Travel Trends for 2025: What You Need to Know

As we approach 2025, the world of travel continues to evolve.

From sustainability to luxury bespoke experiences, here are the key trends that will shape how we travel in the coming year. Whether you're planning your next getaway or looking for inspiration, these trends are set to guide your travel choices in 2025.

The demand for sustainable travel is stronger than ever. According to a recent report, 73% of global travellers say they would be more likely to book with a travel brand that actively works to reduce its environmental impact. As more people become aware of their environmental footprint, eco-conscious travellers will continue to seek out ways to make their holidays greener. This includes staying at environmentally friendly hotels, choosing eco-tours, and opting for carbon-neutral flights.

Sustainability doesn't just stop at reducing emissions—travellers are also increasingly choosing destinations that promote conservation and wildlife protection. In 2025, the trend toward responsible travel will not only grow but will become a deciding factor for many when selecting their next holiday.

At Not Just Travel, we're committed to giving back. With every holiday you book, you can support our Positive Impact Project—helping local communities and protecting the planet. Ask your Travel Consultant for more information on how your next trip can contribute to making a positive difference.

Forget the mass-market packages—2025 is all about bespoke, luxury experiences. According to a 2024 Global Travel Report, 64% of luxury travellers now prefer tailor-made itineraries that offer a combination of relaxation, adventure, and exclusive access to unique experiences. Private villas, personalised tours, and customised packages will be in high demand as travellers look for holidays that truly reflect their personal tastes and preferences.

Whether it’s a secluded beach escape, a private guided cultural tour, or a luxury cruise, bespoke travel experiences offer unparalleled comfort and style, making them the ultimate choice for those looking to treat themselves in 2025.

As wellness continues to be a central focus for many, 2025 will see even more travellers choosing destinations that support both their mental and physical health. A 2019 study found that 62% of travellers would choose a destination that offers wellness and health benefits over others. Wellness retreats, spa escapes, and yoga holidays will be popular choices for those looking to unwind, relax, and rejuvenate.

In addition to traditional wellness offerings, many destinations will integrate wellness experiences into cultural and adventure travel, providing holistic options that allow travellers to connect with both themselves and the environment around them.

In 2025, travellers will look beyond traditional sightseeing and dive into deeper, more immersive travel experiences. According to a 2023 survey by Booking.com, 50% of travellers now seek "experiential" travel, where the focus is on the experience rather than simply visiting a destination. Whether it’s climbing new peaks, exploring remote corners of the world, or engaging with local cultures in authentic ways, adventure travel is becoming about meaningful connections and extraordinary experiences.

Thrill-seekers will increasingly opt for destinations and activities that push boundaries—think extreme sports, once-in-a-lifetime cultural immersions, and off-the-beaten-path explorations that bring a sense of discovery and excitement.

Family holidays will no longer be just about parents and kids. In 2025, the trend towards multi-generational travel will continue, with families booking holidays that cater to everyone, from toddlers to grandparents. In fact, a 2023 Family Travel Survey revealed that 56% of families plan to take multi-generational trips in the next year. These trips are all about creating lasting memories across generations, and destinations will rise to the occasion by offering activities and experiences suitable for all ages.

Whether it’s a beach resort with kid-friendly activities or a luxury cruise that offers both relaxation for adults and adventure for children, multi-generational travel will be about quality time and unforgettable experiences for everyone.

The rise of remote work has brought a significant shift in how we travel. According to a 2024 study by MBO Partners, 23% of U.S. workers are considered digital nomads, a trend that's spreading globally. More people are embracing the digital nomad lifestyle, combining work and travel to create a life of flexibility and freedom. In 2025, destinations that offer reliable internet, comfortable working conditions, and a good quality of life will be top of mind for digital nomads.

These travellers are not just looking for a place to stay—they want vibrant communities, enriching experiences, and the freedom to explore while still staying connected. From co-working spaces in tropical locales to long-term stays in bustling cities, the digital nomad trend will continue to thrive in 2025.

Whether you're seeking a sustainable escape, a luxury tailor-made journey, or an adventure-packed holiday, 2025 promises to be an exciting year for travel. If you're ready to explore the trends shaping the future of travel, we're here to help you plan a holiday that fits your unique needs and desires.
