A new study ranks Nepal, followed by Morocco and Costa Rica, as the top countries for those exploring 'alcohol-free' and 'sober curious' trips.
Years ago, the manager of a hotel in Koh Samui, Thailand told me about an unusual booking that he once received during the middle of the night.
A former heavy drinker based in Asia, who asked to remain anonymous to protect his identity at work, told CNBC Travel that a sober lifestyle is like having a "superpower," citing business trips where colleagues would struggle to get out of bed, long after he had exercised and returned emails to clients.The "sober curious" trend has also led to a proliferation of non-alcoholic spirits, beer and cocktails popping up on bar and restaurant menus around the world.
Sober-curious travel has its fair share of detractors too though. Sentiment in the past year shows that among social media interactions 32% is positive, 38% is neutral and 30% is negative.For those looking to cut back — or cut alcohol completely — on vacation, some destinations may make this effort easier than others, according to a new ranking by the insurance agency InsureMyTrip.
Morocco ranked No. 2, buoyed by the scant drinking culture of its Sunni Muslim population. "It also has high ratings for its national parks , with many wildlife areas and gorgeous treks to enjoy," the report stated.
