🌍 5 main tourism trends of 2024
Over the past couple of years, travelers and tourists have been trying to choose destinations where there is more nature and fewer people nearby. National parks and similar locations were especially popular.
This year, things are starting to change, at least after the WHO officially declared an end to the pandemic. The list of popular destinations included France, Great Britain, Portugal, the USA and Germany. They are on the rise. We have highlighted some of this year’s tourism trends.
Tourists have returned to the cities
Travelers are returning to the urban jungle after Covid-19 restrictions are almost lifted in all countries. Tourists are actively booking trips to Edinburgh, Lisbon, Tokyo, Dublin, New York and other countries this year. So in big cities there will be a lot of crowds and an appropriate atmosphere.
3-star hotels are popular
Inflation is rising, and travelers are trying to resist it. As a result, the number of bookings at 3-star hotels is increasing. Moreover, those that have rooms with a beautiful view are especially popular. Travelers now want the best for less. And yes, the more you save on accommodation, the more distant destinations you can visit.
Renting a home with a kitchen
In addition to mid-range hotels, travelers rent properties with kitchens. This is a good option to save on food while traveling, which usually takes up a significant part of the budget. But it seems this year travelers are ready to skip a couple of restaurants and stand at the stove on their own.
Television tourism
Fans of various TV series and films began to travel to filming locations more often. New York, Paris, New Zealand and the UK are experiencing surges in bookings in certain locations from the most popular shows. So, if you want to get one step closer to the heroes of your favorite TV series, go “to the location.”

Lifehacks with air tickets
Sunday is considered the best day to book a flight to save on flights this year. For maximum benefits, it is worth booking tickets a month in advance for domestic flights and six months in advance for international flights. Of course, this will stop the rise in prices for air tickets, but remember: a penny not only saves the ruble, but also your budget.
