The hottest travel trends in 2024
1. Travel destinations in Europe - sustainable travel
Sustainability is increasingly becoming the focus of travellers and is becoming a decisive factor when choosing a holiday destination. This year, holidaymakers are attaching more importance to environmentally friendly destinations and sustainable travel options. Destinations such as Albania, the country known for its unspoilt nature and environmentally conscious approach, are currently attracting more eco-minded travellers than ever before – proof that sustainable travel is no longer an insider tip. This contrasts with 2023, when yachts and cruise ships were particularly in demand, showing how quickly travellers’ preferences are shifting towards more environmentally friendly alternatives.

The Turkish Riviera, an established favourite, remains a perennial favourite and continues to enjoy great popularity, offering a unique travel experience with cultural richness and natural beauty.
3. Particularly popular: active holidays and safaris
Active holidays are also a top trend this year and are becoming increasingly popular. Travellers are looking for adventures and unforgettable experiences, be it diving in the deep blue sea off Marsa Alam, hiking through green tea plantations or exploring secluded beaches away from the crowds. Safaris in remote regions are also very much in vogue and offer the unique opportunity to experience the fascinating animal world up close.
4. Workation and individual travel will be particularly popular in 2024
The trend towards workation, a combination of work and holiday, continues in 2024 and is becoming increasingly popular. More and more people are taking the opportunity to relocate their work to new places and explore the world at the same time. Individual holidays, which are known for their flexibility and customised travel experiences, are also gaining in importance. These types of travel offer holidaymakers the opportunity to design their own adventures and confirm the ongoing trend of travellers seeking tailor-made experiences year after year.
