2025 is the year to rediscover the world—to venture further, dream bigger, and make every journey unforgettable. We’re passionate about travel and here to inspire your wanderlust with ABTA’s Top 5 Travel Trends shaping the year ahead. Get ready to embrace the extraordinary as we explore new horizons, elevated stays, and unforgettable experiences.
This year, long-haul travel is making a bold comeback. Travellers are seeking out far-flung, less familiar destinations—places that promise not just a trip but a transformation. Picture yourself sipping coffee in a bustling market in Colombia, marvelling at the cherry blossoms in Japan, or exploring the pristine beaches of Fiji. These destinations promise to take you beyond the ordinary and into the extraordinary.
Why It’s Trending: After years of prioritising closer-to-home travel, adventurers are ready to reconnect with the thrill of exploring distant lands. Long-haul travel offers a chance to immerse yourself in diverse cultures, cuisines, and landscapes that redefine what it means to “get away.”
2025 is the year to treat yourself. More travellers are opting for five-star stays that go beyond mere accommodation to offer indulgent, personalised experiences. Whether it’s a luxury safari lodge in Africa or a chic overwater villa in the Maldives, the focus is on making every moment unforgettable.
Why It’s Trending: Travellers are embracing the idea that holidays are an investment in self-care and memories. With unparalleled service, world-class dining, and breathtaking settings, five-star stays ensure your holiday is as rejuvenating as it is inspiring.
Reignite the romance with a couples-only getaway. Adult-only escapes are seeing a resurgence as partners seek to reconnect, unwind, and create cherished memories together. Think candlelit dinners on a beach in Greece, thrilling adventures in New Zealand, or cosy cabin retreats in Scandinavia.
Why It’s Trending: In our busy lives, making time for meaningful connection has never been more important. A couples’ escape offers the perfect opportunity to focus on each other and share new experiences that strengthen your bond.
Winter travel is no longer just about escaping the cold; it’s about embracing it. From chasing the Northern Lights in Iceland to sledding with huskies in Lapland, winter breaks are becoming synonymous with unique, bucket-list experiences.
Why It’s Trending: Travellers are increasingly seeking out trips that offer memorable stories and once-in-a-lifetime moments. Whether it’s skiing in the Alps or soaking in a hot spring surrounded by snow, winter adventures promise an unforgettable escape from the mundane.
Where do you find your travel inspiration? In 2025, it’s a tale of two extremes. While traditional sources like travel magazines and word-of-mouth recommendations remain strong, tech-savvy adventurers are turning to social media and virtual reality to dream up their next escape.
Why It’s Trending: The diverse ways we seek inspiration reflect the richness of modern travel. Whether you’re flipping through glossy pages or exploring destinations through VR, the joy of planning your next adventure is evolving in exciting ways.
No matter what inspires your next journey, 2025 is brimming with opportunities to explore, indulge, and connect. Let us help you make it a year to remember with curated experiences and exclusive deals that bring these trends to life.
