Signal Connectivity-free stays sold as a travel product

Summary

This signal concerns travel organisers and hotels offering digital detox retreats. Travellers choose environments that are deliberately free from internet access. Sitra cites a New York Times travel article from January 2025 describing the growing allure of digital detoxing. The absence of a network becomes the very feature a traveller pays for. It reflects rising demand for respite from constant connectivity. Sitra uses it as a signal behind an imagined 2046 magazine rail column that expects digital peace and nostalgia to become key selling points of tourism.
