What happened

More people are seeking experiential and retreat-based travel – creative holidays do both, and there are trips to suit all palettes.

Why it matters

‘What landscapes have you been immersed in this week?’ asks my watercolour teacher at the start of every session.

Common ground

She’s made me want to seek out scenic views, and to look further afield, too – for bragging rights at my weekly art class, yes, but also for inspiration.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
