Mainstream solo travel
A recent survey found that 25% of Americans planned to travel alone last year. This trend he expects to continue expanding throughout 2023. There are many reasons why traveling solo is a good idea. First, traveling alone is a great way to learn more about yourself and gain confidence. Traveling alone allows you to be more open to meeting new people and truly immerse yourself in your destination. Traveling unaccompanied also gives you the freedom to explore your own itinerary on your own schedule.
In the past, solo travel was considered only suitable for single people. Right now, people of all types are jumping on trends and defying cultural norms. Couples travel without a partner, older travelers rediscover themselves, and women feel empowered to travel alone.

Digital detox vacations and general wellness travel are on the rise this year. Wellness retreats are more than just yoga classes and spa treatments. Specific vacations are available for those who need to reset and rediscover themselves. Options range from dance retreats, art workshops and women’s empowerment events to fitness and adventure travel, phytotherapy and emotional detox.
Digital detox retreats are a form of wellness travel that is rapidly gaining momentum. In an increasingly digital world, it’s easy to lose sight of reality. These organized retreats allow participants to connect with the world around them by disconnecting from technology. Phones, tablets and laptops are not allowed. Events are designed to allow attendees to truly immerse themselves in their surroundings and make genuine connections with people without technical distractions.
humble travel experience
Sobriety travel is no longer just for sobers and convalescents. More and more travelers are actively choosing to quit drinking and connect with their destination in other ways. By traveling sober, tourists can spend more money and more time on memorable and meaningful experiences. According to Lonely Planet, travelers who choose to stay sober on vacation are finding that “alcohol, which was previously served temporarily, is now starting to tap into a sense of authenticity, presence and belonging. I am aware.”
In recent years, a sober vacation has never been more convenient. This trend is expected to grow even stronger in 2023. Non-alcoholic and low-alcohol bars are popping up in big cities. Premium mocktails are on most bar menus, and there are even travel agencies coordinating low-key club nights, no-drink festivals, and low-key experiences.
long term and nomadic travel
More companies than ever before are offering their employees the opportunity to work remotely. This revived long-term nomadic travel. Long-term travel has become a popular lifestyle, allowing people to truly immerse themselves in the destination. With 45 countries now offering digital nomad visas, it’s easier than ever to live like a local in a foreign country.
Influencer group trip
Many travel influencers on TikTok, Instagram, and popular travel blogs offer curated group tours for their followers. Tours vary by influencer, but all aim to give followers a taste of the influencer’s journey. Group tours bring together like-minded people to follow the swooning travel experiences they see on social media.
Tours usually have a theme. Alyssa Ramos hosts a to-do list adventure for her followers. The Blonde Abroad curates excursions for women-only groups, and Johnny Ward accompanies devotees to developing countries to participate in community projects. The trend of influencers curating and traveling with groups of followers shows no signs of slowing down.
A powerful cultural and historical destination
More than ever, travelers are traveling with purpose. They choose destinations based on their desire to learn about the culture and history of a particular place. Destinations rich in cultural traditions and history, such as Jordan, Mexico, and many European countries, make it easy for tourists to enjoy a vacation abroad while learning more about the world we share.
Travel to multiple countries
Traveling to multiple countries in one trip is a great way for travelers to get the most out of their stay. We now know how quickly travel can take away from us, so it’s all the rage to take advantage of the time we have to explore. If so, why not make the most of your adventure by visiting multiple countries? Europe is a particularly good place for this, as the countries are close together and easily accessible by train.
