Breaking Travel Trends for 2025 and Beyond

The way that people travel- and where they travel to is constantly changing. Whether you want to go with the flow and keep up with the latest influencers, or you live in a tourist destination yourself and are curious about what is happening within your industry, here are some of the top breaking travel trends of 2025 and beyond. 

• Weather Has a Greater Influence

No one likes to go on vacation only to find themselves in the middle of extreme weather- or even a natural disaster. Even if nothing dramatic happens on your vacation, it is unlikely that you will want to spend the whole trip dripping in sweat and suffering from heatstroke or getting frostbite in your fingers. 

Now that global warming is starting to have an impact on climates, creating more defined extremes, more travelers are now judging their trips on the weather reports from the countries in question, rather than what is there. They might start to look for more temperate countries, or visit them out of season. 

• Staycations Are Becoming More Popular 

The cost-of-living is impacting everyone, and this is making it harder for people to spend so much on traveling far and wide. Rather than visiting Europe, Africa, or Asia, American travelers, and those around the globe, are staying home, preferring to spend their vacation time either going on day trips from the comfort of their abode or going on short trips in their home countries. These staycations can allow you to see your country in-depth and explore parts of it that you might never have seen before, while saving money on flights and travel insurance. 

• Luxury Travel is a Must 

If you are heading outside of the US, though, luxury travel is more likely to be on your bucket list. Camping is no longer the height of luxury. Instead, people are looking for more upmarket travel experiences that can help them to relax away from the stresses and pressures of their daily lives.

 If they are paying out on their trip already, why not pay out a little extra and make it a trip to remember? For instance, you might decide to go on a tour around a foreign country that is steeped in luxury travel, finding you the best guides, accommodation, and dining places without you having to lift a finger. If this sounds perfect for you, you might explore Peru with Kuoda Travel, which recently won a TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Award. This can also help you to explore with confidence and security after the US’s recent travel updates.

• People Are Looking for Aesthetic Vacations

Not only this, but since the age of Instagram, people are increasingly looking for aesthetically pleasing vacations so that they can copy their favorite influencers or fill up their social media feeds with stunning imagery themselves. However, these vacations are not always the best ones out there. After all, anyone can stage a mesmerising photo, but that does not mean that the rest of the destination is as pristine and perfect as it looks online. It is then important to do your research before heading somewhere yourself.
