Why travelling connects
Over the centuries, the possibilities for travelling developed further, especially in the 19th century with the advent of the railway. Suddenly, people were able to travel long distances to see their loved ones and share unforgettable moments together. Travelling became a necessity, not only because it was an exciting way to discover new things. It also gave people the opportunity for encounters, whether meeting up with family, reuniting in long-distance relationships or discovering new places and cultures.
Nowadays, millions of people around the world travel during the festive season.
In many cultures, specific customs have developed around travelling at Christmas. In Germany, for example, families from all over the world flock together to celebrate Christmas Eve.
Because every journey is more than just a distance - it is an expression of anticipation and togetherness.
