Travel trends for summer 2024

Summer is finally here, and with it comes a number of exciting travel trends that shape the way we explore the world. From sustainable choices to unique experiences, here are the 10 most prominent trends for this summer.

Travel Trend 1: Slow Travel
Instead of seeing as much as possible in a short time is 'Slow Travel' The new trend. Here you take more time to explore a destination, with longer stays in one place and less haste. This way you can really experience the culture of a country in an authentic way, and you also get the opportunity to relax. Slow travel; It's about enjoying the journey at a slower pace, focusing on quality rather than quantity.

Travel Trend 2: Culinary Travel
Can you imagine sitting at a long table on an Italian agriturismo, enjoy a freshly made meal with a delicious glass of wine from the local wine farmer?
Food is a big part of the travel experience, and culinary journeys are becoming increasingly popular. Destinations known for their rich food culture, such as Italy and France, attract travelers who want to experience local dishes, visit markets and attend cooking courses. Did you know that we are always looking for the best restaurants on all my holidays? Of course, we are happy to share these restaurant tips with you!

Travel Trend 3: Away from the mass tourism
More and more are applying away from the crowded tourist areas in favor of more authentic experiences. Think of hidden pearls and lesser -known destinations, where you can still experience the authentic, away from the tourist traps. Destinations that are still relatively undiscovered, such as some regions of southern Europe, offer unique experiences without the large crowds. Take a look at our recommended places.

Travel Trend 4: New destinations and TIKTOK influence
Tiktok and other social media have a great influence on the choice of destinations. Destinations such as Albania and Montenegro, which are often highlighted on social media, see an increase in popularity. These countries offer beautiful landscapes and authentic experiences at reasonable prices.

Travel Trend 5: Digital Detox holidays
In an increasingly digital world, many are looking for holidays where they can relax from the technology. Digital Detox holidays, where you are deliberately avoiding digital devices, are becoming increasingly popular. Think of destinations without wifi and with limited mobile coverage to achieve complete calm and relaxation.

Travel Trend 6: Sustainability
Sustainable travel is more than a trend; It is a necessity. Environmental awareness plays an increasing role in the choice of destinations and accommodations. Travelers are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of tourism and choosing greener means of transport and environmentally friendly accommodations. Train journeys, eco-hotels and activities that support local communities are the focus.

Travel Trend 7: Workations
If you kan work from anywhere and, like me, likes to travel, "workations" become a perfect combination of work and vacation. The name "Workation" says it all: More and more people are choosing to both work and enjoy a holiday at their destination. The places you can stay at during a workation are equipped with everyone (digital) comforts, and after the work day you can take a dip in the pool or eat in a cozy, nearby city. The perfect way to maintain a good balance between work and leisure!

Travel Trend 8: Wellness holidays
Yoga, ice bath, mindfulness ... These have become indispensable in our society. Now we see that this trend also affects travel. Travelers seek destinations that offer wellness services and activities. Think of yoga, meditation and spa treatments. 

Travel Trend 9: Weekend trips
Short trips and weekend trips are becoming increasingly popular, as many try to get away from everyday stress more often. Did you know that if you spend your vacation days smart, can you actually double them? We have gathered the most beautiful places for a weekend trip for you.

Families more often want to travel together. With grandparents, parents and children together on adventures and creating memories.
