✈️ What are travellers really booking right now?
New data from Travel Counsellors shows some clear shifts in how people are planning trips in 2026 – and it’s not just about “where”, but “how” and “why” they travel.
In my latest blog, I break down the four big trends shaping 2026 travel:
🔹 Slow, passion-led travel, trips built around hobbies, wellness and how people want to feel, not just what they want to see
🔹 Micro-breaks over long-haul. More frequent, shorter trips, with multi-destination European hops (hello, Balkans) on the rise
🔹 The accommodation IS the destination, from boutique hotels to boujee villas, where you stay is now the main event
🔹 Multi-generational getaways – families pooling resources and time to create shared memories across generations
If you’re planning your next city break, girls’ weekend, family celebration or bucket-list adventure, this post might give you some inspiration.
