Arabic translation:سياحة الرتحال التقليدي و الترحال الوافر
Explanation:
"Flashpacking is a neologism used to refer to an affluent backpacker. Whereas backpacking is traditionally associated with budget travel and destinations that are relatively cheap, flashpacking has an association of more disposable income while traveling and has been defined simply as backpacking with a bigger budget. The origin of the term itself is obscure."
