As countries reopen their borders, or even national landmarks reopen to tourists, a new buzz phrase has emerged on social media: “revenge travel”.

The revenge trip originated in 2021, when the world started to reopen and people decided to make up for “lost time”. And there are many good reasons for this, including buy wines and other discounted products outside our country.
