Dreamers, explorers, globetrotters, serial travelers, the year is about to end! Whatever type of traveler you are, you absolutely must know these seven trends that will dictate the way we travel in 2025!
Detour Destinations
It is the trend of traveling for those who are not satisfied with the “usual” destinations. It’s for those who are looking for something special and out of the ordinary. For those who choose lesser-known but no less interesting destinations!
Paris, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Tokyo, Dubai for example are too expensive?! So we travel to Reims, Santa Barbara, Girona, Fukoka and Abu Dhabi which have nothing to envy of other cities!
Foodcation
It is the trend that has as the protagonist of the trip an experience linked to local food, traditions and recipes of the destination visited. Food becomes the fulcrum around which the entire vacation is structured, from food and wine tours, such as the coffee tour in Costa Rica or the matcha experience in Japan to name a few, including souvenirs to take home.
The products that are given as gifts or purchased for oneself are the result of research that goes from artisan workshops to market stalls to food stores where one goes hunting for typical local delicacies.
#travelupdate 2025: from FOMO to JOMO
If one of the post-pandemic trends was Fomo (the fear of missing out), now we are seeing a reversal of the trend: we are moving to Jomo (the joy of missing out). The frenetic life and tight rhythms mean that the dream of many travellers is to dedicate themselves solely to relaxation, to reconnect with themselves and reduce stress. The Jomo style trend puts an isolated accommodation at the centre of the holiday such as a Lodge, a chalet, a villa with a swimming pool and spa, where you can take off your watch and lose track of time.
Nature Lovers
To put it in “natural” terms, a holiday in contact with nature is an “evergreen”! Observing the stars in the desert, the Northern Lights, the hatching of sea turtles, geysers and so on, are unique and unrepeatable experiences that create a deep connection between the planet and the traveler. The trend linked to this attitude is the search for accommodations that allow you to get in touch or as close as possible to the place where natural phenomena occur.
#travelupdate 2025: Workation
It is not a real vacation but a combination of vacation and work. A sort of search for well-being that also involves the work dimension. In fact, periods of work are planned in places that you intend to explore during your free time. Feeling good in the workplace is an urgent need and the possibility of working remotely is redefining the concept of travel.
Set-jetting
This is a trend that has its roots in 2023 and is consolidating. Set-jetting concerns all those travelers who follow in the footsteps of the protagonists of their favorite series or films. In 2024, “Emily in Paris” was in first place, while according to the data. In 2025 the protagonist of series-related trips will be Dubai thanks to the series “The Real Housewives of Dubai”. The United Kingdom remains an unbeatable stop with hundreds of themed tours involving Bridgerton, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and Outlander.
#travelupdate 2025: Hôtellerie
2025 trends in the hospitality sector regarding hotel services. Starting with the all-inclusive, now also requested by the youngest, which makes a stay less stressful. The comfort of the room is important but above all the experiences that the structure can offer. It includes dining experiences, rooftop bars where you can have an aperitif and a series of exclusive services reserved only for guests of the structure, who in this way feel privileged.
