7 Travel Trends That Will Define 2026

2026 is expected to be defined by seven key travel trends. The first is the need for peace and disconnection, with trips focused on comfort and avoiding digital noise. Artificial intelligence will play a significant role in trip planning and booking, offering convenience but also potential side effects such as overtourism and online fraud. There will also be a growing trend of travelers leaving decisions in the hands of others, to avoid fatigue from constant choices. Other trends include a desire for authentic experiences, a focus on sustainability, a search for luxury and personalized services, and a return to slower, more relaxing travel.
