dude, eating good food with others and travelling really are experiences. No branding is necessary.
they are consumer goods like any other.
you can cook a meal at home and travel locally. but few are interested in this because it is not a 'display of wealth', the way your week in Bali is or your tiktok dining blog.
Going to Bali- absolutely an experience Going to Bali so you can show off your luxurious lifestyle to your online following - display of wealth.
I'd say it all comes down to your motivations. I think travel can be very rewarding and a chance for growth. I also don't have any social media and I don't really care what people think of me outside of my family and a few close friends.
Yeah, but no one had to "rebrand" anything. They have always been experiences.
