Whether you travel often, or you are just planning a holiday for you and your family, keeping up with the latest trends in travel will help to make your upcoming holiday your best trip ever. If you are undecided about your next holiday destination, keep reading to see some of the hottest travel trends that will shape 2019. Let’s take a look:
6 Travel Trends To Look For In 2019
Choosing Experiences Over Sights- travel used to be about seeing everything you can see and taking pictures of famous sights all over the world. Today, more travellers are choosing experiences over sights. In fact, almost 70% of modern travellers are saying that the experience is why they chose their travel destination in the first place.
Sustainable Tourism- traveling with a conscience is becoming more and more important to today’s travellers. From choosing sustainable tour operators and travel companies, to making a point of selecting their destinations based on sustainable projects in the region that they can become a part of.
Year Round Travel- another trend that we are seeing becoming more and more popular is year round travel. As busy tourist seasons tend to make people avoid travelling to certain destinations, travellers are finding that off season travel is just as, if not more, enjoyable. Rates are often cheaper and there are fewer crowds during the off season as well.
Exploring Less-Traveled Countries- there are many up and coming destinations all over the world that are still unexplored by even the most experienced travellers. Many Eastern European countries are becoming increasingly popular for 2019 and rates for travel and accommodations are still affordable.
Seeking Out New Cultures- as part of the sustainable travel trend, travellers are learning about new cultures in economically developing areas of the world. This has made many travellers want to learn more by immersing themselves in these cultures while on holiday.
Social Media Authenticity- with more and more people trusting social media for ‘actual experience’ information, we are seeing a trend towards using social media to learn about travel destinations, sustainability projects around the world and to read travel reviews from people who have just returned from a potential travel destination that we are considering. From social media and travel blogs, we are gaining valuable insight into the world of travel and finding new destinations that might become our next holiday.
