You’re not imagining things if you notice how often new travel trends pop up. From baby mooning to eco-travel, there is no shortage of creativity when it comes to finding reasons to get away, but the latest trend, quiet vacationing, has grown exponentially in 2024. Emily Stewart, author of a recent Insider website article, writes that “There’s no set definition of quiet vacationing,” yet the movement has become so popular, that people are taking full-blown quiet vacations while continuing to produce work at an impressive rate.
The Insider isn’t the only resource profiling quiet vacationing. Axios reports that a recent Harris Poll found that 4 out of 10 survey respondents took time off without telling their bosses and 48% of respondents “admitted to quiet vacationing.” If this sounds like a great excuse to get away, there’s no better destination than Belize since the plane ride is short and everyone speaks English, so why not think about one?
Grab a plane and head south
To join this rapidly growing movement, only a small, charming, adults-only Belize island will do. At Coco Plum Island Resort, take care of business from your ultra-private beachfront cabana at the resort named #12 on TripAdvisor’s 2024 Best All-Inclusives in the World. Your Belize All Inclusive Snorkel Package takes care of every aspect of your stay so you can focus on getting your work done while treating yourself to a relaxing Caribbean vacation.
Nobody need know that in between meeting deadlines, you’re swimming in the resort’s pool, spending time on the beach, and trying out the complimentary Hobie Cat Wave, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards. The island’s à la carte tour menu offers activities like snorkeling, cave tubing, zip-lining, and exploring Maya ruins or you could opt for the Jungle Tour Add-On. Since every aspect of your quiet vacation is covered by your package—and since complimentary wireless internet service is available—you could find yourself so disciplined, meeting your work deadlines is a breeze because you’ll be blissfully relaxed and focused.
Must you take your quiet vacation during the summer months?
A better time would be the fall for a variety of reasons. You’ve got lots of time to prep for your escape, temperatures are cooler and more refreshing (between 72-degrees F and 84-degrees F), summer tourists have disappeared, and accommodation availability at Coco Plum may be easier to book. There are airfare bargains to be found by booking in advance using a resource like the aggregator Kayak.
Further, Coco Plum’s Early Bird Special remains in effect until December 18th, so if you’d like to relocate your workspace and you’ve got fall dates identified, why not save money while continuing to earn some? As the quiet vacation movement builds momentum, enhance your reputation as someone who always gives great advice. Tell friends and colleagues about the quiet vacation movement, and don’t be surprised if you’re proclaimed the most popular trend tracker in your crowd!
