According to the Global Travel Trends Report<\/a> for 2025, 77% of people plan on taking more or the same number of international trips as last year. This explains why global travel partners have been experiencing a solid increase in flight ticket bookings over the past three months. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Furthermore, around 74% of people also plan on taking 1 to 3 domestic trips this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The bottom line is that the holiday industry is set to soar over the second half of the year. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While \u201ccoolcations\u201d were all the rage last year, in 2025, travellers are looking to travel more to warm-weather destinations, more so internationally. Some of the most popular spring travel locations lately include the Caribbean, Cancun Mexico, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Florida, the UAE, and Japan. Flight tickets to these places are experiencing an all-time high in bookings. Las Vegas tour packages<\/a>, <\/strong>Dubai tour packages<\/a> and Mexico tour packages<\/a> are particularly increasing in popularity during March, as the weather is perfect for exploration and sightseeing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A love for hidden gems and off-beat destinations<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The world\u2019s most iconic destinations and landmarks seldom see a decline in tourist activity. However, this year people have developed a new love for hidden gems and off-beat places; a look into some of the less-frequented locations and experiences worthy of a unique travel story. This trend is more prominent in India where young travellers are increasingly booking flight tickets to magical secluded islands, beaches, rainforests, and even eco-tourist accommodations. The idea of sharing a unique experience with the world and creating memories with a loved one in an untouched location, is apparently what drives people when it comes to hidden gems. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sometimes thoughtfully curated Maharashtra tour packages<\/a>, Kerala tour packages<\/a>, and Kashmir tour packages<\/a> include rare places, perfect for travellers who love hidden gems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Staycations and homestays<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mini holidays and vacations, spanning a couple of days, like a weekend getaway, are taking precedence over larger annual trips this year. This also means that travellers are looking to take advantage of exclusive short travel packages, offers, and value additions. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The rise in popularity of staycations makes perfect sense, as the number of domestic trips is projected to increase this year, implying that many travellers are likely to book flight tickets to spectacular destinations within their country or even city. Places like Las Vegas in the USA, Mumbai in India, and Queensland in Australia are great for weekend staycations and quick roadtrips. For the same reason, Queensland tour packages<\/a>, Mumbai and Goa tour packages<\/a>, and Las Vegas tour packages<\/a> are attracting more bookings lately.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As we can expect in 2025, technology has become more a part of travelling than ever before, and in different ways. Starting from simple mobile flight ticket booking, and tour package selection, to AI-assisted itinerary planning, technology is now an active part of travel planning and execution. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

According to a few recent reports<\/a>, close to 50% of travellers are in fact planning to use generative AI for various travelling needs through 2025, including flight ticket bookings, finding suitable tour packages, creating itineraries, and the like.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In addition to the creative use of AI by travel agencies for custom itineraries, other parts of the travel sector are also up to speed with technology. For instance, many airports the world over are ditching paper tags for more efficient computerised baggage handling. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hotels are also making use of intelligent beds and climate control systems in their rooms to offer richer customer experiences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a silver lining of the pandemic of 2020, people developed a strong love for all things local. The restrictions during the time forced us to open our minds and embrace what was close to us and this includes local businesses. As an extension of the trend, many people still have a soft spot and preference for local businesses when it comes to travelling in 2025. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Per research, many young travellers are increasingly looking for travel suggestions where tourism would significantly benefit the local population. People are also booking flight tickets to destinations where they have more opportunities to purchase from and support local businesses. This enables them to carry a piece of some of the indigenous work back home, much like a souvenir.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Calmcations<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Last but not least, calmcations – or holidays with the sole intention of getting some peace and quiet – is increasingly becoming a top priority among travellers. This can perhaps be attributed to the growing noise and air pollution in cities the world over. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once again, secluded spots like mountain ranges and lakes far away from the bustling concrete jungles are popular locations for these calmcations. Interestingly, people are not hesitant to splurge on luxurious stays and ecoresorts to make the most of their peaceful getaway. In some cities, travellers even book regular flight tickets in advance to take routine calmcations every few months to unpack their stress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whether it is to book a luxury hotel in the same country, or relax in a secluded beach beyond the seas, we can expect an increase in bookings, both for tour packages and flight tickets, in both international and domestic destinations. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While young travellers may rely on AI to have their itineraries planned, veterans wanderlusters may roam about new locations the old-school style. Either way, March is a great time to travel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
