Travel trends for 2024

Where is this year taking you?

As the world beckons tourists of all ages to get out and explore, the projected trends for 2024 reveal a growing diversity of focus while also showing creative methodologies towards how, when and where to travel.

Travelling outside the box

From retreats that enrich one’s physical and mental wellbeing to adventurous eco-tourism that promote conservation and even off-the-grid experiences, all ages are seeking life-defining, experience-driven destinations. They’re making memories that will last throughout their lives.

The responsible nomad

An increase in “off the grid” destinations promoting conservation efforts has been detected recently within the travel industry.

Travelers are fully embracing eco-friendly accommodations and carbon-neutral transportation by choosing places like Costa Rica, Ecuador, New Zealand and the Galapagos Islands where they can experience smaller crowds amid inspiring local communities.

The tranquil traveler

The inclination to regenerate body and soul leads to luxurious spa retreats, meditation centres and nature-focused getaways. One of the most important missions is reported to be recharging and reconnecting with natural sleep patterns.

The rule changer

Traditionally, travelers opted for mid-winter southern sojourns and summertime family vacations, but finding less crowding and better pricing during shoulder seasons is becoming a highly desirable thing.

This year’s hot destinations for Canadians could find you in Italy and Portugal. Whether wineries and pasta are your thing, or you prefer fado and tapas, the locals always welcome and appreciate the support for local businesses and culture all year long.

The solitary sightseer

Solo or small group travel has its benefits, as well. CAA Travel has launched their all-new group departures – Together. Groups by CAA Travel with you in mind.
