Travel better and feel happy with HI
Did you know that countries that score highest on the world’s wellbeing scale are also the most peaceful?
There is no doubt that peace and wellbeing are intrinsically linked and this year we celebrate the UN International Day of Peace by remembering the happiness, peace, and wellbeing that travel can bring.
The last year has been challenging for all of us, now as we are on the road to recovery, we want to take this opportunity to celebrate peace, diversity and tolerance, and the happiness that comes through connecting with others and sharing happy memories.
