.

This part was about destinations and hotels. So where do we travel in the future and how do we stay on holiday? Below you can read about the travel phenomena of the future. Does this appeal to you?
- High-tech hotel rooms - In the hotel rooms of the future, you can vitamin C-enrich the shower water and choose colour therapy lighting. There may even be 3D printers so you can print toothpaste or soap ...
- Space travel - As early as 2016, World View Enterprises will take passengers into space for the low price of $75 000. By 2024, tourists will be able to travel around the Earth in the inner orbit.
- Underwater adventures - Entire hotel facilities will be placed under water. There are already hotels with underwater rooms, such as the Atlantis Hotel in Dubai.
- Dinner clubs - In the future, we want personalised and genuine travel experiences, which is why there will be an increase in dinner clubs, where local foodies organise dinner parties in their own homes.
- New countries - We want to be unique and visit destinations where few others have travelled. That's why places like Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea appeal to us. Other rising destinations include Botswana, Angola and Lebanon.
- Endangered animals - We not only want to be the first to experience something, but also the last. That's why we want to see endangered animals like the black rhino or the orangutan. Fortunately, it doesn't have to mean exploitation, but can help support these species.

As for Lebanon, I was there, in Beirut, for a month in 1966 and it was really cool. I would love to go back. Otherwise, there is nothing that appeals to me like that. I would like to go to South Africa, Antarctica and Easter Island, and I could possibly imagine an underwater adventure.
And I also like to return to Tibet every year. There is a lot to explore there.

You could have announced that press conference earlier, so to speak;-)
Personally, there is nothing that turns me on except "New countries" and there is actually Lebanon relatively high on the list.
Almost ended up there, but then, as usual, politics got in the way. This also applied to Sri Lanka for that matter. But I don't mourn any of the destinations, to be honest...

Ditte, I think there is perhaps a bit too much focus on high technology, but I think dinner clubs sound nice! I wouldn't say no to South Africa, Antarctica and Easter Island either!
BP, not so much that attracts me either, except that I think dinner clubs sound nice! Lebanese food is great!

We were in Iran in 1995. Quite a different destination, actually. And interesting! But I can say that I am happy that I was born in Sweden.

Anders' dream destination is space. He wants to go to the moon at least. I want to go to Ullared...

Ama de casa, interesting to visit Iran. Although, as I said, many times you can count yourself lucky to be born in Sweden. A little easier to realise your dream than Anders perhaps... I'm not so keen on space actually. But Ullared is not very high on my list either...
