In recent years, a new travel trend has been quietly taking over summer holiday plans: the “coolcation.” As global temperatures rise and popular tourist destinations become increasingly hot and crowded, more travellers are choosing to escape the heat altogether and head somewhere cold, crisp, and refreshing instead.
