Added to this is the fact that the set-jetting phenomenon, the trend of traveling to destinations featured in movies or TV shows, is becoming increasingly popular among the travel community. Tui Musement has compiled some suggestions for those who want to explore this universe in real life and feel like a paleontologist.
Coming face to face with a T-Rex, walking among ancient footprints, or exploring landscapes reminiscent of the Jurassic period are just some of the adventures available worldwide.
