While the economy may have encouraged more stay-cations in previous years, it’s safe to say the travel bug is hitting Americans again. With increased travel spending in 2015, this trend is certainly anticipated to continue. See what else is trending in travel for the New Year»
Home rentals are surging. Partially due to increased hotel prices and partially due to the rise of AirBnB- vacation rentals are becoming the norm. Travelers are enjoying the additional space and amenities that rentals can provide.
Better deals on transportation. With gas prices low, more travelers are hitting the roads to their destinations. Airlines too have lower prices on some routes due to decreased jet fuel costs.
People are traveling for “wellness” reasons. According to TripBarometer - the world’s largest traveler and accommodation survey - travelers are spending far more than they have in the past. The reason? Because they believe themselves, or their families, deserve it. Others feel travel is important for their health and well-being. Travelers are shifting their mindset to visit locations they believe will add to their mental and/or physical well being.
The want for local experiences. Travelers and travel companies alike are shifting their focus to unique experiences. More and more, travelers are looking to experience a destination through the eyes of a local - in addition or over visiting tourist attractions. Travel start ups like EatWith.com and OneFineStay.com hope to satisfy more of this need.
Pop culture tourism. TV and movies are playing a larger role in traveler’s destination choices. Whether it’s visiting Norway to imagine Disney’s Frozen in real life; Northern Ireland, Croatia, and Iceland to see Game of Thrones’ Westeros; or a pilgrimage to New Zealand to follow the Hobbit Trail - European travel is increasing. With the dollar still relatively strong against the continent’s currency and some great layover travel options (looking at you, Icelandair), we expect this trend to continue.
