A new year starts with resolutions, plans, goals, and optimism. This marks the beginning of a new journey filled with anticipated thoughts, aspirations, and a penchant to explore the world. With every passing year, travel trends transition too. How globetrotters plan to travel this year will surely be different compared to the last couple of years’ experiences. A recently released report highlights interesting facts about the ‘Staying Away Longer’ concept, a huge travel trend in 2025. It is a sneak peek at how tourists will spend the year visiting destinations worldwide.
Travellers Choose ‘Staying Away Longer’ Instead Of Short Trips
Gone are those days when holidays were about ticking off every location and experience from itineraries. Many travellers now prefer relaxing and soaking in serenity rather than heading to bustling tourist spots throughout the day. Skift Research’s 2025 Travel Outlook report revealed that this year will become the year of staying away longer.
The most fascinating travel trend to explore this year is the approach to slow down, unwind, live in the moment, and enjoy where you are to the fullest. Travellers are more inclined to ease down on holidays and plan longer vacations instead of travelling to many destinations.
Many travel enthusiasts are ready to spend more days holidaying in one destination rather than visiting several places in just a few days. That’s quite a transition, right? Considering people’s busy lives and strenuous corporate jobs, they are excitedly awaiting to plan leaves accordingly and immerse in nature’s serenity.
Not only travellers are enjoying more time in a new destination, trying new experiences, and indulging in tranquil and fascinating experiences but they are also spending more days away from the daily hustle, busy lifestyles, and long working hours.
A Noticeable Uptick Is Anticipated
2025 is likely to witness significant growth in the tourism industry. The report emphasises that many travel firms are looking at a surge in booking more holidays by 24 per cent in comparison to last year. We are fascinated to see how tourists immerse themselves in long vacations in 2025 as Skift Research’s 2025 Travel Outlook report called this year ‘the year of long getaways’.
