It's still a niche trend, but maybe not for long: Younger travelers are increasingly seeking out alcohol-free tours. The rise of tour options for sober and sober-curious travelers comes as more people are cutting back on booze -- or eliminating it altogether.
In this episode we're examining the trend with Heather Leisman, the president of EF Ultimate Break, and tours editor Brinley Hineman. Among our topics today: What is sober curious travel, whether zero-proof and mocktail culture have contributed to the trend, what's the vibe on a sober tour and how travel options can be expanded for those living the sober lifestyle.
