Not that we do not have enough subareas in tourism (e.g eco-tourism, dark tourism etc.) a new term was raised to me today that I had never heard of previously, babymoon.
A babymoon started off as a couple travelling shortly after the birth of a little one as sort of a bonding experience. The term has since evolved to mean a trip taken shortly before the little one is born as a last hurrah for the parents. A last chance for the couple to bond before the little one arrives. The term has also been used to describe a trip in which a couple has decided to try to start a family while on said trip. Does this count as a well conceived conception?
This seems like an interesting phenomenon. Has anyone out there taken a babymoon or would like to? What would be the motivation for such a trip? Do you think this trip is more for the man or for the woman? This is such an interesting type of travel and I would love to learn more about it. For my industry colleagues out there, has this ever been a market for you? Fascinating indeed.
Can't say that I've ever heard of a babymoon...
