As 2023 draws to a close, travel giants Expedia<\/em>, Abritel<\/em> and Hotels.com<\/em> are scrutinizing past trends. They’re ready to outline key travel trends<\/a> for 2024. Insights from internal data and a thousand-traveler survey reveal eight trends. These new phenomena look set to shape the travel landscape<\/a> in 2024.<\/span> <\/i><\/p>\n

“We see travel in 2024 defined by detox breaks, concert tourism featuring stars like Taylor Swift or Beyonc\u00e9, and a surge in vacation<\/a> rentals,” <\/span><\/i>says Jon Gieselman, <\/span>Expedia Brands<\/span><\/i>\u2019 president. <\/span>“All these trends will create memorable family time,” <\/span><\/i>he adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are these eight ‘dupe’ destinations for 2024?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just as in 2023, films and series keep influencing travelers’ desires. Over half of French individuals aged 18-44 admit to researching or booking trips based on TV and film locations. Indeed, 51% have already done so, and 35% believe TV series and films significantly influence their travel plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pop culture lovers headed to Romania after Netflix released <\/span>\u201cWednesday.\u201d <\/span><\/i>Similarly, fans of <\/span>\u201cEmily in Paris\u201d <\/span><\/i>gave themselves a Parisian detour. Chicago also saw a visitor surge thanks to “<\/span>The Bear”‘s<\/span><\/i> premier season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Travelers seeking budget and tranquility are favoring ‘dupe’ destinations. These lesser-known alternatives to bigger cities offer a similar experience at lower costs and fewer crowds. Searches for these spots have surged year-on-year, with the top five witnessing over double the traffic last year:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Taipei <\/b>(alternative for Seoul): +2,786%<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Paros <\/b>(alternative for Santorini): +193%<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Cura\u00e7ao <\/b>(alternative for Saint-Martin): +185%<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Perth <\/b>(alternative for Sydney): +109%<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Liverpool <\/b>(alternative for London): +97%<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Palermo <\/b>(alternative for Lisbon): +89%<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Qu\u00e9bec <\/b>(alternative for Geneva): +60%<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Memphis <\/b>(alternative for Nashville): +16%<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We also witnessed rising interest on <\/span>Expedia.fr<\/span><\/i> in 2023 for these three destinations:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Istria <\/b>(alternative for Dalmatia): +171%<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Bergen <\/b>(alternative for Stockholm): +102%<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Krakow <\/b>(alternative for Prague): +81%<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Music tourisms trend continues, bolstered in 2023 by Taylor Swift’s <\/span>‘Eras’ <\/span><\/i>tour and Beyonc\u00e9’s <\/span>‘Renaissance’ <\/span><\/i>tour, encouraging fans to travel far and wide to attend concerts.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The report also highlighted increased interest in detox vacations, allowing for a break from alcohol and a spotlight on a healthier lifestyle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      When choosing hotels, ambiance is a primary factor for 3\/4 of the French; style-oriented establishments are in vogue. Traveling families and friend groups incline towards holiday rentals with outdoor amenities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Finally, Expedia Group<\/em> suggests that travelers are likely to utilize <\/span>‘generative AI’<\/span><\/i> more heavily in planning their trips. 50% of French people aged between 18-34 view AI as a useful tool for saving planning time and assessing flight options and dupe destinations.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42690,"featured_media":83817,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16,6511],"yoast_head":"\nTop 10 'Dupe' Destinations for 2024:
