Booking.com recently revealed its list of 2025 travel predictions. Nine distinct trends dominate the 2025 travel scene.
Noctourism

Longevity
Sixty percent of travelers are interested in a longevity retreat, with a focus on wellness activities intended to extend their lifespan.
AI: Alternative Itineraries
With AI fully in the conversation, more than two-thirds of travelers plan to use AI technologies in planning alternative itineraries.
Multigen Megatrips
Older travelers will book the trip of a lifetime for the family instead of saving their money. Grandparents plan to finance the SKI trips (Spending Kids’ Inheritance) for their entire brood.
Updated Guys’ Trips
Guys’ trips will increasingly focus on wellbeing over booze, with male travelers expressing interest in trips geared toward friendship-building.
Ageless Travel
Older travelers show interest in adventurous activities while traveling, from horseback riding and hiking to camping and skydiving.
Neurodivergent Travel

Vintage Vacation
This trend reconsiders how to pack for a trip. More than half of travelers polled said they would buy their vacation wardrobe at a thrift store during their stay.
Destination: Airport
Travelers will consider travel to a destination based on the airport’s offerings. Millennial and Gen Z will fuel this trend.
