Discover a few of the latest travel trends! From sustainable tourism to digital detox getaways, 2024 is all about unique and mindful travel experiences. ⬇️
1 // GO-CASSIONS 🏝
From relationship milestones to a pet’s birthday, travelers do not need help finding a reason to celebrate - no matter how big or small. @expedia shared that “new research by @vrbo* has uncovered an emerging trend for 2024: the “Go-ccasion,” revealing that one in four people are looking for any excuse to take a trip with friends or family.”
2 // TOUR TOURISM 🎶
As live music continues to resurge after the pandemic, travelers are booking their trips around artist tours.
“With the wild demand for concert tickets, fans are making savvy financial choices by choosing shows that are off the beaten path for concerts,” says Melanie Fish, chief trend tracker for Expedia Brands. “Almost 70%* of those surveyed say they are more likely than ever to travel to a concert outside their hometown, while 44%* would travel to take in a concert as an excuse to visit a new destination.”
3 // DESTINATION DUPES 🌏
We’ve talked about this before but destination dupes are more affordable options for those looking to travel around the world encouraging travelers to branch outside of your typical “hotspots” that have risen in price and tourist traffic.
Same beauty & cultural experience, but make it budget-friendly.
4 // DRY TRIPPING 🍸
Wellness and sustainable options during travel mean more to vacationers than ever before with “dry tripping” at the top of the trends list. Seeking destinations and experiences that aren’t centered around drinking.
Mocktails are also making more appearances on menus with a surprising stat by Expedia stating nearly half of travelers “say(ing) they would be interested in staying at a hotel that offers easily accessible alcohol-free options like mocktails or nonalcoholic beer.”
Where will your next adventure take you?
