Travel Trends For 2024

2024 travel trends are developing rapidly. Whether it’s to disconnect, find a destination off the beaten track, embark on a gastronomic journey or spend your vacation dedicated to self-giving… Ways of traveling have become more and more diversified in recent years. And this will be even more the case in 2024.

Travel Trends For 2024

The days of going to a travel agency to book standard package holidays are largely gone. Today, tourists want trips that are personalized according to their tastes, and which will show off on their Instagram account. The travel trends of 2024 will not necessarily dry up your finances: there is something for all budgets

–Responsible Traveling

Traveling to a destination to help native people is not a new phenomenon. Some people are willing to donate their time off for lots of good causes. But today, another trend is developing, namely responsible travel, which brings added value to the local population. This may simply involve different consumption habits.

For example, eating in small family restaurants instead of chains. Or take a guest room instead of booking at the big local hotel. This responsible way of traveling can also be combined with volunteering on site. The environmental impact of the selected establishment can also be taken into account, more and more booking sites are mentioning this.

–Eco-responsible Travel

Inspired by activists like Greta Thunberg, more and more tourists are considering their carbon footprint when traveling. This can take many forms: choosing the train instead of the plane, using public transport common rather than taxis, rent an electric car, etc. This is especially feasible in Europe and Asia, where such ecological mobility solutions exist. And if this interests you, read our article on the best destinations for ecotourism to find great ideas!

–Tourism off the beaten path

Traveling to hot destinations like New York City or Venice is so 2023. Today, travelers are heading to places that don’t usually appear on tourists’ radars. This makes it possible to reduce tourist pressure on the most popular places, to visit places far from the hustle and bustle and to make sometimes surprising discoveries.

With this mindset, you can visit Laos or Cambodia instead of Thailand, Greenland instead of Iceland. In the United States, visits to New York or Los Angeles will be replaced by those to Chicago or Detroit. For those who have already seen it all, this is a great way to broaden your horizons.

–“Boutique” Cruises

The term boutique, which most often describes a hotel of modest size but with luxury services, now applies to cruises. If you enjoy this type of travel, you no longer have to board a huge liner. Some companies, like Virgin, offer adults-only boutique cruises with unusual itineraries, beautiful cabins, top-notch cuisine, and more. And it is increasingly a fashionable destination in 2024.

–Gastronomic Travels

How then ? Doesn’t everyone choose their destination based on their culinary tastes? It is indeed an increasingly popular trend. The trip allows you to discover not only a culture, landscapes, but also a culinary tradition. This type of trip can be done anywhere in the world. In Italy, where you can learn to make homemade pasta with a real nonna as a teacher, or via a trip to China to taste the countless specialties of this country.

–The minimalist digital detox holiday

Of course, everyone appreciates a good stay in a luxury hotel. But spending the weekend in a yurt without electricity is a much more enriching experience. We are invaded by consumerism and digital technology, sometimes a little without our knowing it. This is why some travelers choose stays that allow them to carry out a sort of digital detoxification. Far from the Internet and social networks, you can truly enjoy your trip, as well as refocus on yourself. Physical comfort will probably suffer… but serenity is at that price! This way of traveling has convinced many fans of minimalism.

–“Nostalgic” Tourism

According to Booking.com’s 2024 Travel Trends report, many tourists are planning at least one trip to satisfy their desire to revisit a special place they know. It may be the same place, or the same villa that they rented. Or simply to stay near a destination with a high sentimental character (place of birth, place where you spent your honeymoon, etc.).

–Travels in the footsteps of ancestors

Thanks to the democratization of DNA tests that can be done at home, there is a growing interest in traveling to the countries or continents of one’s ancestors. After taking such a test, you may have discovered that you have Irish or Filipino roots… No matter where your ancestors come from, you will probably be curious to know where they lived.

–Stays focused on Well-being

Is your job getting on your nerves? You are probably one of the travelers looking to improve your physical and mental well-being while on vacation. In 2024, we see an increase in wellness-focused travel. Yoga retreats, stays focused on treatments (spa, thalassotherapy, etc.) and culinary experiences prioritizing tranquility, for example. Hotels and resorts are also starting to offer wellness packages that include activities such as meditation classes, dietary advice and personal development sessions.

In addition, hotels arrange their spaces to promote relaxation and tranquility. Lush gardens, meditation spaces and soundproofed rooms appear for 100% zen stays. In some establishments, they even go so far as to ban children to guarantee the calm of customers.
