SNAIL GIRL ERA, SLEEP TOURISM, OR bleisure travel, this year has been a big brew of some of the snazziest buzzwords in travel. With multiple new trends sprouting up, thanks to travel aggregators, TikTok and other social media apps, travellers are inclined towards specific wandering patterns.
According to the latest travel trends report, Unpack '24, by online travel booking giant Expedia, trends like "set-jetting" or planning trips inspired by movies and television shows will continue to see a rise in the coming year. Search aggregator Skyscanner, in its latest Travel Trends 2024 report, states that Indians are inspired to visit places like Manali and Ladakh, having been influenced by Bollywood films such as "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" and "3 Idiots," which are shot at these places, respectively.
The TikTok-inspired trend of "dupes" or affordable alternatives to popular destinations will also see an uptick in the coming year. Live music tourism is another phenomenon, with Expedia predicting a "tour tourism" encore in 2024. Almost 70 per cent of travellers who voted said they were willing to attend a concert outside their hometown, and 40 per cent claimed they would travel to a new city for a gig.
Here are some of the latest trends that are expected to pick up in the coming year.
TECH-DRIVEN TRAVELLING
With Al-generative travel taking the world by storm, tech-driven travel is only expected to soar further. Multiple apps are helping millions of travellers plan their dream vacations. With services such as customised itineraries, finding companions, and even eating at the homes of locals for an authentic experience, these new applications are changing the way we travel.
One such app is NomadHer, a global women's travel community app.
