In this episode, Enterprise explores how travelling has transformed from a luxury activity into a necessity for self-discovery and personal growth. Based on findings from Klook’s latest Travel Pulse research, key insights from the study reveal that 9 in 10 young travelers can't travel as often as they’d like, 92% experience post-travel blues, and 84% have already planned international trips this year.

To explore these trends, we speak with Sarah Wan, General Manager for Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia at Klook, who shares valuable insights on the intersection of travel, therapy, and personal growth.

We discuss the barriers young travelers face, including time, money, and work, which often lead to “wanderlust frustration”. We also explore the growing influence of social media on travel decisions, with 79% booking experiences based on recommendations rather than personal interests.
