India, June 18 -- Slow tourism is picking up momentum as travellers prioritise sustainable travel practices over the typical holiday experience. As per Mize, the slow travel market is projected to make over $335 billion by 2027. As the landscape evolves, so does the lingo. The latest travel term? Land snorkelling.

'Land snorkelling' was coined by American artists Clyde Aspevig and Carol Guzman, during a hike. According to Carol, slowing down reminded them of the quietness of snorkelling underwater.

"The first time I tried land snorkelling, I was in Chikmagalur," says Nishant Sharma, head of marketing at JustWravel, adding, "I realised I was missing so much by always rushing through hikes."
