2018 TRAVEL TRENDS
Improved Business Class for Domestic Flights As competition for business class flights heats up, you’ll see upgraded features from airlines that share routes. Starting this spring, Delta Air Lines will add flatbed seats and premium bedding on some longer domestic flights to compete with JetBlue’s decision to add Mint.
National Parks From Assateague to Zion, our Nation’s parks encompass a wide range of landscapes that drew record crowds in 2016. The uptick in park visitors is expected to persist throughout 2018.
Vacation Nannies As family vacations increase in popularity, so does the demand for a destination babysitter. Several companies offer hourly nannies, allowing for a date night on your trip.
Remote Luxury In this age of technology, simply disconnecting has become a luxury. As population density rises and work is ever-calling, many are seeking a remote refuge from everyday life.
Extended Travel Vacations that stretch beyond two weeks have increased in popularity as travelers desire full immersion at their destinations.
More Business Travel Results in Rising Costs The global economy is expected to grow 3.6% in 2018, which will lead to more business travel and rising prices. Hotel rates may increase 2.9%, airfare 2.3%, and ground transportation 1% in North America. Data sourced from GBTA report (www.jtbusabusinesstravel.com) Image credit: Jpatokal. Map of scheduled airline traffic around the world, circa June 2009. Contains 54317 routes.
Medical Tourism / Wellness Vacay As the price of medical coverage soars in America, people are increasingly inclined to explore other avenues and destinations for cosmetic or routine procedures. Occasionally, the difference in cost can cover the trip and travel expenses while offering a new place in which to explore or recover.
Adventure / Achievement Travel Trips based on sporting competitions or adventures are especially alluring to solo travelers, as many races provide an itinerary, suggested hotels, or host group meet-ups.
Hyperloop / The Boring Company The Boring Company plans to bore a series of tunnels for fast, safe transit in highly populated loca- tions. In addition to the routes below, projects are underway in Chicago and along the East Coast.
Eco Lodging Nature lodges are gaining in popularity among those seeking a more immersive experience in nature. According to airbnb data, eco lodging has seen a booking growth of over 700% in the past year.
Smart Luggage Smart bags are revolutionizing packing for travel with built-in features like GPS locators, weight scales, USB charging stations, solar-powered batteries, and luggage that follows you as you walk!
